There being no program scheduled for the evening, two members volunteered to share bios.

Mauro Cappitella was born in 1934. He was raised in East Harlem by his parents. His father was a steel worker and his mother a seamstress. Growing up, he liked to play streetball - kids nowadays don't do that. He served in the Army. Mauro was an architect by trade, now he's the Godfather.

Ryan Cangialosi was born on August 23, 1987 at 2:44am, making him a Leo by 1 minute. His parents, Ron and Harriet have resided in Park Ridge since the late 1970s and he has one brother, Travis. He is graduated from Hofstra University with a BA in political science and from Pace University with an MPA in government. During his undergraduate tenure, he studied abroad in Sorrento, Italy for a summer. Ryan likes to stay active by staying in shape at the gym and playing basketball. He works in public affairs.
