The Executive Committee of the Circolo Italiano di Boston wants to thank everybody who made a donation for the victims of the earthquake in L'Aquila, last April 2009. We want to let you know that we proceeded to make a donation toward the Language Laboratory of the Istituto Superiore Liceo Domenico Cotugno, in L'Aquila. Their building was severely damaged and they had to relocate into a new -- empty -- building. Thank you again for your generous gift.
