Fra poche settimane i primi segni della natura ci diranno che la Primavera e` alle
porte. I primi fiori faranno capelino da sotto la neve, e le gemme degli alberi si
ingrosseranno preparandosi a sbocciare. Sono ansioso di vedere se gli stessi
segni primaverili si manifesteranno qui alla Famee. Dopo un`inverno freddissimo,
e qui non mi riferisco a quello del calendario, sembra si possa intravedere
qualche segno di vita nuova. Questo fara` di sicuro piacere ai membri del
Direttivo che in diversi modi si sono dedicati a far che questa ondata di maltempo si
trasformasse in qualcosa di positivo.
Una soddisfazione questa che ripaghera` l`impegno ed il lavoro da loro svolto.
Portera` sicuramente soddisfazione anche al ‘Manager’ ed alla sua ‘Equipe’.
Anche loro si sono dedicati con integrita` e professionalismo per rimettere la
Famee sulla giusta strada. Mi auguro che tutto questo porti un po` di soddisfazione
anche a voi Soci, sapendo che i rappresentanti da voi eletti stannno lavorando
per il benessere della vostra Famee e che i risultati, anche se nell`infanzia sono
positivi.
Una spinta ed incoraggiamento da parte vostra sarebbe quello di ottenere una delle nuove “Gift Cards” che abbiamo
messo a vostra disposizione, caricarla con un bel po di soldini e gradualmente usarla Al Fogolar e nella Saletta. Questo
ci darebbe la sensazione che stiamo facendo un lavoro di squadra - il Direttivo, il Management e voi Soci. Alla fine dei
conti se il lavoro di squadra e` ben co-ordinato non puo` che portare eccellenti risultati.
In attesa di una grande fioritura, vi saluto caramente.

Villa Leonardo Gambin Resident Reaches Century Mark
Buon compleanno, Giuseppe Vitale
On February 12th, surrounded by family and well wishers, Giuseppe Vitale, a resident
of the home since November 2008, celebrated his one hundredth birthday. Mr.
Vitale is the youngster of the century mark club at the residence, Cesare Noce
being one hundred and three years young.
Not many of us can say we are one hundred years young let alone expect to reach
such a milestone. Throughout his life journey, which included growing up without
a father (due to circumstances that separated them), living through two world wars,
poverty, depression and experiencing the death of a young son and a wife after
sixty years of marriage Giuseppe Vitale has had three constants: love of family;
appreciation of music, especially the organetto; and being an optimist.

Giuseppe Vitale was one of three children (the others being Maria and Aquilina) born to Rocco Vitale and Rosina Falcone.
At a young age, by today’s standard, he married Teresa Ricchio and together had nine children: Francesco; Adolfo;
Alberto; Fiore (who died at three years of age); Vittorio; Fiore; Sestino; Tonino; and Vincenzo.
Like many Italians who sought a new future in Canada, the Vitale family began its passage to
this country in the mid 1950’s. Following his eldest sons and their families, Giuseppe Vitale
arrived in Canada in 1959 and sponsored the remaining members of the family soon thereafter.
Today Giuseppe Vitale is the family patriarch of five generations which includes twenty-four
grandchildren, thirty-three great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Buon compleanno Giuseppe!!

This past December the Villa Leonardo Gambin Charity
Board established the Service Recognition
Programme to acknowledge and appreciate the
efforts of staff and community minded individuals
towards the Charity and its long term care
residence.
The success of the organization can be attributed to many factors and among them is the
dedication and loyalty of staff in providing top
quality healthcare services to our residents in a
caring, empathetic and respectful manner. Within the
Service Recognition Programme, staff will be recognized at
five year intervals from the fifth year through to the twentyfifth year of service.
The Board of Directors broadened the scope
of the programme to also include members
of the community that have made multi-year
volunteer commitments to the achievements
of the charity.
On Thursday, December 10, 2009, at the
inaugural service recognition ceremony eightyfive individuals were presented with their Villa
Leonardo Gambin service pin.

Tesolin, Renowned Canadian Jewellery Designer
I remember first hearing about Rita Tesolin when participating
at one of the Società Femminile Friulana’s fashion shows.
Her jewellery was paired with the clothing and I remember
how the ladies reacted. They were a hit.
Rita’s creations are show stoppers. Open any magazine with
a fashion spread, and you’ll see what I mean. Since childhood,
Tesolin has had a way with creating unique jewellery. At
first, she began working with leather, suede and metals
shaping them into unique pieces of jewellery. At the age of
seventeen she had to quit working for Simpson's to keep up
with demand for her product for the same retailer.
Later on, Tesolin focused on completing law school and
embarking on her new career as an intellectual property
lawyer in downtown Toronto. After taking a break from law
she decided to have some fun and began to create jewellery.
Her pieces had once again gained the notice of the owner of
a Toronto boutique. He placed an order on the spot.
Tesolin decided to pursue a different course in life and gave
herself one year to establish enough clientele to sustain a
company. Fortunately, things went well and Rita Tesolin Inc.
4
took root. Tesolin's trademark, her name with a Monarch
butterfly symbolized the change in her path. A transformation,
a new beginning.
Her pieces have been worn by Jeanne Beker, Tanya Kim, and
Wendy Crewson, on the cover of Elle Canada by Coco Rocha,
and none other than the red hot Taylor Swift on the cover of
Flare magazine. She’s also been part of Canada’s Next Top
Model, Project Runway and So You Can Think You Can Dance
Canada by Judges and contestants alike. Tesolin is currently
working with designers Greta Constantine, David Dixon and
Brandon Dwyer for the upcoming Toronto Fashion Week.
Tesolin has become a national star in the fashion industry yet
does not hesitate to assist community initiatives and
charities. She has actively worked with the Oak Leaf Gala in
support of the Villa Leonardo Gambin Charity and its long
term care residence for the past two years and hopes to do
so for many more (including this year’s which will take place
in October).

La primevere e la cisilute

Ma in cûr tante tristesse,
par chel ben iò ài pierdût,

E le àn partade,in paradis.
Une volte su la puarte dal Municipi di Cjampfuarmit, al jere scrit “Furlans, fevelaît par Furlan”. Daspò, par vie

Natale alla Famee Furlane
December is a time for celebrations at the Famee beginning with a tradition that
goes back many decades…..Babbo Natale. In the past this was an afternoon
event, held on the first Sunday in December. For the past 2 years we have asked
Santa to join us in the morning so that we could have ‘Breakfast with Santa’. In
addition to Santa’s toy bag, this year he brought some special elves to help out
and in the end the Balarins of the Famee performed a dance for the audience
encouraging other kids to join in.
The week after Santa, the Famee hosts the Arie di Natale. This year we had both
choirs, Il Coro di Santa Cecilia and Le Voci del Friuli along with the Balarins of the
Famee performing. Alberto De Rosa was the host this year and he introduced
Carlo Vanini on the trumpet and Tony and Edda Picco peforming a play called
“Toni e Mariute” written by Rina Del Nil Cralli. Gianni Ceschia, Rosemary Maraldo
and Fernando Clabassi performed a poem called “La Notte Santa”.
After all the Christmas festivities are over with and the new year is here, we then
have La Befana, another traditional custom at the Famee in January. With stockings
lining the hallway to the Canada Room, vin burle’ simmering and pinza waiting to
be shared, the children gathered by the fire to learn about another custom and
its significance, the bonfire (falo’). As most of us recall, the falo’ was lit on the eve
6
of the Epiphany in many
towns across Friuli. This
old Roman custom signifies
the death of old Mother
Nature and the birth of a
younger Mother Nature.
The children read a poem
about the Befana and
called her to make her
grand entrance.
As the
Befana moved among the
children, she distributed
sweets, tangerines and
walnuts and addressed
them with praise and promises for good behaviour. A very special thank you to
Luciana Pol Bodetto and Gianna Grigio for supplying the delicious pinza, and to
the Women’s Auxiliary for organizing the event. Among our guests, we were
honoured to have a visitor from Italy, Sara Del Zuanne, who was very impressed
to see that our traditions were being imparted to our young. We may be living
worlds apart, but our native Friuli is always in our heart!

A un anno dalla sua morte.
Chi era veramente Pietro Pecile, al jere un Furlan vêr di chei dut un toc, coma
ca si dîs “ Salt Onest Lavoradôr “
Parole queste tratte da una canzone, e che identificano le persone come lui e
lo vedremo più avanti. Nato a Cosa di San Giorgio della Richinvelda nel 1930,
il terzo di una famiglia numerosa composta di nove tra fratelli e sorelle, mezzadri dei conti Attimis di Maniago. Alcuni componenti della famiglia prenderanno poi come lui, la strada dell’emigrazione anzi fu propio lui il primo a raggiungere la sorella Silvana a Toronto nel novembre del 1955.
Terminato il servizio militare, del regimento alpini, decide di seguire l’esempio
di tanti corregionali, erano gl’anni del grande flusso emigratorio, e quindi si
imbarca a Genova destinazione; come già detto Toronto, dove trovera’ ad
attenderlo la sorella con il marito Gino Cilio e con cui poi temporaneamente
alloggerà.
Il cognato aveva già iniziato un’ attività di carpenteria, il lavoro non mancava,
la voglia di mettersi a fare qualcosa era grande anche per il famoso “ san scugni’ “ e il nostro Pieri si mise subito ad imparare un nuovo mestiere che alla fine,
non solo gli piaceva ma era sopratutto rimunerativo e continuerà a farlo fino al
pensionamento. Il tempo passava, e siccome a lui piaceva scrivere, erano frequenti le lettere inviate alla fidanzata Rina che non vedeva l’ora di raggiungerlo. Ed ecco che finalmente il 7 di febbraio 1959 anche Rina arriva a Toronto, si
sposeranno otto giorni dopo, per una strana ma alquanto gradita coincidenza,
si trattò della celebrazione di un dupplice matrimonio.
Dalla loro unione nasceranno quattro figli Elizabeth, Giuliana, Mario e Sandro,
e per la gioia dei nonni, riempiono la casa ben otto nipoti. La famiglia cresceva
bene e bisognava fare qualcos’altro, alcuni amici lo invitano a far parte della
Olympic Torch Relay Vancouver 2010
Winter Olympics
Famee Furlane, Pieri non si fà pregare e nel 1969 si iscrive al sodalizio e come
si può leggere nella foto che quì riportiamo, la sua tessera porta il numero164
e la Famee era Mutual BenefitSociety .
Da quel giorno, parte del suo tempo libero lo dedicherà alle funzioni della
Famee. Farà subito parte di uno speciale comitato che a quel tempo gestiva in
seno alla Famee, le funzioni organizzative di tutte le attività siano esse di carattere sociale, culturale, ricreativo, o folkloristico, e siccome in quel tempo la
famee
Furlane non aveva ancora una sede propria, ciò comportava un lavoro ancora

anche nelle riunioni d’assemblea non esitava ad alzarsi in piedi e dire la sua, e
se pr qualche ragione non vi riusciva, allora lo metteva per iscritto, che puntualmente faceva pervenire al presidente, anche lo scrivente nè sà qualcosa,
perchè anch’io quando facevo parte del consiglio d’amministrazione, ho ricevuto alcune sue lettere, dove obiettava questa, o quella decisione, che secondo lui si avrebbe dovuto fare in un altro modo. Ma tutte le sue obiezioni, tutti i
suoi consigli erano di una spontaneità unica genuina, sincera, ed erano solo e
unicamente a fin di bene non solo per la Famee Furlane a cui era molto legato,
ma anche per l’intera comunita’ friulana. Per questo forte legame, il comitato
culturale della Famee, gli ha conferito l’attestato di “ Bon Furlan “ attestato che
viene presentato ogni anno a soci più meritevoli durante le celebrazioni de “
il 3 di Avril fieste dal popul Furlan “. Anche con la famiglia Pieri era severo, i figli
li trattava con la stessa misura, insegnando loro i veri valori morali che sono l’integrità, e il rispetto per tutti, nelle feste grandi, come Natale, Pasqua, tutta la
famiglia doveva riunirsi a tavola per il pranzo a casa sua senza transigere.
Arrivato all’età della pensione, Pieri si trova ad avere molto più tempo a disposizione, almeno quando i nipotini non erano in per casa, così venne a far parte

Computer Training at the Famee
In December the Board of Directors at the Famee
provided 3 new computers in the library for use by the
members of the Club and members of the Età d’Oro.
This was done in co-ordination with the goal of
improving the presence of the Famee Furlane, Villa
Leonardo Gambin and Friuli Terrace on the internet
and to facilitate future communications via e-mail.
In an effort to help the members of the Club become
more comfortable with computers and the internet,
we are providing classes twice a week for 2 hours at a
time. Roberto Clocchiatti will be available on
Wednesdays at 4pm after the Età d’Oro lunch and
John Visentin will alternate with George Rodaro on
Saturday mornings at 11am. We will be available to
Members of the Gruppo Eta D’Oro are excited to
answer any questions about computers, e-mailing and
learn new activities on the computer.

The classes are available to members of the Famee Furlane or the Gruppo Età d’Oro. In an effort to co-ordinate
the time of the instructors we ask that you notify the office one day in advance or sign up for the available
places in the computer book in the office. The classes are limited to a maximum of 6 people at one time
because there are only 3 computers. Members are encouraged to use the computers at other times by
signing up at the office.

Dolomite Ski Club at
Mont Tremblant
Another very successful, memorable and safe outing
can be recorded for the Dolomite Ski Club who once
again this year travelled to Quebec's Mt. Tremblant to
share in a long weekend of great skiing, fabulous
food, an abundance of good times and camaraderie.
Although it was a wee bit chilly on the mountain there
was plenty of sparkling sun, warm coverings not to
mention good "spirits" to keep everyone warm and
cosy. Thank you to all who participated. Your generous
spirit and sense of fun and adventure help make this
annual excursion the great success that it is.
I Soci, Le Castagne e un Tai di Vin
Who says that members’ meetings are dry and boring? Every
November at the members’ meeting, after the serious discussions
have taken place, the smell of roasting chestnuts fills Friuli Hall
and the members are treated to fresh, roasted ‘castagne con un
taiut di vin’.
This is a tradition that has continued at the Famee for many
decades and marks the turning point between the somber mood
of “Il Giorno dei Morti’ on November 1st and Christmas which is
just around the corner. At the end of the evening an impromptu
choir breaks out with some traditional Furlan songs.
After a difficult year of stewardship some Board members enjoy a break.
The meeting minutes, some chestnuts and a glass of water.
After a few chestnuts and wine some tradition Furlan songs are sung.
Famee Furlane Gift Card
The Famee Furlane Toronto is excited about
the introduction of its new and innovative way
to purchase gift certificates which can be used
like cash in “al Fogolar Restaurant” and La
Saletta. These ‘convenience’ cards have been
introduced to replace the gift certificates, previously available at the Famee Furlane for use
at al Fogolar and now have the added feature of
also being redeemable in the members room “La Saletta’. The attractive prepaid cards
allow the freedom to be purchased in amounts of your choosing, whether for personal use
or as gifts for family, friends and colleagues. The wallet-sized cards are convenient to
carry, are reloadable, and have no expiration date.
Indicate your support for the Famee Furlane with the purchase and use of these cards,
available at any time during normal business hours.
FRIULI F.C.
“A NEW SEASON IS COMING AND SO IS
THE BEAUTIFUL GAME”
A renewed spring season is close at hand. It is also time for a new
soccer season in our part of the world.
As the world is preparing for an exciting 2010 World Cup this June,
we also embark on new seasons for Toronto F.C. and more importantly our beloved Friuli F.C.
Management is looking to bring in new players to rejuvenate the
team and allow for a continued existence not only for this season
but for seasons to come. If you are a player or know of players who
would like to take a shot at representing Friuli F.C., please contact
Renzo at [email protected]. Interested players should make
themselves known by April 15th, 2010.

Friuli Terrace is an apartment
complex for independent seniors.
Friuli Terrace tenants help their community close to
home and much further away. The help is provided in
many ways. They pack food, clothes and laundry soap to
give to the Consolata Mission, which distributes the
items. Warm pyjamas were sent to families in Abruzzi,
many of whom are still in need after the earthquake.
Knitted scarves and hats were happily provided to local
schools. Funds raised by tenants purchased items for two
large diaper bags, filled with necessities for babies and
donated to a local church to help unwed mothers. Over
Christmas, tenants donated some 75 toys to Toy
Mountain.
Congratulations to Friuli Centre tenants for recognizing
the spirit of Christmas and doing a lot to help others.
This year, tables were needed outside the Activities Room for books, tapes
and puzzles.
1. These boxes are ready to be shipped to the
Philippines. They are full of clothes and food and will
help needy families.
2. On January 5, tenants Renato and Bruna Sisti celebrated
their 55th wedding anniversary. They have been tenants
for over ten years.
3. Tenants said goodbye to Baldassare Adamo, who left
Friuli Terrace after 20 years to live with his family.
Baldassare was a tailor and his skills were put to good
use, cutting the lovely fabric that tenants sewed into
placemats, runners and bags that were then sold at the
Christmas Bazaar. He also volunteered at countless
Terrace functions over the years. Tenants gave him a citation
at the Christmas Party. Sig. Adamo will be missed.
Two volunteer sales girls show off some of the pretty and interesting decorations.

memories for our seniors.
On Sunday, February 14th
Elvis Presley himself was in
the building sharing the
love at Villa Leonardo
Gambin's Valentines Day
celebration. With chocolates and cake and dolce
alike, how could anyone
resist the sweet sounds of
Gino
