Those of us who were fortunate to have known her will remember what a gracious person she was and how very
Marie Franco, Connie Moran and Ed Ivani. The idea of our Italian Club “IRC” was formed in 2006 with the intention to
share, remember and promote our Italian heritage and culture. As with any 1st and 2nd generation ethnic group we
remember with pride, our heritage and the traditions that were part of our everyday lives especially those centered on
the holidays. It is with a smile on our face and a tear in our eye that we fondly remember our parents and grandparents,
the work ethic, love of family and the love of country that they instilled in us. This club was formed to proudly
remember them and to pass it on to all. As my mother always said “All are welcome at our table”. It is with pride we
announce that the IRC is the largest club at GlenLakes with over 230 members. We have come a long way from our
humble beginnings, thanks to all of the volunteers who have given of their time and talents. Without each and every
one of you we would not be here today. And now you know the rest of the story.
Vostro devotissimo,
Gail and Rich Mercadante
