The Grandsons of Italy

Each year the Grandsons of Italy name one of our members "Man of the Year". This honor goes to a member who has given a great deal of himself to the club. This honoree represents what it truly means to be a "Grandson of Italy".

A lavish dinner is thrown in his honor where he is toasted and presented with a gold medallion containing an Italian coin. The evening consists of entertainment, food, singing, stories and jokes. It is more fun than can be described in words.
