The celebration of the Sacramento Lodge’s 100th Anniversary was held on January 25th and exceeded our expectations with over 100 attendees!  We were able to celebrate the fellowship of our lodge, as well as four members with 40, 45, and 50 years of being part of the Sons and Daughters of Italy.  Honorees were:  David Carboni – 50 years; Pam Tedesco – 50 years; Barbara Alfidi – 45 years; and Ed Smith – 40 years.

The lodge was originally founded by Eduardo Gustalli, Giovanni Santini, and Armando Bondi on January 7, 1925 as the Giacomo Puccini Lodge.  Many years later, in January 1991 the Regina Margherita Lodge #1423 merged with the Sacramento Lodge.  Two of the noteworthy pieces on display that evening was the original charter and a ledger dated 1926-1936 written
