Brothers-
So far, it has been a fun and busy summer filled with great events.
The IAHF Festival turned out to have a much better turnout than anticipated, and the club had a much more successful festival than in the recent past. I would like to thank the booth chairs—Jon Taormina, Craig Palermo, and Ron Palermo. As with all festivals, this takes a lot of time and effort to organize. I also want to thank all the volunteers, from cutting peppers to clean-up. I was glad to see many new volunteers this year. At the end of the weekend, we had a great time.
We had our family picnic on the 3rd with an attendance of just under 200. Great food and a great time with family and friends. I want to thank all those who helped put it on and volunteered. Next year, let’s shoot for 300 in attendance.
Our 2nd annual Trap/Skeet Shoot will be on September 20th. Last year was a great event and fundraiser. Please see social events for more details. Hope to see you there.
At our September meeting, we will have an order form for SOS merchandise. If you’re not able to attend in September, an online order form will be available soon. We will be offering T-shirts, polo shirts, dress shirts, aprons, and hats. Prices for each item will be included on the order form.
As summer comes to an end, our last big event is the Little Italy Festival on October 5th, 11 a.m.–7 p.m. As usual, we will have the sausage sandwich booth. This festival draws a large turnout and is always a good time. We can’t do this without our great volunteers, with many thanks to Craig Palermo, who has offered to chair the booth again this year. Please contact him if you would like to volunteer.
Hope to see all of you 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.
