I would like to take this opportunity to

     thank everyone who volunteered time setting

     up and operating FESTIVAL ITALIANO 2009.

           A handful of volunteers make this

     festival a success each and every year.      This is a

     large undertaking and I greatly appreciate

     your time and effort as the festival could

     not be successful with out you!

           This year I have decided to have the festival in honor

     of Lou Santella,

                 A TRIBUTE TO LOU.
