Brothers-
As our busy summer winds down, I want to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed their time and effort to our events. These gatherings require months of planning and the dedication of many individuals. Without your hard work, these events would not be possible—nor would they be as enjoyable as they are.
In July, we operated our sausage sandwich and ravioli booths at the IAHF Festival at History Park. Attendance appeared to be higher than last year, and the booths performed very well compared to past festivals. I want to thank Rodney Turco Sr. and Rodney Turco Jr. for taking on the challenge of chairing the booths, and I extend my gratitude to all the volunteers whose efforts make these events possible.
On Sunday, August 2nd, we held our annual Family Picnic, welcoming just over 200 attendees for a wonderful day of food, friendship, and family. Thank you to all the cooks and volunteers who helped make this event a success. We hope to continue increasing attendance each year.
Due to the Labor Day holiday on the 7th, our next regular business meeting will be held on Monday, September 14th. On September 19th, we will host our annual Trap/Skeet Shoot. This event takes place immediately following our meeting, so if you plan to participate, please RSVP as soon as possible. Our annual Wine Event will be held on October 16th. This is always a great evening—perfect for a date night—with excellent antipasti and wine.
Our final major event of the season will be on Sunday, October 4th at Little Italy, where we will again host our sausage sandwich and pepper booth. Ron Palermo and Rodney Turco Jr. have stepped up to chair this booth. If you would like to volunteer, please reach out to them with your availability.
I look forward to seeing you in September at our regular meeting.

Auito Foundation Update
I am very excited to update the club on the status of the Auto Foundation, which is the nonprofit charitable organization funded by the Sons of Sicily. We have a new sense of positivity and momentum after adding some quality members to the Board and eliminating some of the negative influences of our past.
This year we will have given away approximately $15,000 to deserving High school graduates going on to higher education. You should receive your Sons of Sicily dues letters in the mail very soon. Please take some time and consider donating to the Auito Foundation. This money will be used to fund our scholarships. Thank you for your time.
