It was all about Italian at a recent gala at the Paxon Hollow Golf Club. About 250 guests packed the ballroom for the 28th annual Associazione Regionale Abruzzese (ARA) Delco dinner dance to pay tribute to their Italian heritage and honor local people of Italian origin or descent who have made outstanding contributions to the community while fostering Italian heritage and culture.
“This gathering of our friends and paesani at this annual event gives us the opportunity to celebrate the rich history and heritage that Abruzzo has provided to all of us,” said Nick Rapagnani of Brookhaven, president of ARA Delco. “We, as an organization, strive to organize, promote, and conduct social, cultural, sports and recreational activities as we maintain and strengthen our Italian heritage.”
