F.I.L.’s Traditional Christmas Party

On December 2, 2006 the holidays have already begun as parties filled the calendar. Families of Italian Lineage started it with a sell out attendance at the beautiful Dana Point Yacht Club.

If you want to be really impressed, attend a FIL function. I guarantee you will be "bowled over" by the people present and the chairpersons who give so much of their time so that all members can enjoy many fun parties and cultural tours.

This Christmas party was no exception. Chairlady Joanne Koeppe wanted to create a really elegant and tradional Christmas evening and that was one of the reasons that FIL presented each member and guest with a large 'PANETTONE'.
Joanne chose filet mignon and wild salmon for the entree and ended with tiramisù for dessert.

With Tony Ciaramitaro singing holiday favorites and the ballrrom featuring lovely large poinsettas on colorful table linens, it was a "DONE DEAL". The SICILIAN BAND entertained, prompting dancing throughout the evening.
There was no mistaking those killer smiles from prospective
members: they came, they saw, and they were conquered by the members of FIL.

Our next functions will be a bus tour to GETTY VILLA on January 14, 2007 and a Valentine Dinner Dance on February 11, 2007.
