COMMUNICATIONSReminder: If any member has moved or has a new phone number, please notify Leo Zingale or President Cipriano of your new information. OLD BUSINESS San Leone Picture: After investigating the situation, President Cipriano suggested two options for the repair of the picture. Option #1 is we can remove the old tape holding the picture & frame and try to fix it ourselves. Option #2 is to have a professional company restore it using the original frame, with new glass and new sealing foam to insulate the picture, so it would last another 100 years. The cost would be around $300.00 Rosann Zingales made a motion to have it professionally restored and it was seconded by Donna Zinagale. The motion passed.
