As in 2020 our 97th anniversary dinner and celebration usually held in March has been postponed.

Victor Zampatti served as our first Lodge President and John Salizzoni serves as our President now. Eureka Lodge is nearing the 60th anniversary of its hosting of the 1963 California Grand Lodge convention.

Eureka #1274 is the 4th oldest lodge still in existence in California. We are nearing our 100th celebration on March 16th, 2024.

Speaking of one hundred years our member Evo Fanucchi celebrated his 100th birthday on September 22nd 2020. We were not able to celebrate with him due to the pandemic.

Long time owner of Roy’s Restaurant and other properties in Old Town Eureka he has lived through most of the most interesting times in world history and our local Humboldt County history.

Our Lodge Financial Secretary Donna Olivieri wants to thank all of the members who have sent her their dues for the 2021 year.

Despite the pandemic Eureka Lodge will award the Irene and Paul Pinochi and Frank Stagnoli Scholarships this spring. Please remind your grandchildren or friends with children of Italian descent that application materials are available now from their high school counselors or by calling Dianne Luzzi at 442-8812 to have an application sent directly to them. The deadline is April 15th.

Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable and healthy Carnivale at home!

Easter is very early this year; the Eureka Lodge wishes everyone Buona Pasqua.
