Words from !r President
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope
everyone enjoyed this mild winter and are
looking forward to this upcoming spring
season.
!
I was proud this past February to
play host to one of National Plenary
Session. The meeting was held here in
Baltimore on Feb. 10th and 11th. At the
meeting we came up with a new
membership fundraiser. For every member
you sponsor, and that is accepted by the
local lodge during this time frame, you get
one chance per new member in the
drawing for the trip for two to Italy. More
details will be included later in this issue. I
would like to thank Tony and the Little
Italy Lodge for graciously inviting the
National Delegation and me to their
weekly Friday night dinner. Everyone had a
great time and enjoyed the experience. It
was a great way for the National
Representatives to see what Maryland’s
local lodges are all about.
executive board to participate and help
install their new officers and members for
2012.
!
Throughout the year I would like to
encourage all our members and local lodges
to keep in mind our three charities in
which we sponsor, Autism, Alzheimer's,
and Cooley’s Anemia. We will be accepting
donations all year round and hope to make
this year a huge success.
!
Finally I like to wish everyone a
Blessed and Happy Easter.
!
!
Fraternally,
!

Vince Zaccaria

!
State President
!
This summer The Grand Lodge is
hoping to put together a Crab Feast for all
members throughout the state of
Maryland.

I would like to thank the local
lodges who have invited me and my fellow
President Vince Zaccaria laying a
wreath at the Columbus Day Parade

A L asting Tribute…
A F itting Honor…
Honor a loved one’s memory or celebrate a special occasion
by making a memorial or tribute gift in their honor to the
Sons of Italy Foundation.
Whether you are fulfilling a family member’s wish to support the Sons of Italy or surprising a friend
with a gift that truly embraces the meaning of giving, a donation to the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) is
an easy and meaningful way to do good while honoring someone special.
Your donation in honor of another person is the gift that keeps giving, because it is applied to the SIF’s
charitable programs that make a lasting impact on those who need it most… a bright student who can
further his education thanks to a Sons of Italy scholarship, a victim of natural disaster who is given a
second chance, or a family relying on research into new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. These are
just a few examples of the power of your donation.
Memorial gifts may be made in honor of someone who has passed away. If you wish, a gift
notification may be sent to a person you designate.
Tribute gifts may be made for any occasion – or no occasion at all! Birthdays, anniversaries,
graduations, even Christmas, are all perfect opportunities to make a tribute gift to someone who
is proud of his or her Italian heritage, is charitable…or simply has it all. If you wish, the person
you are honoring will be notified of your gift.
Memorial and Tribute gifts may be made online or through the mail. Visit WWW.OSIA.ORG
or complete and return this Memorial & Tribute Gift form (see reverse) to make your donation.
The gift honoree or designee can be notified by e-card (fastest method) or by mail*.
Memorial and Tribute gift donations are 100% tax-deductible. You may make a Memorial
or Tribute gift with a donation of any amount to any or all Sons of Italy Foundation funds.
Donations of $200 or more will be acknowledged with a confirmation letter. All donations
made online (regardless of amount) are acknowledged with an email receipt.
*Please allow up to 5 days for e-card notifications to be sent, and at least 7 days for mail notifications to be sent.
If you are making your gift through the mail, rather than online, please note that processing the gift and
notifications may take longer.

Spotlight-On
Italian Americans Innovators
Chef Boyardee, the man behind the nation's leading brand of spaghetti dinners,
pizza mix, sauce and pasta, was really Ettore Boiardi, an Italian immigrant
from Emilia Romagna. Boiardi, who began as a chef's apprentice at age 11,
eventually opened a restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio in 1924 and began packaging
pasta and sauce for his customers to take home. In the 1930s, he began selling
his pasta and sauce in cans. A food distributor convinced him to change the
spelling of his name to make it easier for Americans to pronounce. During World
War II, the company was the largest supplier of rations for the U.S. and Allied
Forces.
Mr. Peanut and the Planters Peanut Company were created by Amedeo
Obici and Mario Peruzzi, two Italian immigrants. Obici, who came to
America from Oderzo in 1889, began selling five-cent bags of peanuts on
the street. In 1897, he took Peruzzi as his partner. By 1930, the two had
four huge factories, and raked in over $12 million annually. Today the
Planters Peanut Company has over 5,000 employees.
Mr. Coffee, the best-selling coffee maker in the world, was invented by
Vince Marotta, who also developed a better way extract oil from coffee
t l n
beans and invented the paper coffee filter. Since 1972, moreF than

The cough drop was created by Vincent R.
Ciccone, who began his career in the 1930s
as a janitor at the Charms Candy Co. and
retired as the company's president and chief
executive officer. Ciccone secured 20
patents, including the "Blow Pop," a lolly
pop with a bubble gum center. He died at
age 81 in 1997.
