Hello from Redding:

We really don’t have much news from our lodge. Like most of the rest of the lodges, we have suspended our meetings and events. We have had a few members who have tested positive for Covid 19, but only one, that we know of, who was hospitalized briefly.

The World Ag Expo was started in Tulare, California in 1968 at the Tulare County Fair. The show was started with an idea of a few local farmers sitting around in a garage one day having a few adult beverages according to Charlie Pitigliano, past Roma Lodge President and WAE show chairman in 2016. The original show was called the Tulare Field and Row Crop Equipment Show. Each year the show grew in attendance and facilitated the move to the current site in 1982. The name was changed to the World Ag Expo, now with over 2 million square feet of show space, 1,200 volunteers and numerous permanent buildings with plenty of exhibitor space for indoor and outdoor displays. Attended by over 100,000 people and 1,200 exhibitors the show is the biggest in the world.

This article from Cesare Batisti Lodge #1518 is dedicated to Louise Vicino. In the January issue of of the Il Leone, Louise “retired” due to her health issues. She must have had a premonition of the future as Louise has now been reunited with her beloved Louis. The members of our Lodge found her articles chock full of very useful information which we will be eternally grateful. Rest In Peace Louise. Diane Gizzi Contributing member.

With the passing of our beloved Louise Vicino, we are trying to fill in the large gap she left us with. She passed December 28th, four days
