• Cultural events. A range of lectures, museum tours, art installations. We take an active role at Festa Italiana, the region’s largest celebration of all things Italian, and invite our members to volunteer at our booth.
• Annual members picnic. Held each August, this is one of our most popular events. Meet new members, enjoy fantastic food, and hear what’s in store for the sister-city group in coming months.
• Group dinners. Member dinners have been a highlight in past years, usually held at local restaurants and coupled with the screening of an Italian film.
