POSTMASTER: Send address changes to Southern Ulster Times, 300 Stony Brook Court, Newburgh, NY 12550 Attendees of the St. Joseph’s Day Dinner filled St. Mary’s Parish Hall on Saturday eagerly awaited a gourmet meal prepared and served by members of the local Marlborough chapter of UNICO. Continued from page 1 The UNICO National website states that the organization was founded in 1922 in Waterbury, Connecticut as a way to “unite all Italian Americans and motivate them to become more civic minded. In order to accomplish this, members would have to understand that they would have to make sacrifices, not for personal gain, but for service to others. In the ensuing years UNICO became an acronym that stood for Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, and Opportunity.” Joseph Pezavento was a founding member of the Marlborough chapter. He said in 1988 Carmine Cavoli invited a handful of local residents to a meeting at his shop, Carmine’s Kitchen, at what is now the Falcon Music Club. “He sent personal invitations out. We had chairs all sitting in a circle like a seance. He said we’re going to start a club in Marlboro called UNICO and explained what it was,” Pezavento recalled. “He went around the room and pointed to people and gave them all a job. He pointed to Danny Martuscello and said you’re Lea and Frank LaLusa are the proud grandparents of 9 month old Colton Damiano.
