Ciao a Tutti
Hello to all. First and foremost, my sister Karen and I want to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to every
member of our IASC Family who gave a hug, sympathetic words, Mass cards, condolence cards, flowers,
food and prayers on the loss of our Mother Phyllis. Also, a special “Thank You” to my Board for their
understanding and compassionate support through this time.
July was a very hot and rainy month but not at our Club! We kicked off and cooled off the month with our
Margaritaville Dinner Dance. Enjoyable time was had by all, especially those who partook in our
Margarita specialty drink with souvenir glass! Tim Rippey kept all on the dance floor and the food was
delicious. Thank you to all our staff and special thank you to our Social committee for the planning and
beautiful decorations as always! After this cool down the club got “HOT” like the weather with our
extremely successful Tito “Latin Pub Night” they were fantastic. The club was full and dancing went on till
1:30 am! Last, but not least we had our 2nd pub night of the month with a new band “Twisted Vibes” a
local rock group. They rocked it out with many memorable tunes and we thank the support of our local
nonmembers for coming out to make this a successful night. Please support our Club! You have no idea
what you are missing.
We only have 2 events to support our club this August month financially, so please make an effort to
come out and enjoy. We are currently selling tickets for our August Dinner” Seas the Day and Nautical
Nights” with entertainer Phil Farino. Again, please come out and support this summer time dinner dance,
we need you! Tickets are still on sale up to next Tuesday night, August 8th, so don’t delay anymore call
the office and reserve your seats now. Remember the Front door opens at 6:00pm and the ballroom
opens at 6:30PM. You have plenty of time to get your drink and your seats. Hope to see all of you there.
Our 2nd and last event of the month will be our Pub Night this month featuring “Soul Fire”! They are back
by popular demand from numerous member requests. Everyone loves their sound and dance music! If
you have never joined us and love that Disco era you will be amazed with their feature singer Nicole
doing a few Donna Summer tunes and more. There is no place around where you can get this great
entertainment and a good appetizer buffet for $10.00. We have started a new “Bistro 45” (in our front
lounge) $10.00 buffet every Thursday night 5:30pm-7:00pm with dancing and karaoke after 7pm. Do not
want to cook that night? Then come out for a delicious and filling buffet and the price is right! Then
starting August 24-October, we will be having Beginners Salsa Lessons in the Ballroom. The cost is a
one-time fee of $50.00 which includes eight weeks of classes from a professional instructor Luis
Caballero. The time is every Thursday from 7:30pm – 8:30pm with an additional 30 mins of practice.
Please call the office to sign up now. We still have some openings so do not delay sign up!
On to our Club business. Thank you to Mike Aulicino and Lois Big Mountain for stepping in pro tem as
Director and Secretary until we can vote on permanent placement. We lost one of our newer Members
this month Dominick DiAngelo. Please pray for him and his family members. Also, please pray for our
members who have just lost a loved one recently and all who need our prayers.
Remember, “THIS IS OUR CLUB AND OUR FAMILY”. We are the “BEST CLUB ON THE STRIP”!
Grazie a Tutti
Chuck Buglione, President

HERITAGE COMMITTEE
G A L I L E O G A L I L E I
The study of Astronomy was invented by Ptolemy, a second century Egyptian astronomer and geographer. The Earth
was the center of the universe; the sun, the moon, and all other heavenly bodies revolved around the Earth.
This was accepted until Copernicus, a sixteenth century Polish astronomer, published a treatise on the revolution of
heavenly bodies. His treatise placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at the center of the Universe. His book was banned
by the Catholic Church.
Shortly after the publication of Copernicus treatise, a brilliant Italian astronomer and mathematician at the University
of Padua, Galileo Galilei, perfected an instrument called a telescope. This instrument could be of use to the Church. The
telescope would resolve the pernicious conflict between the church and the new emerging science. Galileo was
summoned to Rome, and he was ordered not to teach the Copernicum system. He was ordered to use his telescope to
prove that the sun moves around the Earth and not the other way. In 1632 Galileo published documents that, not only
confirmed the discoveries of Copernicus, but also laid the foundation of modern astronomy.
Galileo was arrested and brought to Rome for trial. He was forced to retract his publications and accept the prevailing
science that the Earth was a stationary body at the center of the Universe, and the Sun revolved around the Earth. As he
rose from his knees, Galileo muttered, EPPUR SI MUOVE, “nevertheless, it does move.”
Galileo died under house arrest in Siena, Italy. He defiantly insisted that truth arrived at through science is more
valuable than wishful thinking. His final book, DIALOGUES CONCERNING THE NEW SCIENCES, summarized his
remarkable contributions to the way in which the physical world is understood to this very day.
