Lots of local lodges are having their annual crab feeds, Sausage and Polenta dinners, or like the Roma lodge #1573, has for the past 56 years, serving their delicious Sausage sandwiches, pasta plates, antipasto salads, meatball sandwiches and a variety of other food items to the 100,000 plus visitors to the World Ag Expo, held February 13th-15th, in Tulare Ca.

The Enrico Caruso lodge #1473 will serve

All lodges …    

Please send your event flyers to the IL Leone email address we want to include them in the following months issue. It’s a great way to let your brothers and sisters at neighboring lodges know about your events so they can attend and support your Lodge.  The deadline is the 15th of each month, 

Send your articles and event flyers to: illeone.ca@gmail.com

Our goal is to ensure that your IL Leone is in your mailbox on or before the 1st of every month.

Over 50 people attended the St. Helena Lodge’s February 7, 2024, meeting which featured a presentation by Christina Olivolo, who spoke about the experiences of Italian-Americans during WWII.  Christina has extensively researched this topic, including reviewing countless FBI files and newspaper articles from that period, conferring with other experts on this topic, and interviewing those who remember this dark chapter in the story of Italians in America.

Few of us know today that unnaturalized Italian immigrants – many of whom had resided in the United States for decades

Tony & Louise Tesoriere celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary recently & brought a cake to let their Sons of Italy brothers & sisters continue the celebration at the meeting  held on Valentine’s Day (Ash Wednesday). Members enjoyed the cake plus a wonderful potluck dinner provided by the Officers.   

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
BUONA PASQUA!!
