Date: 04/27/2025 10:24 PM EDT
Subject: SAVE THE DATE: EFASCE NY and Philadelphia Alipini Event – Sunday June 22
Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 22, at 12:00 noon. EFASCE New York members, the head of the Alpini in North America, and the head of an Italian organization focused on immigrated Alpini around the world, ERAPLE, are coming to the Venetian Club for an event about the Alpini.
We don’t have all the details yet, but the program will tentatively include a video connection with an Alipini choir, Choro Alpini Montenegro Live from Cividale del Friuli. There will also be an exhibition of Alpini information, and you will hear from the ERAPLE organization. We will have tastes of Friuli and lunch – as well as an opportunity to mingle with the New York contingency to make new friends and connections.
We will keep you posted, but I wanted to get this information out to you to Save the Date! We are very excited to bring this opportunity to our organization. Mandi!
