Dear Infernals:
In am sending you the attached notice and invitation in an official capacity. The Library System will be recognizing, not one but two of our 1968 ILS Graduates at our annual, Library Foundation Fundraising event on Friday, January 23rd at the newly-built and opened Pinecrest Branch Library. Both Georgie and Frank Angones will be recognized as “Library Champions.”
During the past 18 years, Georgie has worked with me in several capacities. First, as a member of the Library Advisory Board, and secondly, as a member of the Board of the Friends of the Library. Most recently, she has served on the Library Foundation Board. Unlike I, who shamelessly collect a generous check on a bi-weekly basis for my dubious labor, Georgie has performed her work for the Library in an exemplary manner for more than two decades, and on a strictly volunteer basis. Frank gets the award for putting up with Georgie’s obsessive love of libraries.
During the evening, celebrity Chefs from the area’s best restaurants such as Nobu, Ortanique, Talula, Pacific Time, Brosia, Cacao,Wish and Por Fin will be on hand serving their favorite dishes to satisfy all of your taste buds . I also just booked my good buddy, Grammy-award winning saxophonist, Carlos Averhoff and his Quartet to help us dance the night away. Finally, we have several of Georgie’s favorite authors who will be making personal appearances such as Carolina Garcia Aguilera, Fabiola Santiago, Rodrigo de la Luz, Anjanette Delgado and James Grippando.
Please note that $75 of the $100 ticket price is fully tax deductible as the funds go toward children’s programming at all of our libraries. Let’s make this night another mini ILS Reunion and help celebrate the accomplishments and dedication to our community work by two of our fellow graduates.
Abrazos to all and hope you can join us.
Bill (Beast aaarrrggghhh!!!)

By the way, ladies and gents of ILS...Frank has the distinction of having his bio featured in Wikipedia - so now the truth is out! Read it here: Frank Angones - Wikipedia
40-41 years ago, he was already practicing his future leadership skills, ably supported by his classmates in the Student Council...
Signum '68 - Immaculata - La Salle High School
The image source, for those with a compelling need to know, comes from the University of Miami Law Center website. Hopefully, by shamelessly borrowing same, your Blundering Bloggin' editor won't be accused of taking the law into his own hands...
Spouse Georgina Angones, formerly Alfonsin during her Immaculata days, also has her share of honors and accomplishments to take pride in, which her friends and classmates celebrate - another grad from our school done good! Except Georgina is Class of '69 - but the Class of '68 is happy to adopt her as one of our own.
Georgina Alfonsin - Junior Class - Signum '68

Come January, we - their friends and classmates - get the opportunity to "slap 'em in the back" for their achievements, and reflect on the role Immaculata - La Salle played in steering them the right way in the Road of Life. The writer is confident he speaks for many in our very special group, simply stating: "We're proud of you both - well done! Thank you for your good work, for the benefit of so many!"
So take up the invitation, if you please; additional details will be forthcoming.
