Detective Michael Mongelli
I hope that everyone enjoyed Christmas and New Years. 2023 is here and we expect it will be another successful year! 2022 was a very successful year, and our membership has been as stong as ever. We had a great turnout for the Columbus Day parade, as it always is with a sea of blue with all my brothers and sisters marching with that Italian pride. Our annual cigar event turnout was amazing, and it is always a pleasure to see everyone gather together for a smoke. Vetro’s did a great job...an evening enjoyed by all. A little rain never hurt anyone, as we opened and closed the rooftop. Our 2nd annual hockey game where the Islanders beat the Rangers was much fun. It was outstanding to see our members cheer for their favorite team, while enjoying the company of their family and friends. As we get ready for the cold weather ahead of us, I pray that all of you are safe on the job, and of course, stay nice and warm with your families as we hope for a quick spring to return. I would like to thank the entire 2022 Columbia Board for all their hard work to make 2022 a very successful one as we always do. The New Year is here and we still have plenty of work to do for our membership and it’s supporters. I want to especially thank our President Anthony Burgio for a job well done. Looking forward to a 2023 to be filled with health and prosperity for our members and their families. If anyone needs anything, please reach out to myself or any Columbia board officer.
