Letters from the President

Dear Members, The war in Ukraine physically and psychologically is destroying the lives of 7.5 million children. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) agency, more than 4 million Ukrainians had fled across the country’s borders since the February 24 invasion. In addition, there are millions of displaced families. But not everyone…

Dear Members, I’m writing this letter for our March Bulletin, and I feel entirely incapable of mentioning anything about events, entertainment and lunches… while bombs are dropping all over Ukraine. It is impossible to describe in words the feelings that Ukrainian people worldwide experience now. It’s surreal and unbelievable to process when you see killed…

Dear members, Here is the second edition of CIC’s bulletin – February’s issue. We started the club’s activities gradually in January. Thank you for attending the events – your participation and feedback are crucial for the board and the events team. We are pleased that Pizza cooking class was a blast! We will be glad…

Dear members, This time of the year we traditionally look back and reflect on the events of the past 12 months, though this year has had its challenges, it has also brought with it many pleasures! We are more grateful than ever for a community that has shown incredible resilience. We know that the future…

Dear members, Christmas and New Year are almost here. It seems like 2021 just began, and yet here we are, the final month of the year. There are still quite a few reasons for catching up before we start to enjoy the holidays with the family. I’m excited to announce that our event team prepared…

Dear members, I hope you enjoyed this excellent October, filled with warm sunny days and that you had a chance to attend some of the CIC’s events! We just have celebrated Halloween, and the Christmas season is coming very soon! Our event team is already busy with the planning of the club’s Christmas events. If…

Dear members, I want to share our delight and optimism for the CIC’s restart on behalf of the board! So many things have changed since our last Coffee Morning in 2020… Finally, we can meet again! During the first events that our team organised in September, we noticed a great thing – the incredible joy…

Dear members, It’s been a while since we last saw each other! Things that started like temporary obstacles became our new normality! In fact, I think in 50-years of the club’s activity, it has never been interrupted for so long! We have a great desire to restart the club, but as it stands, we still…

Dear members, I hope you are in good spirits and good health. In these unprecedented times, I wanted to provide you with an update on the Como International Club. Sadly, another club’s season has ended without the possibility to restart our activities. Still, we are full of optimism, and we hope we will reopen our…

Dear Members, Another club’s season is over. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for being the members of the Como International Club, for every experience shared friendship made, and the good times we had together. This season, due to COVID-19, we could not accomplish all our goals, and we would like to…

Dear members, At the end of February, when the first news of the coronavirus situation in Italy reached the CIC board, and we had to postpone our cooking pizza masterclass, it seemed so temporary and unreal… We absolutely could not imagine at that time the cancellation of all our March & April events and the…

February in Italy is a Carnival period. The tradition of a vast winter festival dates back to the 1100s. Till date, millions of people from all over the world are wearing costumes and coming to the feast! It is celebrated in many different ways, depending on the region. Traditionally Italian Carnival involves a parade, masks,…

Happy 2020! I wish you all a magical and beautiful new year! A new decade brings so many expectations, new challenges, and fresh starts.
The New Year also gives us another chance to improve ourselves and to open up to new opportunities. I wish for each one of us to have more time for friends and…

I love December. It’s a magical time of the year full of wrapping gifts in colourful paper, decorating Christmas trees, reuniting with family, last-minute shopping, and lots of festive cooking. Regardless of what holiday you celebrate, December brings out the best: the long-awaited meetings, fancy gifts, lovely dinners, candle lights, and long heartfelt conversations. Introducing…

Here we are, approaching the last month of autumn. November is a kind of balance between fall and winter. The summer is already a memory, and it is still early for Christmas fun. So for this month, we prepared various events balancing between culture, gastronomy, and of course, some workout! We start the month from…

Welcome to October, the month that ushers in the fall season in its full glory. It is also the best month to enjoy nature’s shades of orange, brown, red and yellow, cosy fall sweaters, Halloween treats and pumpkin-spiced cakes! This October, we offer several spectacular outdoor activities such as a visit to the Orticolario flower…
