January 23, 2008 - Welcome to the ladies.
As of January 1, 2008 the women became eligible to join the Modenese.  An intial mailing of 25 letters produced a response of 18 plus 9 more by word of mouth for a total of 27new women members. Coincidentally when the Modenese was started 102 years ago the number of men members was, you guessed it, 27.  The ladies will be formally initiated into the club on February 28. It will be a great day for the Modenese and there will be more to come. We welcome this first group and congratulate them for joining us.

Welcome to:
Nancy Vanni Carani (First woman to join)
