Centinela Valley Lodge #1991

Our November 72nd Anniversary dinner was a terrific evening! We had a wonderful prime rib or chicken wellington dinner. The food was fantastic, as usual. Our caterer did another outstanding job. The members that helped put this event together created a beautifully decorated hall. Without each and every one of them, our events would not be as successful. We would like to thank each of the lodges and state officers that attended our anniversary: Anaheim Lodge, Joanne Coccia Lodge, La Costa Dei Fiori Lodge, Pugliese Lodge, and Saddleback Lodge. The state officers that attended were: our State Deputy and Michelle Alfieri Lowinger, State Financial Secretary David Lavezzari, State Orator Manny Finazzo (representing the State President), and State 2nd Vice President Mark Vaona.

Our honorees Rick & Lynn Lavezzari. Rick has been a member of Sons of Italy since 2005 and Lynn has been a member since 2012. Rick & Lynn have been a big part of the lodge supporting it monetarily and supporting the lodge when needed.. They also support the lodge as a trustees.

In October we were honored at the City of Torrance City Council Meeting and we were presented a Proclamation for Italian-American Heritage Month. The Major Pat Furey came to the anniversary to present the proclamation to the lodge.
