Ciao a tutti (Hello Everyone),

We are half way through the month of October.  

• How many times have you proudly worn your SOI t-shirt?
• Have you shared something Italian on Social Media?
• Did you look at the links I sent in the email 2 weeks ago?
• Below I attached Heinz History Center’s Bollettino which includes a few lectures and programs coming up in the next 2-3 weeks.  If you attend one, send us some feedback!

Here is one more way to follow the Italian-American Heritage: The National Order has a YouTube Channel that you can subscribe to for free. Here is the link & a link to their Save-Columbus-Day movement!

The Italian America Show: Columbus Day Special

Ciao!

We need YOU to help collect items to archive the The Sewickley Area Italian Heritage Archive Project history. This will also help us collect artifacts in commemoration of our 100th Anniversary in 1924. Please see the “Archive Project” tab at the top of the page, or Click Here to redirect you! It is important that we maintain a robust record of our Italian heritage and the individuals that established and maintained the Loggia Nicola Misasi Lodge #1277 for a century!

Please contact Jerry Veshio (jveshio@gmail.com  412-716-5452) for any questions you may have. We need YOUR help to collect these artifacts in order to preserve our history for years to come!

As always, see you at The Club!

Please note that the SOI will now be closed for the Steelers vs. KC Playoff game tonight at 8:15pm. We made this decision due to the 6-10″ of snow that is expected to fall over the course of this evening. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, and we hope you stay safe and warm!

We hope you had a beautiful Christmas – Buon Natale!  
As December comes to an end we have a few more days we are open!  Buon Anno!
