AMHS MEMBERSHIP
by Sarah Scott, 2nd VP - Membership
Happy holidays! Would you like to send a fabulous gift to a family member or special friend? I suggest an AMHS membership! AMHS hosts wonderful activities and appealing events, funds annual scholarships, and publishes the Notiziario. Italian-Americans (or anyone who loves Italian culture) far and wide can appreciate the benefits of an AMHS membership!
We now have 274 members and add more every month, thanks to our energetic members who know the value of preservation of our unique Italian heritage within the community. AMHS joins with other Italian-American organizations such as: The National Italian-American Foundation (NIAF), Lucchesi Nel Mondo-Tuscany Club, Passatempo Meetup, The Lido Civic Club of Washington DC, and, of course, Holy Rosary Church and Casa Italiana.
We also are involved in social networking and post pictures of our events online. Please take some time to visit our AMHS Facebook page and hit the “Like” button to follow our updates,
