A Message from the President of the ICCA

Greetings of the season!

Looking at this past year, I am so proud of all that we have accomplished together to rebuild our ICCA.

We kicked the year off with a very exciting Festa della Repubblica, where old friends came together, and new friends were made. We hosted weddings, parties, Sunday dinners, a Holiday craft show, full language and cooking classes with waitlists and, of course, our very successful Festa Italiana in September!

Together, we secured our ICCA financials all while re-igniting our Italianità - the passion to share all that our Italian culture has to offer.

On behalf of myself and all of the ICCA Board of Directors, we wish you all the very best in the New Year!

------------------

Auguri di buone feste a tutti! Ripensando all’anno passato, sono orgogliosa di tutto ciò che abbiamo realizzato insieme per ricostruire la nostra ICCA.

Abbiamo iniziato l’anno con la Festa della Repubblica che è stato un successo in cui vecchi amici si sono riuniti e si sono fatte nuove amicizie. Abbiamo ospitato matrimoni, feste, cene domenicali, una mostra natalizia dell' artigianato, corsi completi di lingua e cucina con liste d’attesa, e la nostra Festa Italiana a settembre e' stata un grande successo!

Insieme, abbiamo garantito la stabilità finanziaria della nostra ICCA riaccendendo nel contempo la nostra Italianità - la passione di condividere tutto ciò che la nostra cultura italiana ha da offrire.

A nome mio e di tutto il Consiglio Direttivo dell'ICCA, auguriamo a voi tutti il meglio per il Nuovo Anno!

Sincerely/Cordiali saluti,

Sandra Gardin

ICCA-NS President
