A MESSAGE FROM MICHELE PETRAROIA, VICE PRESIDENT, REGION OF MOLISE
This year, the Society awarded honorary membership to Michele Petraroia, Vice-Presidente della Giunta Regionale, Molise, due in large part to his outreach and advocacy of the region abroad, specifically with Molisani organizations throughout the world. Michele recently sent us a message (see below), in which he takes the opportunity to convey his appreciation and praise for the work done by our Society. It is our hope that Counselor Petraroia will someday visit us in Washington.
CALLING ALL MEMBERS!
The officers, Board members, and Chairs of Standing Committees, specifically Genealogy, Hospitality, Social, and Travel, encourage all members to get involved in the work of the Society and have fun in the process! There are many occasions for which your assistance is needed, such as trip planning or special social events. Just get in touch with one of us and let us know that you can volunteer your time. We also encourage all members to think about making a contribution to our bi-monthly newsletter. We love to hear from you, to share your news, your stories, your trips, etc. with the membership at large. So think about sending us your contributions – to Maria D’Andrea, at uva051985@comcast.net or to Maria Fresco, our Editor, at abruzzo_sicilia@hotmail.com.
