I take special pleasure in having this opportunity to note the outstanding work of the order over the years. As the Nations oldest and largest organization of Americans of Italian background. the Order Sons of Italy in America boasts a widely diversified program of educational. social. civic. charitable. legislative. and patriotic activities. Since its founding in 1905. at a time when Italian immigrants new to our shores united together in one organization to preserve their rich cultural heritage. members of this group have continued to maintain that tradition and pride in that heritage. It is with great pleasure that I salute the Order Sons of Italyand the State of New Jersey which counts among its people a great many ItalianAmericansand offer all my best wishes for a successful convention..
