2010 is the year of the Congresso hosted by Fogolars Federation of Canada. In Septemberall the Fogolars and Fameis of Canada are invited to assemble for three days to rejuvenate thespirit of “furlanitat” and unity. The hosting Fogolar this year is the Fogolar Furlan of Windsorand the Congresso will be taking place from September 3rd to the 6th. The organizing of theCongresso is a combined effort between the hosting Fogolar and the Fogolar Federation ofCanada. The Famee Furlane Toronto is a vital member of the Federation and as such, our roleis important not only in having a voice but also in supporting the initiatives the Federation proposesto its family of Fogolars Canada wide. The Congresso is one of the Federation’s major projectsand we as a Fogolar should strongly show our support.

I have fond memories of the first Federation Congresso held in Ottawa where I participated inpart as a member of the Santa Cecilia Choir. The founders of the Congresso, Rino Pellegrinaand Father Ermanno Bulfon were the driving force of the organizing committee. As the sayinggoes "a lot of water has passed under the bridge since..........." but our commitment to promotethe bond amongst its members and preserve our cultural heritage remains.

I ask you to make the effort to participate in the Windsor Congresso, dubbed “Fogolars 2010”. It will be a chance to meetFurlans from across Canada, to better understand the workings of the Congresso and appreciate the dedication and hardwork of the Windsor organizing committee. Planned activities for this year’s Congresso include presentations, culturalevents, entertainment, mass and the gala dinner.

Looking forward to seeing you there...........MandiLuigi GambinPresident, Famee Furlane Toronto

President’s Message - Summer 2010

Residents First and Public Reporting InitiativesResidents First is a quality initiative that is provincial in scope. The initiative is beingimplemented in partnership with Ontario’s Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs), theOntario Health Quality Council (OHQC), and sector associations such as OANHSS,OLTCA, Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils and the Ontario Family CouncilProgram, all of whom strive for quality care for residents living within long term care. Itis being implemented over a five year period, beginning in 2010, within four regions ofthe province: Central East, Hamilton Niagara Haldiman Brant, Mississauga Halton andNorth West. The initiative is also being extended to homes such as Villa LeonardoGambin that participated in an existing collaborative with the MOHLTC and OntarioHealth Quality Council, (the Pressure Ulcer Awareness Program [PUAP]).

The expected outcomes for the initiative are:• Improved resident experiences and staff satisfaction• Reduced Emergency Department Transfers• Reduced adverse events and improved clinical outcomes• Elimination of waste and improved efficiency• Facilitation of the ability of staff to “take back” time that they can then spend providing more direct care to residents

Villa Leonardo Gambin has volunteered to partner in the Resident First program and has chosen to focus onthe pressure ulcer prevention program to sustain best practice that has been implemented through our firstyear of the Pressure Ulcer Awareness Initiative. The home is striving to ensure our residents are monitored andreceive timely interventions to reduce their risk of developing pressure ulcers.

Through the Residents’ First initiative, training is provided to the leaders within the home to help them buildon proven and recognized leadership skills. The enhancement of these skills will help ensure quality practiceswithin the home, will increase staff familiarity with performance measurement tools that can be used to evaluateimprove and report on processes used within the home, ensure enhanced accountability, as well as enhancingboth leadership and resident and family commitment to quality care.

The home has also volunteered to be part of another program imitative, Public Reporting, sponsored by theOntario Health Quality Council. Currently seventy homes across the province are involved in this program. Thepublic website provides information on key areas where long term care homes are measuring quality. The mainpurpose of this site is to encourage residents, families and staff in the homes to discuss information togetherand work cooperatively on ideas to improve quality. There are currently four indicators being tracked including:falls; pressure ulcers; and worsening bladder function. We are very pleased with results which currently demonstratethat we are above the provincial average in all areas. For more information please visit the website ashttp://www.ohqc.ca/en/index.php.

FOUR SEASONS THEME NIGHT SERIES$55 PRIX FIXE FOUR COURSE DINNER

Theme Nights Return to the al Fogolâr RestaurantAfter a short sabbatical, theme nights at the al Fogolar Restaurant made a muchanticipated return this past April 30th. Being somewhat more bold and adventurousthan past offerings, the restaurant has developed a theme night series based on thefour seasons of the year. This has provided Chef Boris Rubstov and Chef DylanCaswell, al Fogolar chefs for the past five years, a unique stage that highlightsingredients that are “in season” and also emphasises culinary styles and influencesfrom around the globe and not just from the cradle of gastronomic excellence, Italia.

Questo era il tema di una serata che doveva sì essere dedicata, con tutto rispettoal cerimoniale per celebrare una data così importante per la friulanità universale,difatti la riccorrenza del 3 aprile dovrebbe essere festeggiata da tutti i Friulani,“di chà e di là da ‘l aghe” quella grande per intenderci, perchè il famoso editto,conferito dall’ Imperatore Enrico IV al Patriarca Segeardo d’Acquileia, dava ilpotere temporale alla piccola patria il Friuli.

Il presidente della Federazione dei Fogolars Ivano Cargnello era stoto moltoesplicito in una sua cercolare, dove invitava tutti gli associati, fogolars/famèes acelebrare tale riccorrenza, anche con un incentivo finanziario. Alla Famèe daanni ormai la cerimonia viene regolarmente a fare parte dei programmi culturali,quindi non è un caso che il salone Friuli della Famèe era addobbato come perle grandi occasioni, con bandiere del Friuli, cartelli che indicavano i nomi dimolti paesi della regione e quelli storicamente i più imprtanti come Aquileja,Cividale, e naturalmente delle tre province Udine, Pordenone, Gorizia.

Ma doveva essere anche una serata di allegria, di festa paesana, e per farcidivertire ci hanno pensato i TRIGEMINUS, ma prima dello spettacolo, l’attriceMara Bergamasco ha portato il saluto del presidente della provincia di UdineFontanini, e dell’Ente Friuli nel Mondo, poi assieme al fratello Bruno e al tecnicoStefano, hanno messo in scena una sequenza di scenette di attualitàdivertentissime, con grande professionalità e bravura artistica, tanto da mandarele oltre trecento persone in sala, a dir poco in visibilio.

Ospiti di riguardo, che pubblicamente quì ringraziamo e salutiamo con grandesimpatia, il Fogolar Furlan di London con la presidente Renata Buna con lasegretaria, anche della Federazione, Gianna Jus che in pulman sono venuti allaconcelebrazione, e naturalmente allo anche allo spettacolo.

La Cerimonia della terra,dello spadone, e la letturadell’Editto con la consegnadel certificato di BonFurlan, quest’anno l’icaricoe stato affidato a GianniCeschia che ha ufficiato iltutto in costume d’epocaconsegnado i sudetti certifi-cati a due meritatissimepersone, alla SignoraRenza Ricetto e al SignorArrigo Rossi, a loro vanno inostri complimenti.

In occasione della serata, ilcomitato della FamèeFurlane aveva deciso diconsegnare ai presidenit diistituzioni e dei vari Clubsregionali locali, un riconoscimento con la seguente motivazione: “ InRiconoscenza del loro Supporto e Partecipazione” alla premiazione il sudettocomitato era ben rappresentato dai vice presidenti, Clara Astolfo e MarioBomben, da Mary Lovisa Cultural Comete, e George Rodaro Membership. Afare gli onori di casa, la vice presidente Ivana Pontisso che al microfano, primadi fare la presentazione ha portato il saluto del presidente Luigi Gambin.
