Wow, what a treat our October meeting turned out to be. Just before our open mic session went into full swing, our featured performer, Alex Chudolij and his incredible wife Lilliana from Clifton, NJ arrived with
their surprise visitor from Rhode Island. Alex proved to be not only a master accordion player, but also a master entertainer, with the added edging of his won-derful wife, Lilliana. Their guest was none other than their
and the MAAA’s good friend, Cory Pesaturo.
Alex and Cory started the performance with one-liners and some accordion playing as President Obama and former MA Governor Mitt Romney. This was a great treat. This was followed by Alex’s great demonstration
of accordion playing and his back ground as edited by Lilliana’s flavorful suggestions of directions for Alex to take.
October was also our annu-al meeting with a financial overview from Patty on the club’s progress throughout the year from our last annual meeting. Also, a quick peek into what is being planned for this next fiscal year, as well as, mention’s of our January 2013 Holiday party and our seasonal out– reach program.
My sincere thanks to our board member who continue to tirelessly serve the club, especially through the last 6 months of my infirmary. I am currently convalescing which is why a short and late newsletter. I expect to back to full swing, or to last year’s health in just a few weeks………...Bob
