Welcome
We welcome you to our 50th Annual Itoo Shish-Ka-Bob . . .
fifty years ago it was Louis Kouri’s vision to hold a
Shish-Ka-Bob each summer to help raise money for the
Itoo Society. He wanted to keep the spirit of the Itoo Club
alive year round by offering more than only the Itoo Supper
in November. Lou held weekly meetings for months upon
end while carefully planning and organizing every detail
of that inaugural Itoo Shish-Ka-Bob.
For fifty years members of the Itoo Society have continued
the tradition that Lou began in 1968, and we continue to
welcome the greater Peoria community to our “home” as
we celebrate our heritage and continue the tradition so
many of our relatives helped to set in motion.
Today we would like to extend our appreciation to all the
dedicated men, ladies, children, and friends of the Itoo
Society who generously gave of their time, help, and
encouragement in preparation for today’s celebration.
We are proud and thankful to have such a wonderful
group that has continued the Itoo Shish-Ka-Bob and
makes it the great tradition that it is.
We also thank all of the individuals and business
establishments who have advertised in this year’s
souvenir program. We highly recommend and appreciate
you patronizing our sponsors!
Sah-Thine (Eat Hearty and Enjoy!)

In loving memory
As we celebrate our 50th Annual Shish-Ka-Bob as an
Itoo Society, we remember all those who have come
before us and helped pave the way to bring us where
we are today. This book is dedicated to all of the
deceased family members of the Itoo Society. Their
unselfish giving and their traditions that have been
handed down through the generations are the
backbone of our Club today.
Marilyn Joseph - who showed love to all
For Ed Mallow - how he loved
our Itoo family!
In Loving Memory of Ray Maroon
Jamil Couri (1958-2015)
Jamil loved the Shish-Ka-Bob, one of his
favorite Itoo events. He started the
previous Sunday by coring cabbage
with the crew, working when he
could during the week, and was
always there on “game day” to
help wherever he was needed.
Jamil always had his calm demeanor,
no matter how crazy the day got,
and always his beautiful smile.
We miss you, Jamil.
