I hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer. As we enter into the fall, we have a lot of important events starting with our annual Columbus Day Parade, please join us as we march up 5th Avenue with all our brothers and sisters in blue as Italian Americans in law Enfocement. October 24th will be our annual Cigar Night at Vetro’s in Howard Beach. Lastly we will have our annual hockey game on October 26th - Islanders vs. Rangers at UBS Arena. Please come out and support this great organization for any and all of these events. Again it will be Italian Heritage Month. I would like to thank the rest of the Columbia board for all the hard work everyone does all year round, to make these events happen. I know it is not easy, but we always manage to have great success for all of our events. In addition, I would also like to thank the membership, because without you, we would not have an organization. A special thanks to our Columbia President Anthony Burgio. I salute you for always putting Columbia first, as I know your days are long and the phone keeps ringing. On Behalf of the Columbia board and its members, we support you Mr. President. Keep up the good work and thank you again!
