Winds! Rain! Rainbow!!!

Aleethia Foundation wishes to thank the Lido Civic Club of Washington DC & Knights of Columbus Rock Creek Council #2797 for hosting the August 18th “Friday Night Dinner” at Rock Creek Mansion.

Over 57 wounded/injured/ill service members, family members and guests enjoyed a delicious all American BBQ buffet. We especially would like to thank Lido Club Members Jerry Truman, Charlie Russo, Piero Marinucci, Tony Morella & Former Congresswoman Connie Morella, Frank Trimboli, Nick Maselis, Lorry Clavelli, his grandson and daughter who engaged in conversation and fellowship with each and every service member throughout the evening. Once the rain stopped several adults enjoyed the outside patio area and the children especially enjoyed running around on the expansive lawn.

Thanks again to the Lido Civic Club of DC and the Knights of Columbus Rock Creek Council and others for making this dinner a special and memorable evening!

A special note from Lido Club Member Lorry Clavelli’s daughter Regina who attended Friday’s dinner with her son Ryan …

“Volunteering at the wounded warriors’ dinner. Amazing experience for Ryan and I to be around these men and women and their families. Hearing their stories and seeing their strength in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. Walked out to see this beautiful rainbow after the rain which seemed kind of fitting after tonight's event.”
