The AONE Spring Kick-Off Meeting

Photos by RJ Horwitz and Dave Pratt

the two inches of snow the night before kept the number of Alfas that showed up for the Spring Kick-Off Meeting on March 25th down to around three, but it sure didn’t keep the number of Alfisti down, with a fine showing of 27 hungry brunchers—a record for our Papa Razzi get-togethers.

While we waited for the trattoria’s chefs to deliver their delicacies, we held the "business" portion of the meeting, led by club President Tom Lesko and club Counsel/Sparkplug Kevin Murphy. Mainly, we discussed the events we have planned for the year, and several of the event organizers (e.g. Myron Barnett—Tutto Italiano, Peter Walker—Berkshires Tour, Stacy Edinburg—SCCA Rally, Tom Lesko—South Shore Tour) rose to give us brief rundowns on what to expect. Soon, though, the food arrived and we degenerated into our more customary gluttony and ribaldry.

As is our wont, we enjoyed ourselves, dining and chatting until mid-afternoon before breaking up and heading for home. Our thanks go to Kevin Murphy, who set up the Kick-Off Meeting and made the arrangements with Papa Razzi. It was great to see all the familiar faces as well as some new ones—welcome! We hope to see a lot more of you at the events we hold throughout the year!Tiny Quadrifoglio
