President's Message

Brothers-
It was great to see everyone back for our first regular meeting since before summer. Mark and crew put on a great meal as usual.
It is with a heavy heart that September has turned out to be a sad time for the club. We had five members pass away, including longtime member and past president Joe Rotolo. Please keep the families of these members in your prayers. See Health and Welfare for additional details.
As a reminder, October and November are regular business meetings rather than designated Guest Nights. However, members are always welcome to bring potential members as guests to regular meetings and cover the cost of dinner.
Please use our digital form for SOS merchandise. We are offering T-shirts, polo shirts, dress shirts, aprons, and hats. Prices for each item will be included on the order form. At the meeting, it was asked whether orders are reserved for members only. I want to make sure everyone knows that anyone can purchase merchandise.
As summer comes to an end, I want to remind you that our last big event before Christmas is the Little Italy Festival on October 5th from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. As usual, we will have our 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.
It’s also that time of year again—after our October meeting, dues notices will be going out.

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.
