     If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self-employed and we’re having a meeting.
Last month (April)) we met at Luna’s for a family style dinner, but this article is being written before we met. Our biggest decision was to maintain the status quo (regarding our meeting place) but change the meeting date; the meetings will now be on Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays; Isabel will call you so you can make your reservation each month.

Sharon Pember has been helping out around the lodge for a few year and has now joined as a member. Karen Smith joined us because she is proud of her Italian heritage. Don Porter joined a bocce league and wanted to join us for activities at the lodge, too. We welcome them to our lodge family.

     Just in time for baseball season another home run for Eureka’s fourth drive thru chicken and polenta dinner: over 200 dinners were sold. The crew did a great job and the weather cooperated on April 3rd.
     Thank you again to Dave and Donna Olivieri and Nick Giannini and their cooking staff.
And let’s not forget the lead ticket sellers: Bonnie DuMond, Betty Senestraro and Ralph Giannini.
     This May we will attempt to have our first potluck meeting and will be announcing our Pinochi and Stagnoli

     In Loving Memory: It is with a sad heart that I start this article from the Anaheim Lodge. On Saturday April 17, 2022 Josephine Zannitto passed away peacefully with no illnesses, she now has gone to be with her husband Ralph. Josie was our oldest member at 100 years and 5 months. She has been a member of the Anaheim Lodge since 1971. Josie was very active in her younger days with our Anaheim Bowling League. But she still enjoyed coming to our Casino Nights and Bingo, right up to the end. Josie you will be missed, your personality was always pleasant and you were a friend to everyone.
     On Saturday April 2, 2022, the Anaheim Lodge #2076 crowned their new lodge queen Natalie Lavezzari. The event was held at the Women’s Civic Club in Garden Grove. The Anaheim Lodge is proud

Message from the State President

During the last month I have been busy doing what I enjoy most, visiting Lodges. I began with my trip to Northern Solano Lodge in Fairfield, CA, where I had the honor of presenting some of our long-time members with certificates and pins. Two of those were for 25 years and given to my Recording Secretary, Lori Rossi and her husband and CAO of the Western Foundation Mark! Thank you both for your commitment to our Order.

I spent some time with my Sisters and Brothers in the Giuseppe Verdi Lodge in Sparks NV. There we initiated four new members. I am so happy to take part in such events. New members keep our Order going.

I’ve just come back from the Cesare Battisti Lodge in Rohnert Park, CA. I had the pleasure of initiating twenty, yes
