2010 Annual Dinner

The Vittoria Lodge held its annual dinner on Sunday, June 13, 2010 at the lodge hall.  Before a delicious meal of pasta and chicken was served, lodge president Jim Forneris completed the hall remodeling project by attaching the last piece of trim.  The meal was followed by a program which included a review of the successful year by Jim  and auxiliary president Julie Jennings.  Outgoing auxiliary president Mary Ladurini was also presented with a bouquet of flowers in honor of her many years of service to the group.

Photos of this year’s event can be viewed in the Vittoria Lodge Photo Albums.
