August 2014 Issue July 25, 2014 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Cari Fratelli,

Please keep in mind our founding principles: LIBERTY, EQUALITY and FRATERNITY.

Also, please strive to achieve our objectives: TO SERVE, TO STRENGTHEN and TO UNITE.

The Roma Lodge and Vittoria Colonna’s 4th of July parade entry was a complete success. We featured our scholarship winners, advertised our great festival, promoted our wedding facilities and WON the Bernard Magruder Award in the float division. This was a result of the extraordinary cooperation, hard work and dedication of our volunteers and suppliers. This newsletter contains photos, descriptions and a listing of everyone that worked to make this event successful. Great job everyone!!! Our 36th annual festival is in full swing. We are anticipating a great event. A full festival report will be provided to our membership at our October 10th meeting. August is another busy month for us. Our membership meeting is on Friday, August 8th at 7:00pm. This meeting will be immediately followed by our annual “Sports Night”. Coffee and Cars is on Saturday, August 9th from 7:00am – 11:00am. Admission is free and open to the public. Our great Roma Lodge will host our 32nd annual bocce tournament on Sunday, August 10th. This promises to be another fun-filled and exciting event. Registration forms are available on the bocce bulletin boards. The Roma Lodge family picnic is on Sunday, August 17th. Great food and fun activities are planned. For our baseball fans, Roma Lodge’s bus trip to the Brewers vs. Toronto Blue Jays is on Wednesday, August 20th. For our football fans, Roma Lodge’s gold package featuring the Packers vs Oakland is on Friday, August 22nd. The first 2 sessions of our “Family Picture Day” are scheduled on Sunday, August 24th and Wednesday, August 27th. This is a great opportunity to get your family together for memorable photographs. All of these events serve to strengthen and unite our Roma Lodge into the best fraternal organization in the country. Please continue to monitor our calendar in the newsletter, website http://www.romalodge.com/members and the timeline in the hallway leading into our member’s dining room, for all of our events.

Our best wishes go to Chuck Daceno on his 90th birthday.

On behalf of Roma Lodge, I would like to convey special thanks to the following people: To all of the volunteers and suppliers for our 4th of July parade entry…thanks for your efforts in producing an award winning float. To Don Smiley…a belated thank you for providing Summerfest tickets for our Winter Festival and Coffee and Cars.

NOTES FOR OUR SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS Dear Roma Lodge Members I am a very proud recipient of a Roma Lodge Merit Scholarship. Thank you all for the support and showing me that you believe in what I can accomplish next year. I will be attending Carroll University where I have already been accepted into the nursing program. Thank you again for all of your support. Sincerely, Amy Grycowski

A BIT OF HISTORY OF ROMA LODGE Dear Roma Lodge Members, I thought you might be willing to post this information about Louis Bencriscutto (1919 - 1985) for your members. I'm his son, Richard, and I've just put a rare recording of his accordion music on the Internet for anyone to listen to free of charge. Louie's family, the Bencriscutto's, had a home a block or so from the old Roma Lodge by the foundry, were members, and enjoyed many a bocce ball game over the years. I believe Louie's wedding reception also took place at Roma Lodge in 1946. Louie was one of the premier local accordion players who entertained for years at the Spinning Wheel Restaurant, and at Kelly's Corner and Primavera before that. I'm sure many of your senior lodge members will remember Louie fondly and might wish to listen to the only recording of his music in existence. Here's the link: http://louisbencriscutto.bandcamp.com/track/accordion-medley-part-1

Thank you, Richard ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Membership Approved Building Repairs and Maintenanc e Projects It’s somewhat hard to believe but portions of the Roma Lodge facility is reaching 30 years of age. For many of us that is young, but those thirty years necessitate some building modifications and repairs. Approved by the Membership at the July meeting was nearly $25,000 in expenditures for the following: • Replacing carpeting in the Old Members Lounge (the bar area that serves north banquet hall) • Completing roof repairs to prevent leaking • Upgrading the interior sprinker system as required by the fire code

Thank you to Jim Faraonel, Kevin Elrod and the Building and Grounds Committee for gathering information, preparing proposals, and soliciting bids for these projects. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________

News from the Bocce Courts

LA PAGINA ITALIANA News by and About Italy

a cura di Ralph “Raffaele” Annina

Bocce Quando gli immigrati italiani hanno portato il gioco delle bocce negli Stati Uniti, lo sport è stato così radicato nella loro comunità che il primo sindaco italiano-americano di New York, Fiorello La Guardia, ordinò che fossero costruiti campi da bocce pubblici nella sua zona East Harlem. In questi giorni, bocce e' un gioco trasversale per linee etniche, genere ed età. A New York, un folto numero di appartamenti e condomini di lusso stanno attirando affittuari e acquirenti con campi da bocce. Un campo di bocce corretto deve essere piatto e di dimensioni 8-14 metri di larghezza e 60-91 metri di lunghezza. Per aggiungere emozione al gioco, i progettisti bocce-set hanno creato palline di legno riciclato, palline rivestite in lacca e palle persino LED-illuminati. When Italian emigrants brought bocce ball to U.S., the sport was so ingrained into their community that New York’s first Italian-American mayor, Fiorello La Guardia, ordered public bocce courts to be created in his East Harlem neighborhood. These days, bocce crosses ethnic, gender and age lines. In New York, a number of upscale apartment and condo developments are luring renters and buyers with bocce courts. A proper bocce court needs to be flat and level with dimensions from 8 to 14 feet wide and 60 to 91 feet long. To add excitement to the game, bocce-set designers are creating balls made from recycled wood, balls coated in lacquer and even LED-lighted balls. Source: Wall Street Journal June 20, 2014

ROMA LODGE AND VITTORIA COLONNA

WINNERS AT THE 4TH

CELEBRATION

Joan Domanico, President of Vittoria Colonna, holds the Roma Lodge - Vittoria Colonna Float Award

The Bernard F. Magruder Trophy

Bernard F. Magruder 1895 – 1968

In early 1937, the mayor of Racine, Roy Spencer, in an attempt to neutralize the bitterness that the industrial community was

experiencing, organized the Goodwill Committee. Bernard Magruder was chosen as chairman of this 25 member group made up

of business and labor leaders.

The Goodwill Committee organized a celebration centered on the 4th of July. The event was a smashing success, far beyond

anyone’s expectations. At the follow-up meeting after the Fourth, Chairman Magruder suggested that the committee stay intact

and promote the Goodwill Celebration as an annual event. Some members balked at the idea, but Magruder’s plan prevailed.

Magruder left Racine in the late 1940s to join the faculty of Wayne State University in Detroit. He later moved to Washington,

D.C. where he was on the staff of the Internal Revenue Service until his retirement. Through the years, Magruder was an active

member of the American Legion, The Masons, the Elks and many other civic and professional organizations. He was also a master

bridge player, lecturer and teacher.

Magruder passed away on October 27, 1968. The Board of Directors of Fourth Fest of Greater Racine, Inc. had decided (belatedly)

to rename the President’s Trophy the Bernard F. Magruder Trophy beginning July 4, 2006.
