I wish to express my thanks and appreciation to the greater Rockford Italian American Association for hosting the Hall of Fame banquet last Saturday and the special induction they gave me

6 yrs ago today I had the honor of coaching the Boylan lady Titans to a NIC 10 conference championship at 16-0 and a regular season record of 28-0. Featuring Peyton Kennedy, who now is a star at St. Louis University, and Lily Esparza now is senior at Boylan and an MVP in NIC10

If you haven’t seen my TO TELL THE TRUTH post on Facebook, I hope you’ll take the opportunity. It gives the truth on why I was released from my coaching position had nothing to do with basketball in my opinion.

This year I get to spend Christmas with my grandkids making gingerbread houses ♥️

I know several business owners who treat their employees with dignity, respect and are always honest with them. Schools that choose to follow a business model should remember it’s just not about making money. The core values of their foundation must not be compromised🙏🏼

Thank you Panino’s for hosting our lunch today. The Savitski brothers are true friends of our Red Ribbon Program🍕🍕🍕

As we end Red Ribbon Week, let’s promise to be the “I” in kind throughout the year. Thank you Miss Wisconsin, and Miss Illinois for visiting our community and making an impact on our children.

Next week the red ribbon program will welcome Miss Illinois and Miss Wisconsin to our city. They will be visiting schools letting our children know that words have power. They can either tear people apart or build them up. We will also stress the need to BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER!

The red ribbon program is pleased to announce that both Rockford Christian schools and Rock cut elementary school will be hosting an appearance of Miss Illinois and Miss Wisconsin. The program will focus on the power of words and the need to BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER.
