Roma Lodge #1573

Roma Lodge #1573 officially started meeting again at the September meeting. Although, the lodge has met informally since May-2021 members decided it was time to start meeting in an official capacity in September. Nearly 60 members were on hand to share a delicious dinner of pizza and chicken wings. During the business section of the meeting the group started the planning process for the upcoming Columbus Day celebration in October, scheduling fundraisers and annual holiday events.

The Tulare City Council and Mayor Dennis A. Mederos proclaimed the month of October as Italian Heritage Month in the City of Tulare. Roma Lodge could not celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2020 because of the pandemic. Therefore, the City Council of Tulare took action this year to commemorate this important milestone for the lodge.
