A Dream Realized: Un Sogno Realizzato

Northern California's Italian Cultural Center

The new Center is located at 6821 Fair Oaks Blvd., and its completion represents the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the Italian community of Northern California. Finally, we have a home of our own where we can celebrate our cultural heritage and build our community. We owe our thanks to the many people who donated their hard-earned money to be part of the dream. We thank all the many people who made a difference and cared enough to contribute to make this dream a reality. We have taken out a loan to finish the interior construction of the new Italian Center so our fundraising must continue until we pay it off.
We encourage everyone to give generously to the Italian Building Fund. We still have a lot of hard work ahead of us to raise the money to pay off the project. We need your support now! We hope to have the Center fully operational by September. The new center will serve as the second campus of the Italian Language School. You can still contribute and become an important part of establishing a proud home for the Italian community by making a donation to the Building Fund today. Every donation will be listed in our "Legacy Book." Donations may be tax deductible and can be accumulated to make you eligible for a "Brick" or "Brass Plate" on our "Italian American Wall of Honor". Celebrate your heritage, build your community…it's your future! For information about the project, call the Society at 916-482-5900 or e-mail us at italy1@surewest.net
