As we continue developing some of our existing programs, we will also be reaching out to our membership to learn more about what your interests and desires are for the coming year and beyond. We know the community is as ready as we are to get back to replenishing the vibrant spirit that the past year has so greatly tested. So, please stay tuned and stay in touch. Our best days as an organization are ahead of us and our members are at the heart and soul of all that we do. Thank you! NewsCall for Board and Committee Members!

Casa Italiana Update The Il Punto Board of Directors has established a Casa Committee to work with members of the Casa Italiana Board of Directors to further define our relationship and understand how we can work in parallel toward the betterment of the Italian and Italian-American communities.
