A Dream Come True
Un Sogno Realizzato
- The New Northern California's Italian Cultural
Center, 6821 Fair Oaks Blvd
The completion of the our new building 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 fund raising 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!
