Happy spring! Sorry I am a little late with this message. I guess spring only lasted 2 weeks, very short this year. We are now back to winter and skipped completely over summer. Wind chill below freezing and a chance of snow overnight. I guess it will be 80 by the weekend. I hope everyone had a great Saint Patrick’s day Saint Joseph’s day and a blessed Easter.

We had the Cellini Dinner Dance and Dine-a- Round for Coolies Anemia. The Golden Lion Charity ball and the Spring Plenary will be here soon hosted by the Cellini lodge.

There is one thing that I want to say to all our loyal members and I would like some comments and suggestions from all of you about what can be done to increase attendance at our meetings and our affairs. If you can’t drive at night maybe we can make an arrangement to carpool etc. It becomes quite embarrassing when we bring in a guest speaker to give you some information on insurance for elder care or other topics and we have 3 members in attendance besides the officers. There was nothing wrong with the weather it was a nice night. I know we have many older members but when we have a turnout of 3 members out of 77! I don’t know what we can do and that is why I am asking for suggestions. The same thing goes for volunteers to work on our committees. The same people over and over again work on the different affairs. Why don’t you volunteer, you can get to know people at a different level.You will be surprised how much you will enjoy it?

We are coming up on the 50th anniversary of our lodge and I want everyone to pitch in to make this year a success. We are constantly trying to come up with new ideas to make sure everyone enjoys their OSIA experience. We have Night at the Races coming up at our next meeting and in May we have a Paint night. It would be a great idea to bring a friend to these events and maybe they may even want to join. You know the old saying ” April showers bring May showers “ Rain is one thing but snow !!!!!!!

Please be safe and careful. Prayers are still in order for Carmen Pintabona, Florence Iovino’s daughter, Caroline Vasaturo & Ralpha Nicolosi.

Hanno un grande mese tutti.

Editors Corner

I have been the editor for The Judge Frank A. Gulotta Lodge newsletter for the past 10 years. It’s been my pleasure bringing you the most up to date information on events for NYSOSIA and our lodge. There is a concern of mine that I would like to mention. On Wednesday March 9th “meeting night”, a guest speaker Gene Cutler was invited to speak on the topic of Long Term Care Insurance. To my surprise, in attendance was a hand full of members. Keep coming to the meetings, support our events and fundraising efforts. Bask in the energy of all the wonderful members in the lodge. This is your lodge. Be proud of all we have accomplished. If for any reason you are experiencing difficulty in getting to a meeting or in anything, please call your President or another member.

Editors Corner

Let me begin by saying, I have had the privilege of being the Editor of our lodges newsletter for the past 10 years. It’s been my pleasure bringing you the most up to date information and events of NYS OSIA and of our lodge. I would like to mention a concern of mine about general membership meetings. On Wednesday March 9th (general membership meeting), a quest speaker “Gene Cutler” was invited to speak on the topic of Long Term Care Insurance. To my surprise, a hand full of members attended. I understand that we all have our own things that come up and take priority but attendance at meetings has been down for some time. Our council works hard to bring
