President's Message

July 2025

Dear UConn League Friends,

I hope you are all enjoying this mid-summer time (although a bit cooler would be nice!). I know that many of you have been traveling throughout the country and the world and also attending our interest groups.

Our women’s wine tasting group met recently this month and eight of us had a wonderful time sampling Spanish wines with delicious appetizers. The Italy travel group (Italian Senoras!) was absolutely wonderful. We stayed in the town of Lerici on the Ligurian Sea and visited Portovenere and all of Cinque Terre by ferry. The food was amazing, of course, as was the weather and the water. The group bonded well and lasting friendships made. We even went to a pesto cooking class on Manarola! Marie Mitchell went home to make her own pesto and bought a beautiful mortar and pestle.

I am so pleased to be your new League president and am thankful for the guidance of Stephanie and my meetings with her. I look forward to meeting you soon and let me know if I can help in any way throughout the summer.

In friendship,
Debbie Pallatto
UConn League President
