June 11 th saw Liza O'Connor and her "Merrie Band" of Texans arrive in Italy for their Pre Ireland Funds Conference adventure. The highlight of their three days in Rome was the reception arranged by Marjorie Muldowney, AIF Regional Director San Francisco and given by the Irish Ambassador to Rome Frank Cogan and his lovely wife Pauline.

Cortona was all that was promised and they lazed, shopped, and sampled all its delights Under the Tuscan Sun. Who will ever forget the day in Florence and the magical moments not to mention the wine and gourmet dining in the hillside Vineyards. Lou Ann Corboy won the best shopper award, Mary Ann Perryman the best sport award, and Giancarlo was voted the most courtly.

All were sad to say Arriverdci Italia.
