Dear IACV Members
A message to our members from Club President Ray Coppola.
The Original Italian American club is a social club. But what we are doing is expanding our social activities.
We now have our own bocce league. It is at Laurel Manor Rec Center every Tuesday from 10 am to 12 pm.
Bernice Braccia is our trips person. She sets up anything from day trips to excursions as far away as Italy.
We have a bocce/pizza fun day twice a year. One is coming up next month.
We also have a golf scramble. Now twice a year. One coming up in May.
Our club is not a once-a-month club as we expand our social events so members can go out, have a great time and meet new people.
Please be aware of these events as they are described in the messages that are sent out to club members and please take advantage of these great social activities.
Ray Coppola
