Dear Nutley UNICO Member,
We hope that this writing finds everyone in good health!
The holidays are upon us and we are making the best of a difficult situation. To say that COVID has altered our lives is an understatement, but Nutley UNICO has done as much as possible to continue its good deeds in spite of it!
To summarize:
We held two dinner meetings outdoors; one in September to celebrate the start of a new year for UNICO and in October we hosted the celebration of Christopher Columbus with our Wreath Laying Ceremony and joined Belleville and the parade committee with a caravan of cars and then a luncheon at Mamma Vittoria. Just last week, we held our first indoor gathering to honor our veterans. 35 members joined us, socially distanced, to recognize and celebrate our Veterans!
Thanksgiving will be different this year for many who will not share the dinner table with all the family and friends of years past, but with technology we can all do our part to bring “TOGETHER” into our homes. Whether you ZOOM, Facetime, or Google Meet, you can get to see everyone you love and share the holiday.
This year Nutley UNICO will NOT host the annual Christmas Party at Nanina’s in the Park. This was a difficult decision but everyone’s safety is of our utmost concern. However, we will be asking our members to donate food and toys for this Christmas season to help those less fortunate. Please watch your email to learn how you can help and donate on behalf of Nutley UNICO.
The New Year is always an opportunity for new beginnings. Nutley UNICO looks forward to 2021 to continue to grow our membership and look for ways to continue our charitable work. We are resilient and resourceful, caring & loving and with these qualities there isn’t anything we can’t do together. Be safe, stay healthy and remember we’re all in this together.
Happy Thanksgiving, Buon Natale e Auguri per un Felice Anno Nuovo!!!
Ciao,
Lorraine Bini Kucinski
