Some local laughs are being used to
bring a big-time helping hand to students
at Christ the King High School.
The Middle Village school got a visit
from the local Italian-American club
Associazione Culturale Italiana Di New
York recently. The organization gave
them the proceeds from a recent local
comedy show to benefit art scholarships
for students, totaling $5,500.
The money will go toward the
Constance DelVecchio Maltese Art
Scholarship, which celebrates the late
wife of Serphin R. Maltese, the chairman
of the board of trustees at Christ
the King. Constance Maltese was an
artist who was eventually knighted by
the Republic of Italy and further honored
for her works of art and achievements,
which went toward enhancing
Italian-American heritage and experience.
Christ the King Principal Geri
Martinez, President Michael Michel
and Board of Trustees Chairman
Serphin R. Maltese attended the presentation
with Associazione Culturale
Italiana Di New York Chairman Tony
DiPiazza and board members Frank
DiPiazza, Joe Natasi, Maurizio Troia
and Tony Mule.
“On behalf of Christ the King High
School, I would like to thank Chairman
Tony DiPiazza and Associazione
Culturale Italiana Di New York for
their splendid efforts and generous
contribution to Christ the King’s students,
which will allow us to reward
our artistically gifted students,”
Maltese said.
