President's Message


Jim Boitano, Il Presidente

Greetings, Cenacolisti!

Now that we are heading into February, I, probably like many of you, am eagerly awaiting the coming of Spring. We received a real pelting of rain while I was sitting composing this letter . . .

Quotable


From an interview in the San Francisco Chronicle
with Christopher Herb Caen, Herb Caen's son:

Q. When you were a kid, what did you want to be?

A. When I was very young, I was at a birthday party.
My mom was going around the table saying,
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" 
Kids were saying, "An astronaut," "a fireman," "a policeman."
I said, "An Italian."
