Fraternally Yours,

February is our elections month, however, since we have a full board from our nominations. There is no necessity to have elections. At our February meeting we will thank our present council and welcome our new council. Since our meeting in February will most likely be short, I have decided to add a quiz about Italy. Let’s see how much everyone knows about Italy? The Jupiter Jubilee is Saturday, February 1st, from 11a.m. to 4p.m. I will be there, but I need some volunteers to come and spend one hour each with me, to help promote our

lodge and increase our membership. We also provide information about the National, State and Local scholarships that are available to graduating students in 2020 of Italian descent.Joe and I went to Dr. Lee’s office to check his hearing aids. A new doctor, Mitch Aqualina took care of Joe. In talking with him, I found out we gave him a scholarship in June 2009. It was a great feeling to see that our scholarship helped someone to achieve his goals in life. I would like to get in touch with other recipients and have them come and speak to us about their current status.

We enjoyed our lunch at Grande’s Restaurant. When you come to the meeting please bring some ideas for activities or restaurants.

LIFE’SOUTLOOK–AWAYOFTHINKINGLife is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “ Wow, what a ride!!!”We tend to forget that happiness does not come as a result of what we do not have, but rather from recognizing what we do have.During times in life when uncertainty or sorrow are difficult to move through, just remember there will always be best moments. Recall yours or imagine new ones….either way, it is sure to bring a smile when you need it most. Author Unknown

Saint Valentine’s Day also known as Valentine’s Day or Feast of Saint Valentine is a holiday observed on February 14th of each year. St. Valentine’s Day began as a liturgical celebration, one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belong to February 14th, and added to latermartyrologies. A popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a letter signed “Your valentine” as a farewell. Today, Saint Valentine’s Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion, as well as in the Lutheran Church. The day was first associated with

romantic love in circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). In Europe, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”, as well as to children, in order to ward off Saint Valentine’s Malady. Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the 19th century; handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Valentine’sDayintheUSValentine’s Day is an extremely popular festival in the United States of America. People in the US observe a holiday on this day to honor St. Valentine and to express love to dear ones. Taking opportunity of the festival people express gratitude and love for sweethearts, spouse, teachers, parents or

any other person close to them.Valentine’sDayCelebrationinItaly

People of Italy see Valentine’s Day as a holiday imported from the US, just like Halloween and Mother’s Day. For the love and lovers country of Italy, the major day for celebration of love is il giorno della festa degli innamorati. As lovers’ exclusively celebrate this day family members and friends do not exchange gifts. In recent times however, lovers in Italy celebrate Valentine’s Day by expressing their love to sweethearts. Couples usually go out for dinners at a pizzeria or restorante. Just as in several other countries, the festival has been commercialized to a great extent. There is a strong tradition to exchange gifts like roses, perfume, chocolates and diamonds depending on the age and taste of a person. Another popular Valentine’s Day gift in Italy is Baci Perugina - a small, chocolate-covered hazelnut containing a small slip of paper with a romantic poetic quote in four languages.

All Taken from the Internet

Valentine’s Day is synonymous with love and Italians traditionally have been considered to be lovers. Known in Italy as “La Festa Degli Innamorati,” Valentine’s Day is celebrated only between lovers

and sweethearts. Young sweethearts in Italy profess their love for each other all year round with a more recent tradition, attaching padlocks or “lucchetti” to bridges and railings and throwing away the key.The celebration of Valentine’s Day in Italy is actually an imported holiday from the American tradition, just like Halloween which was never originally an Italian tradition but is celebrated today. It is a holiday for romantic couples and children do not exchange Valentine cards as they do in the United States.

ValentineCelebrationsinItalyTo celebrate this lovers’ holiday Italians give each other flowers, plan romantic dinners and present each other with chocolates, much like in the United States. The renowned Italian chocolate maker, Perugina celebrates this day by making a special edition of the Baci chocolate candies with a shiny red wrapper

Editor’s comment: some of the following may be repetitive, but the majority is of another aspect.

Italian Lovers Celebrate Valentine’s Dayand a sweet red cherry and liquid center rather than the traditional hazelnut one. These chocolates are always a favorite and inside the foil wrapper there is a “love note” with a romantic phrase.Florence and Venice are traditionally considered to be two of the most romantic places in Italy but Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet celebrates Valentine’s Day with a four-day celebration of events designated “Verona in Love.” In the center of Piazza dei Signori a giant red heart is painted on the street and illuminated heart-shaped lanterns are featured throughout the city center. Free concerts with romantic themes take place in Piazza dei Signori and there is a contest for the most beautiful letter written to Juliet. To attract lovers and sweethearts to spend a weekend in Verona, many of the local hotels offer deals and the restaurants feature specially priced menus.

LocksofLoveorLucchettidell’AmoreThe tradition of locking padlocks to bridges, railings and lamp posts began in Italy a little more than four years ago after the release of the best-selling book “Ho voglio di te” (I want you) by the Italian author Federico Moccia. This was followed by the popular movie with the same name starring Riccardo Scamarcio and Laura Chiatti.In the story young lovers tie a chain and a

padlock around a lamppost on the north side of Rome’s ponte Milvio and inscribes their names on it, lock it and throw the key into the Tiber River below. The action suggests that the couple will be together forever.Throughout Italy I have found these locks usually near bridges but also in more peculiar places such as an overhead sign on the walking tail in the Cinque Terre. Many cities have placed bans on having these locks on bridges citing that it takes away from the beauty and culture of the structure, also adding safety concerns.

Most recently the Rome authorities have issued a decree that the thousands of padlocks on the ponte Milvio must be removed, and in Venice a few months earlier the authorities removed hundred of locks from the Accademia Bridge and announced their intent to do the same on the Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal.

In Florence police removed more than 5000 locks from the ponte Vecchio where it is a crime to attach these locks today yet they continue to appear anywhere they can be attached. The phenomenon has spread to Turin, Bologna, Palermo and even into other European countries. Love conquers all seems to apply here as it is a losing battle with the Italian authorities.

President’s Day, also known as Washington’s Birthday, is on the third Monday of February each year and is a federal holiday in the United States. The day not only honors George Washington (born February 22), the first President of the United States, and Abraham Lincoln (born February 12) whose birthdays are both in February, but honors all the presidents who have served in the United States.Uniform Monday Holiday ActOn June 28, 1968 the United States Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act changing many federal holidays to move over to Monday from other days of the week. Originally Washington’s Birthday was celebrated on February 22nd each year but was permanently moved in 1968 with the signing of the new Act. So the new date of President’s Day will fall between February 15 and the 21st each year and never on his (Washington’s) actual birthday of February 22nd.Days to Presidents’ Day 2020, Monday, February 17th is day number 48 of the 2020 calendar year with 1 month, 12 days until Presidents’ Day 2020.
