G. Caboto Club Notizie / News Nov., 2014
Dal Presidente Roberto Tonial
Dear Members,
It is hard to believe that four years have already passed us by and it
seems that it was only yesterday that I wrote my first message to the
Members. Being your President has been one of the greatest honours
of my life and I have been truly blessed to be associated with such an outstanding
organization. I look back at all that has taken place here at the Club these past four
years: Car Shows, Wine Tours, Communications, Cook Book, archiving the Club’s
history and an Art and Culture program that is second to none. We have
accomplished much these past four years, but it would not have been possible
without the hard work of the Board and the support of the Membership! It is my
dream that this hard work and the advancement of our Club continues, so I ask all of
you to come out to the election in December and vote. Vote not only because
someone is your friend, but because he has shown you his dedication to our Club,
he has shown you that he is here to work and he has shown you that he is here to
lead and make the hard decisions that are required of a Board Member.
Winter is fast approaching and with it comes the Holiday Season, so I would like to
take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year. Remember to take some time out of your holidays to come
by the Member’s Bar for a drink or an espresso with your friends!
In closing, let me say thank you once again for all your support these past four years
and I look forward to seeing you at the Club.
Roberto Tonial, President
Cari Soci,
E’ difficile credere che siano già passati quattro anni, eppure sembra ieri quando
ho scritto il mio primo messaggio ai Soci. Essere stato il vostro Presidente é stato
uno degli onori piú grandi della mia vita e mi considero fortunato di fare parte di
questa eminente organizzazione. Guardo indietro a tutto quello che é successo quí
al Club negli scorsi quattro anni; dall’esposizioni d’auto alle gite ai vigneti, dal
programma di Comunicazioni al Libro di Cucina, e dagli Archivi a un programma
di Arte e Cultura che é secondo a nessuno. Abbiamo realizzato tanto in questi
ultimi quattro anni, ma il tutto non sarebbe stato possibile senza l’arduo lavoro del
Consiglio e il sopporto dei Soci. Il mio sogno é che questo grande lavoro e
avanzamento del nostro Club continui, perció vi chiedo di essere presente il
giorno delle elezioni a votare. Votate non soltanto per il candidato che é un vostro
amico, ma per quelli che hanno dimostrato un interesse per il Club e che sono quí
per lavorare e per fare parte delle difficili decisioni che sono richieste da ogni
Membro del Consiglio.
L’Inverno si avvicina e cosí anche le Feste Natalizie, perció colgo questa
opportunità per augurare a voi e le vostre famiglie un Buon Natale e Felice Anno
Nuovo. Ricordatevi di fare una visitina al bar dei Soci per gustare una bevanda o
un caffé con i vostri amici.
Nel concludere, desidero ringraziarvi ancora una volta per tutto il sopporto che mi
avete mostrato in questi ultimi quattro anni e spero di vedervi spesso al Club.
Il Presidente: Roberto Tonial
Giovanni Caboto di Saverio Galli

Christmas should be a happy time of the year with a lot of celebration. Unfortunately, there are people within the
Caboto Club itself, who do not have the means to enjoy the Holidays. The Caboto Club has a Committee set up to help
members in need of support at this time of the year. If there is anyone in need, you think we should know about,
please contact our Chairman, Pietro Palermo (250-9017) or Co-Chairman, Gino Benotto (253-9391). There are
various ways in which we can help. Rest assured that each case will remain private and be reviewed with discretion.
Chairman: Pietro Palermo

Laura and Sarah have had a fantastic start this
season with the Choir, singing at St. Angela
Church and preparing for Holiday
performances. They’ve been working hard
planning ahead for the Caboto’s 90th
Anniversary Members’ Banquet: they are
looking for any past Choir members to join
their current members for a few practices to
sing together for this very special occasion –
ALL PAST MEMBERS WELCOME.
Practices held Fridays, 6:30 – 7:30pm

Caboto’s Over 50’s

CABOTO CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY
Once again, Santa Claus will be visiting the Caboto Club! In this newsletter you will also receive your official Santa
Gift Card. In order to receive a gift, this card must be completed and brought with you on the day of the Christmas
Party. Parents print your card clearly and accurately to avoid any complications. Gifts will only be given to
member’s children aged ten years or younger. Your child must be born on or after January 1, 2004 to enable him or
her to receive a gift. No gifts will be given out the day after the party.
Only Member’s children are invited and eligible to attend the Christmas Party. Unfortunately, children who are not
the sons or daughters of members – that is cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren or friends cannot be invited.
Children have been turned away in the past, and to avoid disappointment, we ask that you please respect this request.
No gifts will be given out prior to Santa’s Arrival, with doors opening at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, December 21, 2014 in
the Canada Hall. Entertainment begins at 1:00 p.m. and includes a visit from Mr. & Mrs. Claus. A hot dog lunch will
be available while Santa visits with the children and distributes his gifts.
Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!!
