Quote of the month

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

HENRY FORD

Letter from the Editor

Dear Ladies,

I would like to begin the term with a grand

Thank You to everyone who has placed faith in my

capabilities. I do hope to succeed in satisfying the

majority, as I feel it improbable to please all.

The theme I have chosen for the September

issue is New Horizons. We are looking forward to

many accomplishments during this year and the best

way to succeed is to always keep our heads high.

I am looking forward to printing the many

stories of our members through out the year

describing how each one followed the horizon to

Monza.

I would also like to make note that theprice of

adverts have changed, as noted on page 20, and this

will guarantee the quality of our printing as well as

keep the membership fee down.

Thank you for your contributions.


The deadline for the October Monza News is

letter from the president

My dear friends,

In the last couple of years I have always been interested and involved in our club

activities and this election has been a great reward and pride for me.

I owe a lot to the club in terms of social life and I do believe it is the moment to make available my experience to the club for the strengthening and enhancing of our activities.

Our Club is a dynamic and busy organization but we can do more and with the help of all Board members, both the new and the old ones, we have already started to define the main goals of this new Benvenuto year:

_Spreading the club objectives in the most possibly effective way by picking up ideas and suggestions of the Members for a better and wider participation

_Consolidating the last year progress, reached thanks to our several initiatives with increasing visibility _Developing relations between the Board and all the members, _Continuing to support the projects started by the previous Board

It's my duty to express my deepest thanks to all the members who spent so much time and energy for our club and a very special " thank you" to our outgoing President Janine Davies.

The main goal of this year is YOU above everything else by means of the many initiatives I will present to you at our next meeting.

A warm hug to you all I'll try not to disappoint you Happy 2015/2016 Benvenuto Club Year!

By homely gifts and hindered words

The human heart is told

Of nothing -

"Nothing" is the force

That renovates the world... By Emily Dickenson

Dear Club Benvenuto Members,

I welcome you for our club year 2015/2016!

We start this year with two really lovely

events.

Our Welcome Party will take place Sunday,

11th October at the Bergamina near Arcore with the

Oktoberfest theme. To make it as authentic as possible we

will prepare a large part of the food ourselves. I will organize a

Potato Party at my place on Saturday, 10th October to peel

potatoes. You are invited to participate! We will keep the

participation fee as advantageous as we can and therefore we

ask only 15,00 per person including lunch and drinks. Family

and friends are welcome but please make sure that you book

your participation in time limited places!

Our Bazaar Sunda will be Sunday, 22nd November Centro

San Pietro Monza. During the September Coffee Morning you

can sign up for your Table ideas. According to the motto

Expo we would love any ideas in relation to food and nutrition

but any other idea is also welcome!!! Family and friends are

invited. ll proceeds go to charity.

Club Benvenuto is a place of great potential - all together

we can do it.

Your treasurer

Recommendation*:

Listen to the recording (in Italian) and wait for an opera-tor on the line.

If you dont speak Italian, ask for someone who speaks English.

Provide all of your personal information: name, address, telephone number and the description of your illness. Ask if there is a doctor who speaks English or your lan-guage.

They will have a doctor call you back in the next hour (usually faster). The doctor will tell you, if they need to make a house visit or if you should to go to the nearest GUARDIA MEDICA. They will give you the address of the closest one to your location.

Visits usually free of charge. House visits may be differ-ent.

This service usually works very well for a quick diagno-sis or to resolve a problem, and to obtain a prescription to go to the pharmacy.
