The Blauvelt Sons of Italy Lodge 2176 awards scholarships at the end of each school year to students across the region who have excelled in a specific subject area and demonstrate a strong ability to continue on to a successful college career. On Saturday, June 13th the organization awarded 18 scholarships.
“We are immensely proud of our Scholarship Awards program. We not only give out scholarships in June each year, we recognize students each month who study the Italian language. It is a program that keeps the Italian language alive and supports the brightest and most committed students in area high schools who will go on to four-year colleges and pursue their dreams,” stated Lodge President Jerry Verdicchio.
The scholarship committee is headed by Dr. John Guglielmucci, Richard Sica and Greg DeCola, all members of Lodge 2176.
The following awards were presented:
The presentation took place at the Lodge location on Van Wyck Road in Blauvelt, NY and Lodge members as well as teachers, parents and family members of the winners were present as well as the Anthony Naccarato, State President of The Order Sons of Italy in America Grand Lodge of New York.
The Rockland Lodge 2176 of the Order of The Sons of Italy in America was established in 1966 with the goal of enhancing the image of people of Italian descent and has grown into one of the most active organizations in the region. In addition to providing scholarships to students, the Lodge runs the largest event in Rockland County – the Italian Feast and Carnival -- and a portion of the proceeds are donated to a variety of charitable organizations in and around the area.
