Raffle:
Much to his surprise, the first ticket drawn was in the hands of ont of the G.S.E. team members, Giampalo Bisanti. He tried his best, but was not successful in picking the winning card, and picked another ticket which was also his. Still no luck picking the card, but it was a lot of fun.

Program:
Today we had the GSE team from District 2040 in for visit. Luciano Airoldi the group's team leader gave us the low down on the Milan area. Maria Bergimo, a banker and Giampaolo Bisanti, a conductor and quite a character joined us and let us in on their worlds. Two of the team members, Michèle Lavagna and Mattia Busnach Ravenna, were at institutions related to their vocations.
Giampaolo Bisanti, Peter McAlister, Maria Bergimo, Luciano Airoldi and Ted Van Nahl
