Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are now in the midst of summer weather in South Florida. High humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, 90+ deg. F. temperatures. Time to cool down at the beach and enjoy time with friends and family. Our Bonanno Lodge family continues to be very active. Our first summer luncheon at the Malbec Grill on June 12 was a great success and well attended. Delicious food, numerous entrée selections, and enjoyable conversations made the day. Our next summer dinner at the Sicilian Oven (a favorite of our members) on July 19 will continue to create interaction of the membership in the absence of general business meetings during June – August. Remember, family and friends are invited so spread the word. Due to the success of our Bonanno Lodge cruise on the Celebrity Eclipse last January, we are again organizing a cruise on the Celebrity Beyond for the end of January 2027. Look for announcements in our event flyer and this newsletter. Our Council continues to meet during the summer months and is refining the new member strategic plan, accounting documentation, speaker program, and member surveys. As always, your comments and suggestions to improve our operations are welcomed. We ARE listening.

I appreciate your continued support and look forward to our productive, enjoyable interaction.

Sincerely,

Bob Ianniello

President
