The Orange County Italian Club in Formation

Invites You

TO BECOME A FOUNDING MEMBER

The Orange County Italian Club's goal is to have monthly social meetings at local restaurants and bars. Italian movie nights are organized monthly and cultural events on a quarterly basis. The club will seek to present notices via Internet of italian cultural events taking place locally and in Los Angeles.

Other goals are:

  • The formation of an Italian Saturday language school for preschool and elementary-age students
  • Facilitating of visiting Italian University Professors
We wish to thank Dr. Francesca Valente, Ms. Clara Celati and the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles for their support

Your interest and participation is requested by joining our mailing list, preferably through your E Mail address. We would appreciate your help in spreading the word to your Italian friends in Orange County and inviting them to join. We welcome your ideas.
