What has been happening at the Anaheim Lodge?
We have had a few events to keep us busy and to bring an end in celebrating 2022.

October 22th, Anaheim Lodge had their Annual Casino Night. It was

Our Lodge just finished a wonderful year! A year that saw us rebound from the misery and confinements of the Covid pandemic, along with the restrictions of Palm Springs City Hall, but here we are again, standing tall and enjoying the dining and the talents of our entertainers.

And as always the sum total of our experience, and it is an amazing great time, is due to our volunteers and President Joe LaPorta. The volunteers keep the drinks flowing at the bar, make and deliver the dinner and lastly the entertainers come forth to amaze us with their versatility and talent! As Frank DiSalvo always says, we are the envy of all the other Lodges…

It was a year in which we held our third open golf tournament and buffet, which was a big success in November. Played once again

Felice anno nuovo!
We had a fun and successful 2022. Great attendance at all our monthly dinner meetings and a sold out crowd for our big fundraiser. We have initiated several new members and have a new President this coming year. We are still looking for a new financial secretary to fill Madeleine Zunino’s position as she has been doing it for many, many years. We gave away scholarships to some wonderful young adults and gave to our chosen charities.

At the end of June, Dawn Romero, Hugh and Pamela Ricci, and Ken and Barbara Wisniewski attended the Grand Lodge Convention in Anaheim. President, Barbara, did a great job and all of us at our Lodge are proud she is our State President.

In August we had our annual picnic at Idlewild Park. We had a great turn out, the weather was perfect,

This month has been very active for our Local Lodges. With this being an election year, they have been recruiting new officers to take on new responsibilities. As members of the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America, it is important for each of us to give a little time and energy to our Lodges. We are always in need of innovative ideas and new energy to keep our Lodges going in a growing direction. We can not afford to become stagnant. For those of us that are not able to take on an office, we must support our Officers in any way we can. Congratulations to all our new and returning Officers.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Saddleback Valley Lodge meeting to install new members. My apologies to President Hank Lowinger and the members of that Lodge. My First Gent, Ken, is down with a bad back. Hopefully, by the time you read this he will be back to his old self again. I’m afraid
