President's Message

Octobre, 2026
Brothers-
We began the month with the unexpected loss of one of our original club members, my great uncle, Richard Salciccia. On behalf of my family, I want to sincerely thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Our September meeting featured excellent food, the introduction of two new members—welcome to the club—and a brief but productive meeting. Thank you to all who attended.
Our final major event of the season will take place on Sunday, October 4th at Little Italy, where we will once again host our sausage and pepper sandwich booth. Ron Palermo and Rodney Turco have stepped up to chair this booth. If you would like to volunteer, please reach out to them with your availability.
Our annual Wine Event will be held on October 16th. This is always a wonderful evening—perfect for a date night—with outstanding antipasti and wine. Please contact Bob if you would like to attend. This event is an important fundraiser for the club. If you have already RSVPed, please bring your payment to the meeting.
As mentioned at the meeting, dues notices will be sent out this month. Dues are payable by January 1st, 2027. The dues amount remains unchanged from 2026.
The Board is finalizing the 2027 Calendar of Events, which will be included in the November Newsletter.
As always, please check your email throughout the month for updates on social events and general announcements. Email remains our most effective way to communicate with members in real time.
I look forward to seeing you in October at our regular meeting.
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.
