FROM OUR PRESIDENT
ROSANN NANCI
![]() June 2024
Ciao at tutti! It’s the week after our Festa Della Repubblica and I find myself exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. What a party! Thank you to the community for coming out and celebrating such an important day with us. We had such a great time, it was a pleasure to meet so many new people, AND the food, cake, gelato and coffee were amazing! It was months of hard work but it was worth it. So much fun! A special shout out to Cinzia Zotta-Wendland and Maria Monna who were the co-chairs of the event, and to our fantastic and dedicated volunteers who made the day possible. Siete veramente eccessionale! KCIC had a crazy busy spring with the 58th Anniversary Dinner and Dance Gala in March; 2 Trattoria Dinners; La Bella Tavola had a great cooking class series ; plus we had our regular events such as Giuseppe’s Café and Family Social night. We ate, we drank, and we played. It was a pleasure to socialize with everyone and now as the summer starts, we can unwind and enjoy ourselves in our beautiful city. Our volunteers certainly need the break! Over the summer, please join us at the various bocce tournaments at Parkinson Rec Centre. Check the website for dates and times. And don’t forget that August 11th is our Ferragosto Family Picnic. Everyone is invited to join us for barbequed salsicce (sausages), we usually have a spaghetti eating contest, and games for the kids…. Stay tuned for more details. As our club grows, please consider volunteering for the various events and programs that we offer. Many hands make light work, and we can always use the extra hands. Reach out to our volunteer coordinator at [email protected] and let Tina know where your interests lie. We’d love to work with you. And on that note, let me wish you a great summer. Enjoy everything the Okanagan has to offer! And don’t forget to water your tomatoes! A Presto! Rosann Nanci KCIC President |
