Italian American Heritage Celebration
In honor of Italian American Heritage Month in October, the Triangle Sons and Daughters of Italy in America presents its premier annual event on Saturday, October 11th at 3:00 pm at Our Lady Lourdes Catholic Church Fallon Center (2718 Overbrook Dr, Raleigh, NC 27608). Our theme this year is Le Feste Dell’America Italiana (The Feasts of Italian America).
Le Feste Dell’America Italiana is a Social, Cultural, Educational, and Charity focused event. The program will offer a vast array of Italian American foods, warm your heart with a lively professional and inspiring Italian singer (Giovanni Grimaudo) and we will raise a few dollars to put towards charities and scholarships. We will also welcome and induct new members. The capacity for this program is approximately 200 members and their guests.
This event is free for TSDIA Adult and Youth members and $5 for guests without a TSDIA Membership. You will register your party to select an entrée to bring for the buffet table when you register. You can either bring a homemade entrée, or you can purchase the dish from a restaurant. If you select one of the pasta dishes to bring, you can substitute the shape of the pasta if necessary.
THIS IS A ONE-STEP REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR MEMBERS, OR A TWO-STEP REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR THOSE BRINGING GUESTS WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS.

CONVERSATIONAL ITALIAN
The TSDOI Conversational Italian generally meets at Keller Williams Legacy, 1483 Beaver Creek Commons Drive, Apex, NC 27502 at 1:00 pm. On the last Monday of the month, we have a group of members who meet for informal conversational Italian. All skill levels are welcome. Some can speak quite well, and others can barely speak the Italian language, but enjoy learning a few words or phrases at a particular meet-up. The session is for approximately 1 hour. See the calendar at the top of the page for dates for these meetings.
If you would like to attend our next session, please RSVP to Don Cimorelli donald.cimorelli@gmail.com . Don can add you to our ongoing Conversational Italian distribution list if you request to be informed of all sessions.

SCOPA Night at Southern Peak Brewery
Monthly on a Thursday Night at 6:00 pm
Southern Peak Brewery, 950 Windy Rd., Suite 100, Apex, NC 27502
Scopa is an Italian card game, and one of the three major national card games in Italy. You do not need to know how to play to join us. The game is quick to learn and you will sit with others at a table who will show you the ropes. It is a very pleasant atmosphere to chat, get to know other members, and purchase a sandwich at the outside Italian Food Truck. Of course you can order your favorite beverage too at the brewery.
