AMHS MEMBERSHIP
I am pleased to report that there are 273 members of AMHS, including many new members. Thank you for your support of the Society’s programs and activities. We have many wonderful events coming over the rest of the year and your membership makes them possible!
Our Society strives to preserve our Italian heritage and offers a variety of events to enhance our community. We publish the newsletter, the AMHS Notiziario, we have half-price associate memberships in NIAF available, and we have wonderful events—such as our luncheons and our annual Ferragosto Picnic. We also sponsor scholarships to further academic studies in Italian culture or language for two students each year.

AMHS is involved in social networking and posts pictures of our events and interesting articles about Italy online. Please take some time to visit our AMHS Facebook page and hit the “Like” button to follow our updates, https://www.facebook.com/abruzzomoliseheritagesociety
