Guigno, 2025
Brothers-
I would like to thank the cooks for putting out another great meal. I would like to give a special thanks to Paul Battaglia for donating the fava beans for the pasta and the crew that spent the Sunday before the meeting shucking them.
A reminder our June 2nd meeting is a male guest night / membership drive. Let’s get some future members for a BBQ rib dinner. The $50 initiation fee will be waived for new members that join at the meeting. As always please call Mike Maltese if you are bringing a guest.
I am happy to announce that our annual Family Picinic will be held outdoors at Naperdak on Sunday August 3rd. Look for the picnic flyer in the newsletter. Reminder that members will be free for the picnic and the August 4th meeting will not be held.
July 7th will be family night. At this event we will be honoring the 10 recipients of Aiuto scholarships. A huge Congratulations to the 2025 recipients.
Last but not least the IAHF Family Festa will be July 26th and 27th. We need volunteers to help in the booths. Please contact Jon Taromina for the sausage booth or Ron Palermo for the Ravioli booth.
Frank Salciccia – President
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.
