Il Circolo Hosts Afternoon of Song and Dance

By Sally Valenti

Il Circolo Girls Dancing to New York, New York

Gloria Balta, 

Richard Frank 

and 

Sally Valenti

Il Circolo, the Italian Cultural Society of the Palm Beaches, hosted an afternoon of song and dancing at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Richard Frank, well-known entertainer, shared his memorabelia of pop tunes made famous by Italian icons such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, et al. With his wife, Ann, operating the technical equipment and sound system, he wowed the audience with song after song, energizing them to a feverish pitch. The song, "That’s Amore" had everyone chiming in, emphasizing the common Italian phrases of the tune.

When New York, New York was performed, he invited guests up on the stage to participate in the leg-kicking routine in time with the lively music. Among the dancers was 85 year old, Gloria Balta, who was New York City’s Ms. Senior America in 1990. She kept up with the younger participants, but her joyous expression and energy stood out.

Richard usually sings walking from group to group, in informal venues, but the stage set-up didn’t stop him. Several times, he left the stage and squeezed between the rows and aisles, resorting to his natural entertainment mode. Smiles, toe-tapping and swaying gave him encouragement to continue for almost two hours.

Thanks to Dot Nanna who chaired the event and to Betty Vecchio, Program Chair who discovered Richard.

Tippi's Pizzeria — Delizioso!

Photo & Story by Jimmy Shirley

A business profile

Tippi Redzepi

Tippi’s Pizzeria is an established business on Okeechobee Boulevard, across from Century Village. Tippi Redzepi, an immigrant from Albania, first moved to New Jersey more than 30 years ago, where he opened two pizza stores.

He moved his family to Florida in 1991 and opened a store at Belvedere Road and Georgia Avenue and ran it with his son, Reggie. Eleven years ago, they moved to their present location at 5778 Okeechobee Blvd. in West Palm Beach.

They offer a wide range of Italian-type foods, such as spaghetti, calzone, parmigiana, salads, hot and cold sandwiches and so on. This writer has sampled their meatball sandwiches, their Greek salads, and of course their pizza. It can honestly be said you won’t find better fare around.

The late Sam Koppleman, long time adv. salesman for the Condo News, was a frequent patron of Tippi’s. He used to use his quirky sense of humor on them when he would complain they had not properly arranged the beans in his soup, or that they had inadvertently placed the sauce under the cheese on his pizza.

Tippi’s Pizzeria is open Monday through Thursday from 11am to 11pm, Saturday from 11am to 12 midnight, and on Sunday from 12 noon to 10pm. They offer take-out, delivery, and limited sit down, and catering. Call them at (561) 681-9224 or just stop by the next time you want to eat Italian. And, please tell them you saw their ad in the Condo News.
