Brothers-
We had a great golf tournament last month. It was a little warm but a great time. I would like to thank Bob Scaletta, Mike Maltese, Mike Burriesci, and Al Mistretta for putting together this great event, it takes a lot of time and effort and these guys did a great job from start to finish.
Our June 2nd meeting was a male guest night / membership drive. It resulted a few new members but we are hoping that some more come around and fill out an application. We had approx. 30 guests and a great rib dinner. Thanks for everyone that attended.
July 7th will be family night. This is great night to have a meal with family and friends and to honor the 10 scholarship recipients. Please see the rest of newsletter for additional information and please call Mike Maltese with your count. Please RSVP by July 1st. We want to make sure enough tables get set up.
There had been some interest for SOS merchandise. We will have a sign-up sheet at the front table starting in July. We need to have a minimum item order so you if you are interested, please sign up.
We want to make sure our members are enjoying their time at our meetings, and know that the drinks are a big part of this. Starting in July each table will receive a wine ticket before dinner. Bring your ticket to the bar and pick up your bottle. There will be NO CHARGE for the 1st bottle of wine for the table. Additional bottles will be available for purchase at $10 per bottle.
Reminder the IAHF Family Festa will be July 26th and 27th. We need volunteers to help in the booths. Please contact Jon Taormina for the sausage booth or Ron Palermo for the Ravioli booth.
Reminder that tickets for our August 3rd Family Picinic will be available starting at the July 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.
