october | ottobre 2022 A Message from National President Robert A. Bianchi
Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:
By the time you read this, our OSDIA delegation will be in Rome, Italy. We are looking forward to meeting our members from the Rome lodge, and swearing in our second and newest lodge out of Palermo, Sicily.
While there, we will be attending a Papal Audience, meeting community and business leaders, meeting with Italian legislators, and taking a culinary tour, just to name a few of the great things we will be doing to promote OSDIA.
October will also be Italian American Heritage month and our Columbus Day celebrations. We look forward to many projects in these regards and thank CSJ President, Robert Ferrito for his continued, unrelenting work to promote Columbus Day and present a positive image of Italian Americans.
October is also domestic violence month. As with the Ukraine fundraiser, Giving Tuesday, and our other programs, it is imperative that OSDIA be out front of issues of interest to all Americans. In other words, we need to stay relevant to as many people as we can. This is what many members want to see in organizations they are a part of.
In this regard, we have partnered with a great organization and will be running a series of lectures on the domestic violence issue(s), and how it pertains to younger people (especially students) at an alarming rate. We will let you know when it is airing, and we hope that you can encourage your friends and family to watch this very important series of lectures.
We have also formed a youth group that has committed to working with the National Office to bring ideas to the table that will encourage younger membership. These younger individuals are very committed to our cause and I am hopeful that this project will be fruitful, and we can push these suggestions to our Grand and Subordinate lodges.
Don’t forget, we have a new season of The Italian American Show! We would love your help by sponsoring this very important marketing tool for OSDIA. On that note, our show has done so well, and the guests have been so amazing, that another media outlet has asked permission to air our programs on their platform, and they are willing to share in the advertising that they receive for the shows they promote. This will be a great passive source of income for OSDIA and it costs us nothing. This is amazing!
October is chock full of events, trips, celebrations, etc… Please make sure to join and check out our social media platforms and YouTube where everything we are doing is posted so that you and your family and friends can keep up to date on what we are doing.
I hope you are all well and safe!
Fraternally, Bob Bianchi
