Order Sons and Daughters of Ialy in America
Hello my Brothers and Sisters,
COVID is still looming all around the country, and we are certainly not going to be able to have “in person” elections and installations for our local lodges. “In person” elections and installations would assume too great a risk to our members. We should be conducting these events virtually … preferably on Zoom … and given the current environment, this is the way we should be conducting business. Hopefully you can celebrate some
Unfortunately, I presume that this same consideration will be taken for the upcoming State Conventions usually held in May/June for our Grand Lodges on a National level, we have recently decided to have our actual elections of national officers via Zoom with the hopes of removing the remaining business of our convention to an in person week later in the year. Hopefully, this will allow us to be together again and continue the work of the Order.
Despite the pivoting of plans due to the pandemic, we continue to work hard and move right along planning interviews for every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm EST on Facebook. We recently interviewed comedian Joe Piscopo and award winning novelist Andrew Cotto, and what a delight both conversations were!! If you missed it, you can log on to the National OSDIA Facebook page and see it for yourself. This upcoming Wednesday, we have another blowout show where our good friend Adriana Trigiani will be special guest hosting prolific novelist and international bestselling author, David Baldacci. Please tune in to hear about this Italian American award winning author!
Finally, please stay safe. Get vaccinated – wear your masks (double masks if you can) – follow social distancing – and together we can hope that COVID will be a thing of the past real soon.
I miss seeing all of you and pray for your well-being during this pandemic.
