AMHS MEMBERSHIP
by Sarah Scott, 2nd VP - Membership
AMHS has grown to 267 members! Our Society strives to preserve our Italian heritage and offer a variety of events to enhance our community. We are attracting new members by providing and promoting enriching activities to our membership. Not only do we have wonderful activities, our annual scholarships, and the publication of the Notiziario, but AMHS actively participates in joint events with the wider Italian-American community as well. Recent events involve our joint efforts with DC area Italian-American organizations such as Lucchese Nel Mondo-Tuscany Club, Passatempo Meetup, The Lido Civic Club of Washington, and, of course, Holy Rosary Church and Casa Italiana. Please read more about these recent and near-future events in the pages of this month’s Notiziario.
We continue to use social networking and posting pictures of our events. Please take some time to visit our AMHS Facebook page and hit the “Like” button to follow our updates: https://www.facebook.com/abruzzomoliseheritagesociety.
