We welcomed State Vice President Louie Lodi, our State Deputy John Jefsen and his lovely wife Lorna, and President of the Vincenzo Bellini Lodge of Chico,Tony George,

Cristoforo Columbo Lodge #1534 in Reno, Nevada, would like to share some information about what has happened at our Lodge these past few months.

The Great Italian Festival at the El Dorado Hotel and Casino in October was another great day for us.  The Sons and Daughters of Italy had their booth manned mainly by Barbara and Ken Wisniewski. She had help from other Lodge members throughout the day.  The Bonaldi/Ricci booth was manned by most of the family members.  It was a beautiful day and oh so many people

Pictured above is a partial group of Roma Lodge members who organized, conducted our Italian food booth at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, February 13-15th.  Yes, we know the organization has been changed to the Sons and Daughters of Italy, however, until the sign we placed on our building at the show over 20 years ago is still good and we are not going to change it until it needs to be redone.  The World Ag Expo was started at the Tulare Fair Grounds in 1968 and moved to the International Agri-Center
