THANKSGIVING DINNER - THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL FAMILY MEALS

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 20:06:21 -0600

This is my 40^th year of celebrating Thanksgiving with my family in the United States. It started after I got married to an American and I had Thanksgiving dinner with his mother and my brother who got a free turkey from his office. Since my brother was a bachelor, he gave me the turkey to cook. We lived in New York City at that time. From that small beginning, my family grew. My other brother came from abroad, then my younger brother followed him. Then they all got married and have their children.

For the first 30 years, I cooked the Thanksgiving dinner and we had it at my home. The first year, we had it at my apartment on E. 86^th St. in New York. Then we moved to Long Island the following year. My brother would meet my husband at Penn Station and handed him the turkey on Tuesday and then I cooked it on Thursday. We had this ritual for at least ten years until he changed jobs and the free turkey stopped. Then I started buying the turkey myself. Our family slowly got bigger and the turkey got bigger every year.

When we bought our home 30 years ago, we had a small dining room and as the family grew in numbers, we were able to squeeze twelve people comfortably in the dining room. At some point, we devised a makeshift dining table out of the coffee table in the living room for the kids. After that year, we decided to change the layout of the house, made the dining room bigger and the living room smaller. When the kids were small, we had phone books stacked on their chairs so they could reach the table and ate with us. As the family grew, we used two tables and a card table joined together to form a long banquet table. Luckily I had this huge white tablecloth that I inherited from my in-laws. My husband told me his grandmother had sit-down dinner for 28 people. We had 23 people the last time I did thanksgiving dinner. Once they got seated, nobody moved till after dessert. I sat near the kitchen door so I would be able to get up if we needed something.

I hosted thanksgiving dinner for 30 years until one of my brothers got very sick and could not drive anymore so we started going to my other brother's house in New Jersey for thanksgiving. Twice, we went to California to be with my sons who moved there eight years ago. Now that my stepdaughter has her own family, we sometimes go to her place for thanksgiving. Today, we went to Connecticut to my stepdaughter's house.

While the thanksgiving dinner was at my home, it took a whole week of preparation to get everything done and ready - cleaned the house, got out all the china, glasses and silverware, white tablecloths and white napkins pressed and all the food cooked. It was hard work lovingly attended and done to almost perfection for my family. The menu was the same every year and everyone raved about it especially the chestnut stuffing.

We ate, laughed, and talked all at the same time. My stepdaughter used to bring her boyfriend and we always made a bet if he would be back the following year. The one who did, she married. Nobody could take in our boisterous family. We had so much fun. We have accumulated lots of memories all the years. My family and my brothers' family had a terrific time together. We always look forward to this get together.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY - A BLESSING FOR THE THANKSGIVING MEAL

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:50:45 -0600

I came across this prayer while cleaning up my files of papers from years past. I would like to share it with everyone. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

A BLESSING FOR THE THANKSGIVING MEAL

Bountiful God,

You have blessed us in many ways,

In the beauty and richness of our land,

And in the freedom we enjoy.

You have given us even greater gifts

In our family who loves and cares for us

And in the grace which allows us to know and believe in you.

May we be grateful for all our blessings

Not just today, but every day.

Help us to turn our gratitude into action

By caring for those in need

And by working for a more just society.

Bless the wonderful meal we will enjoy today and

the merriment of those at table.

Be with all those we love who are not with us at this time.

We thank you Lord now and forever. Amen.

HOMES FOR SALE IN OYSTER BAY COVE - OCTOBER 22, 2009

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:00:25 -0500

There are 55 homes for sale in Oyster Bay Cove, NY as of Oct. 22, 2009. One of them is owned by football player, Vinny Testaverde. It was originally marketed for $5,400,000 and now reduced to $3,400,000. With the economy the way it is, you can get a house on a small lot with an Oyster Bay Cove address for $895,000. The most expensive home in Oyster Bay Cove is listed at $4,995,000. Last year, a French Normandy Style Manor House called "Northwood" on 26 plus acres property sold for $17,500,000.

Oyster Bay Cove, New York, an incorporated village next to Oyster Bay, is the most beautiful place on the North Shore of Long Island. Most homes in Oyster Bay Cove are on two acres lot with plenty of mature trees so if you want your privacy, Oyster Bay Cove is the place to be. Oyster Bay Cove lies east of Oyster Bay and East Norwich, north of Syosset, and west of Laurel Hollow. Only small areas of Oyster Bay Cove - Steamboat Landing, Landing Rd, part of Cove Woods Rd and part of Cove Rd. have waterfront properties. Youngs Memorial Cemetery where Theodore Roosevelt's Grave is located and Nature Preserve are all located in Oyster Bay Cove. Because of the geographic location, children of the residents of Oyster Bay Cove go to three different school districts - Oyster Bay-East Norwich, Syosset or Cold Spring Harbor.

The late Oleg Cassini, the fashion designer for Jacqueline Kennedy had a big place in Oyster Bay Cove. Oyster Bay Cove is so different from the Hamptons because you can keep your privacy here. Mort Kunstler, the world famous Civil War painter, live in Oyster Bay Cove. The Schiff family owns huge property on Sandy Hill Rd opposite the Cassini's property. The Schiff family is probably one of the early settlers in the area with a vast land holding that over the years have been subdivided.

Oyster Bay Cove, New York does not have the glitz and glamour of the Hamptons and people don't gawk at celebrity here. Most celebrity who settle here are down to earth people who want to lead a quiet life although they are very involved in the community. They give a lot to the community through the various charities. George & Abby (Rockefeller) O'Neill have an annual fundraising event for Community Foundation which largely supported the Youth and Family Counseling Agency.

OYSTER FESTIVAL IN OYSTER BAY, NY THIS WEEKEND - OCT. 17-18, 2009

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:11:22 -0500

Oyster Bay, NY is the place to be this weekend - Oct. 17-18, 2009 for the 26^th annual Oyster Festival. It is the largest waterfront festival on the East Coast. It opens at 11:00 AM and ends at 6:00 PM.

There will be plenty to eat at the food court, rides for the kids, petting zoo, oyster eating contest, raffles, arts & crafts and food galore. There will be a pirate section for kids with demonstrations and interactive treasure hunt. The main attraction this weekend is the oysters. Enjoy them fried, in stew or just cold on a half shell with a squirt of lemon and dash of hot sauce. The oysters being featured come from the Oyster Bay Harbor, delivered fresh courtesy of Dave Relyea and the Frank M. Flower and Sons, Inc. Oyster Company

In addition to oysters and other seafood, there are choices of hamburgers, funnel cakes and fried Oreos. They also have bratwurst, tacos, gyros, potato, steak sandwiches, homemade sausage and peppers, potato pancakes, zeppolis, and even knishes. The Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce will host an Elias Pekale antique show on Audrey Avenue. There will be a 5K run at 9:00 AM on Saturday. An oyster eating and shucking contest will be on Saturday at 2 PM on the Verizon West End Avenue Stage. Come see if Oyster Shucking champion Dave Menahan of Long Beach will retain his title for the tenth time.

The Oyster Festival is bringing a truly beautiful tall ship Clipper City and a local hard-working tugboat Cornell, constructed in the Jacobson shipyard in Oyster Bay 50 years ago, for viewing at the Western Waterfront. U.S.S. Growler and U.S.S. Liberator from the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point will also be here.

Christeen, the oldest oyster sloop in America originally built in 1883 will also grace the festival.

Optimum, the Ultimate Air Dogs and the United Kennel Club bring a collection of some of the country's most impressive dock-diving canines. Dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds will amaze crowds as they compete against each other taking leaps off a 40-foot dock and pool in "Ultimate Air" mixing long-distance diving with rounds of competition called "Splashes." Also, check out "Fetch It" - A combination both height and distance. Measures how far a dog can jump while grabbing a bumper suspended 4' above the water and ‘Catch-It'. Free. Location: Theodore Roosevelt Park

Revenues from the festival will help over two dozen non-profit organizations in Oyster Bay. The Oyster Festival is organized and operated by the Oyster Bay Rotary Club.

Oyster Bay residents are gearing up for a deluge of people this weekend WEATHER PERMITTING. If the weather cooperates, there is a chance we can get as much as 200,000 people in the two days (Saturday & Sunday) of the Oyster Festival. The Oyster Festival has grown so big that it has been relocated to a bigger space by the beach few years ago. It used to be in town but the town could not really pack so many people downtown. By two o'clock, you could barely move, it was so crowded. When they moved it to the waterfront, the Oyster Festival got bigger with more food stalls and the arts & crafts section doubled and now includes rides and entertainment for kids.

You can either come by car, by LIRR or by sea. The Sagamore Yacht Club, a short walk to the park offers moorings/anchorage. Call 516-922-0555. For parking, there are designated parking areas throughout the town. Free parking and free shuttle bus service are available. There is also an expanded LIRR schedule to Oyster Bay with special excursion fare from Penn Station and Jamaica. No pets are allowed in Theodore Roosevelt Park. This is also a non- alcohol event although restaurants in town sells beer in their premises. So come on over and enjoy our festival. Nothing like it in Long Island.

LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE CATHOLIC DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAS CELEBRATED 90-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:01:57 -0500

Last Sunday, I took a break from real estate to be with 50 or so members of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, Court Sacred Heart #370 to celebrate our 90-year anniversary. We started the day with a mass at St. Dominic Church in Oyster Bay, NY with the choir singing. The officers in their official robes joined the procession. The Rev. Msgr. James Collins Memorial Choir sang glorious music. I sang with the Choir and then joined the CDA members later for lunch at Epiphany Restaurant in Glen Cove, NY.

The lunch was organized by all the living past regents (presidents) of which I was one of them. We had a display of 4 collages of events over the years. I did research on the history of the CDA organization since the inception of the national organization and our own installation in 1919.

Background

The Knight of Columbus finding a need for a national organization for women, decided to institute courts of up to 50 charter members, mostly wives, sweethearts and friends of the Knights. The National Order of the Daughters of Isabella with John E. Carberry as the First Supreme Regent started in 1903 in Utica, New York. It was not until 1915 that Mary McKernan served as the first woman supreme regent.

Sixteen years later, Court Sacred Heart #370 was chartered on June 1, 1919 with 35 charter members and Helene Mahon Horan was the First Grand Regent. We started our Court when Genevieve Walsh was the Supreme Regent.

The Daughters of Isabella held eight Biennial Conventions before official action was taken to change the organization's name from the National Order of the Daughters of Isabella to the Catholic Daughters of America. This decision came on April 9, 1921 at the Ninth Biennial Convention.

On the 75^th anniversary of Catholic Daughters of America in 1978, at the convention in New York City, the delegates voted to change the name Catholic Daughters of America to The Catholic Daughters of the Americas and in June 1979, by decree of the Supreme Court of the State of New York this title became official.

The Catholic Daughters of the Americas has 95,000 members in more than 1,400 courts (local chapters) in 45 states across the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Guam, and the Virgin Islands engaged in Spiritual and Social action programs in every area of society.

Membership and Dues

In the ‘40s, growth in membership had slowed down. As a matter of fact, it was going down and hit a record low of 31 members in 1952. Then it started flourishing again when Catherine Johnson was the regent. Membership really gained momentum in the late 50's when Lily Conklin was the Regent. Membership was 89 when she started and hit 156 before she left the office. The next regent was Jane Donnelly and she took in 28 members. Then Ann Bifulco came when we hit the highest of 208 in 1960.

In 1919 there was an initiation fee of $2 to join. Our dues in 1919 was $.50 per quarter but was raised to $1.00 per quarter the following year and it continued at the same rate till 1969 when it was raised to $5. In 1994 during our 75^th year, our dues were $15.00. Our dues of $25 now are really small compared to dues of $4.00 in 1919.

Office and Password

At the National Biennial Convention held in 1966, the title Supreme Regent was changed to National Regent and Grand Regent changed to Regent.

In the early years, there was also an office called the monitor who was in charge of the flag and banner at all meetings and ceremonies. This was eliminated in the 80's. The office of the Second Vice Regent was also eliminated.

There was a time too when ceremonials were very strict on attire. We used to wear cap with the robe and white gloves and white shoes. Jewelry was forbidden. No earrings were allowed. Little by little, rules were eased off. Out went the cap, then the white gloves. Small earrings like pearl studs were allowed but no dangling earrings.

Meetings

During the early days, no one is admitted to the meeting room while there was a speaker on the floor. In those days you were also issued a password and nobody was allowed to the convention hall or meeting without it and the monitor collected them before the meeting.

CDA in Washington, DC.

When the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was built in Washington, D.C. the Catholic Daughters donated the five altars behind the main altar at a cost of $250,000.

In 1974 the Catholic Daughters, in commemoration of the upcoming Bicentennial of the Nation in 1976 decided to endow a Chair in "American Catholic Church History" at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.

In 1986 we helped again in the CDA pledge of $500,000 made to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference to assist the Bishops with their relocation project in Washington, D.C.

Circle of Love Program

In 1996 at the convention in Tampa, Florida, we adopted the "The Circle of Love" Program. It is a seven-point program that will assist members in working with the Church and community to address the needs of society that are deeply affecting today's generation, the seniors and human life. The general goals are to develop leaders from the membership, improve spiritual enhancement of members and friends, improve the quality of life issues by helping to prevent domestic violence, child abuse and addictions.

CDA Projects

Throughout the years, we have supported these national projects:

Catholic Relief Services, Covenant House, Apostleship of the Sea and Disaster Assistance

Missionaries of Charity (Mother Theresa's community), Father Peyton, Health and Life

SOAR - Support Our Aging Religious, Scholarship for Teachers of Exceptional Children

North American College -$1 per member

On the local level, we have given time and money to charitable causes:

Community Social Action Council (CSAC) T hanksgiving food drive

Interreligious & Human Needs Council Toy Drive

Celia's pantry - food and hygiene items, St. Rocco's Festival

St. Dominic High school award, Oyster Bay High School award

There are other charitable causes that we contributed over the years:

Catholic Charities, Maryknoll Sisters, Trinity Missions, Holy Cross Mission - Fr. Jim Rahilly

St. Dominic Centennial Celebration - We contributed to the New Walk for Chapel's 100^th anniversary when a call to refurbish a walkway between rectory and the chapel was announced.

Birthright - Momma's House - For several years, we held Baby Shower for Birthright in April.

March for Life which Terri Walston and some ladies went in Washington, DC and on Route 110, Melville, NY., Scott bar codes - The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island

Morality in Media - In 1992, the national board unanimously approved the WRAP Program - White Ribbons Against Pornography. In 1995 we joined the fight against pornography in late October. That year, we distributed 800 flyers and 1000 white ribbons.

Priest Appreciation Day - the first Sunday in June was designated by CDA to honor priests for their faithful support of the CDA in addition to their many other duties.

Fundraising Activities

In the ‘70s and ‘80s, we used to have Fashion Shows with our members doing the modeling.

At some point, we also had Spaghetti Dinner where members did all the cooking.

No catholic organization can do without Bingo and we had Bingo Nights years ago and were very popular. We also had Chinese Auction in the ‘90s.

Father's Day Bake Sale has been a tradition for years. In '97, we introduced the Super Bowl Bake Sale. It was an instant success so we decided to stay with it.

We had Ice Cream Social at Rosalinda Morgan's Rose Garden for ten years.

The Tea Party was introduced in 2005 and today it is the most successful fundraiser ever.
