Judge Frank A. Gulotta Lodge No. 2180 Order Sons 0f Italy in America NEWSLETTER __ ____ OCTOBER 2014 A Message from our President Ciao Brothers and Sisters, Fall has finally arrived and here we are beginning Italian Heritage Month! A whole month dedicated to celebrating our culture and traditions. This is an exciting time for all Italian Americans, especially OSIA members. Our October Heritage meeting will be held on October 8, 2014 at the Senior Center beginning at 7:30pm. Come and enjoy pasta, sausage, salad, bread, wine, water, coffee and dessert for only $5.00. Brother Ronnie will be on the key board to lead us with an Italian song sing along. If you would like to bring an appetizer or snack that is reminiscent of your culture and heritage, please feel free to do so. Congratulations to Sister Florence Iovino on her new position as Trustee. We look forward to her fresh input at our council meetings and the continued help she’s given at each and every lodge function. Thanks to all those who supported our Bethlehem PA Casino Bus Trip on Saturday, September 27th. A special thank you to Sister Gaetana DiRienzo for her outstanding job chairing this fundraiser. As mentioned in previous newsletters, our lodge is still in need of marchers for the Long Island Columbus Day Parade on Sunday October12th and the New York City Parade Monday October 13th. It is not too late to join us. If you would like to march in either parade, please let me know so that we can arrange a meeting place and car pools. If you are unable to walk and would like to reserve a place in a car for the Huntington Parade, please let me know. We should all take a minute each day to reflect on our Heritage. It is a part of who we are. Take notice of these traditions, some that have become commonplace in our homes and treasure them. Pass them down to your children and be sure to explain their importance. Finally, please inspire another Italian American to join our Lodge. I look forward to seeing you all at our Heritage Celebration with Pasta and Song. Fraternally, Gil DeCosimo Please join us for our general meeting Wednesday October 8, 2014 at 7:30pm, we will be celebrating Italian Heritage Month.
