People across the country struggle to create a sense of community. a sense of belonging. The Italian societies have played an important role in forging strong bonds in our community and have been charged with both preserving and celebrating our rich heritage and strong traditions. Perhaps most important was the support that they provided to families and those newly immigrating to America. Society members helped them to find employment and housing. educate themselves and their children. to become productive and active members of the community. giving them a voice and the opportunity to realize the American Dream. It has been through that sense of communitythat extended familythat ItalianAmericans have flourished and generation after generation share a special pride in their Italian roots.
