A Message from National President
Robert A. Bianchi

Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends

I hope that this finds you happy, healthy, and safe.

I think this past Thanksgiving gave us all time to reflect about what we are thankful for, more for me than most years. Being with our families and friends, after all this time--truly a blessing! I pray we will all be able to enjoy our Christmas season the same way!

OSDIA continues to make significant progress as we now have more flexibility since business continue to re-open from the pandemic. My team works daily with the National office to continue the traditions of the projects we have come to che

rish, as well as, adding new ideas and concepts that we feel will position us to increase membership and attract the much-needed younger generations.

Additionally, we have worked hard to review vendor contracts and have already accomplished some significant savings, without jeopardizing any quality of services. In fact, I would submit we have actually saved money and improved efficiencies.

As for programing, and on the fraternal side, we are excited about all of our social media success, including the conclusion of Season 4 of our Facebook Live Series. But, the highlight is that OSDIA is now on News 12 +, a TV station that reaches 3.8 million homes in the metro tri-state area. But, remember that this station streams live on the News 12 + app, so you can see it anywhere in the world. We are also seeing advertising for our show increase as well!

If you have not already, please consider subscribing to all of our social media platforms, including YouTube. And, all likes and shares are imperative as that is how we will move up in the rankings!

By the time you receive this our Family Photo Contest will be completed, as well as Giving Tuesday. We are in the process of additional fun things that are in the process of development.

I very much look forward to seeing you are the Plenary. It will be nice to see you all in person again!!!

In the meantime, my very best to you and your families for a very Merry Christmas, and a happy and blessed New Year.

Fraternally,

Bob Bianchi
