D
ear Brothers and Sisters,
the month of May proved
to be especially busy for
the lodge and for your executive.
The Spaghetti Supper, held on
Wednesday, May 8th, was a
terrific success. The food was
delicious and the atmosphere
welcoming
and
jovial.
Congratulations to Co-Chairs
Br. Joe Mongiardi and Br. Tony
Giardino for organizing a successful event. The Spaghetti
Supper raised just over $4,000 for your beloved lodge; not too
bad for a $10 ticket. This event would not have been a success
without the support of all the volunteers and donors. The
greatest gratitude is reserved for all the members, family, and
Trieste Lodge friends that came out in support of the Spaghetti
Supper. Thank you!
The Order Sons of Italy Canada National Convention was held
from May 18th to 20th in Welland, Ontario. I would be remiss
if I did not thank the host lodge, Casa Dante, for a very well
run convention and for the wonderful hospitality extended to
all in attendance. As I stated, when thanking our hosts on the
final day, “a Casa Dante se mangia bene!” Congratulations
to National President Josie Cumbo and Trieste Lodge Past
Presidents Joe Monachino (1st National Vice-President),
Carm Filice (2nd National Vice President) and David Morganti
(National Orator) on being re-elected to another term; and to
Livio DiNello on being a newly elected Trustee on Grand
Council. I also wish to acknowledge and congratulate Brother
Bob Savelli, who was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the
Grand Lodge for his dedication to the Order Sons of Italy (see
article included in this month’s newsletter). Our lodge was
well represented by our delegates and I would like to extend
my thanks to our delegation for their strong participation at
JUNE 2013
the convention. Your delegation was instrumental in passing a
by-law allowing students under the age of 25 to join the Order,
with full rights and privileges, at no membership cost. The
Grand Council ultimately agreed with our assertion that we
must be progressive in our efforts to appeal to the younger
generation, for it is from their ranks that our leaders of
tomorrow will emerge.
The Centennial Discussion Meeting was held on Saturday, May
4th. A frank, vigorous discussion was had by all in attendance
regarding the future of Trieste Lodge. The discussions were
wide ranging in scope, but focal points were: the establishment
of a charitable foundation for the Trieste Lodge, a new lodge
building or community center, a political action committee to
address in part the internment, new membership recruitment
initiatives, and leveraging all our resources to achieve our
goals. More information will be forthcoming. I encourage
all members to become engaged in this discussion. In short,
we must ensure that as our lodge heads into the next century,
it is renewed and reinvigorated. This “Renaisance” is our
obligation to the future members of the Order Sons of Italy.
At the May general meeting, the Sons of Italy Hamilton Trieste
Lodge announced Mr. Fred Losani as the 2013 Order Sons of
Italy Italian-Canadian Citizen of the Year. Fred will be honoured
for his many contributions to our community at the Gala to
be held this fall on Saturday November 23rd, 2013 at Liuna
Gardens. Please mark your calendar accordingly. A profile
of Fred is provided on the following pages. Congratulations
to Fred Losani, and the Losani Family, on this well-deserved
award.
I once again wish to remind everyone of the event that
traditionally marks the end of our year before the summer
break – the Sons of Italy Annual Golf Tournament. This year’s
tournament, our 41st annual golf event, is set for Thursday, June
20th. Please see the enclosed article for further information.

Bob Savelli Receives
Award of Merit at
National Convention
Not only is it a fun fraternal event,
but much of the funds raised
through the tournament go to
benefit charity. The golf committee
is in need of additional golfers and
also of sponsors (contact Br. Frank
Merolli at 905-664-5088). Please
make an effort to attend, and/or to
reach out to friends and associates
that may wish to participate.
I wish to take a moment to thank
my executive for all the effort,
time and resources they donate
to our lodge throughout the year.
Often time is taken away from
their families so as to ensure we
all enjoy ourselves. Gentlemen,
thank you for your dedication to
our Order.
I look forward to seeing you all
at the next general meeting and
elections being held on Tuesday
June 11th, 2013. In closing, my
sincere wishes to you and your
families for a safe and enjoyable
summer.
Fraternally yours,
Guido Di Cesare
President
B
rother Savelli has been an active
member of the Trieste Lodge
since the year 2000. Not only has
his attendance at Lodge meetings and
events been exemplary, but his service
is distinguished. Bob has faithfully been

monthly newsletters, spending many
hours crafting his much enjoyed articles.
His profiles of fellow members, and
vignettes of his travels to Italy and other
filial lodges, illustrates our Order’s ideal

Italian culture. Bob is also an active
member of the Sons of Italy Choir, and

Sons Of Italy Hamilton FC
2013 Update
SON OF ITALY HAMILTON FC - 2013 UPDATE
Sons of Italy Hamilton FC became a reality in February of
2007, when the Hamilton District Oldtimers Soccer League
granted the Sons of Italy Trieste Lodge its first team. HDOTSL
is the largest Senior Men's league in North America with 42
teams across 4 divisions. In 2009, a formal constitution and
executive board was established to oversee the club's
expansion to include a second SOI FC team. The two teams
"Trieste" and "Roma" are named after the Sons of Italy
Lodges located in Hamilton, Ontario. In 2011, the club
expanded in an unexpected way to include a Ladies team
“Azzurre” In 2013 the club has welcomed an Over 25 team
men team called the Crusaders to join the organization.
Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Sons of Italy Hamilton Football Club to
provide a positive, competitive soccer experience for player
and coaches. To encourage and promote the game of soccer
within the City of Hamilton and the Order Sons of Italy
Canada We emphasize long-term player development and
team commitment. While winning is a priority in soccer,
winning will not be placed above good sportsmanship
(defined as respecting rules, opponents, officials, teammates,
and one’s self) or what is best for the team or any individual
athlete. We believe in sportsmanship and fair competition
and guide our actions based on the following principles:
1) Soccer means playing and playing means fun!
2) Being together with friends and family is most important!
3) Everyone is included as much as possible!
4) Win and lose with grace!
5) Respect for your teammates!
6) Respect the opponent and the referee!
7) Offer competitive and pleasurable soccer!
Proud Sponsors / Partners for 2013
The name Sons of Italy FC was selected for its simplicity. The acronym
FC for “Federazione Calcio” is synonymous with soccer and with great
soccer clubs around the world. The logo integrates a traditional shield
with imagery reflecting the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Sons of Italy
Golden Lion and the colours of the Italian Flag. The blue kits the
players wear connects us to the colours of the many famous National
Italian Soccer teams of the past. The SOI FC motto of "Friends, Family
and Fun" and pre game chant of "SOI, SOI, SOI!" truly reflect the team's
character that was developed during our inaugural season.
In September of 2009, the Sons of Italy FC sponsored and held the 1st
SOI FC Calcio Masters Cup with an annual Championship Game
between the Sons of Italy Trieste and Roma teams. In September 2012
partnering with Festitalia the tournament was expanded to include four
Seniors Men’s Soccer team and 2 ladies teams who play for the
Festitalia’s Sons of Italy Morganti-Giardino Calcio Master’s
Cup. The cup has been named in honour of two longtime Sons of Italy
members David Morganti and Tony Giardino. Both David and Tony are
avid sports enthusiasts and have been instrumental in their support
of SOI FC since its inception. In 2013, the tournament will expand to
include 8 Senior Teams, a ladies cup and an under 35 Division.

Spaghetti Dinner –
Another Success!
T
rieste Lodge held its annual
Spaghetti Dinner on Wednesday
May the 8th. The hall was full
from start till finish and the atmosphere
was tremendous. It was a great event
for the Lodge to share with our families
and friends. The event raised over
$4,000. Special thanks goes out to Joe
Mongiardi Tony Giardino and Loris
Pilot for their efforts to coordinate
such a successful event. Also gratitude
must be extended to the kitchen staff,
members of the executive, the McMaster
Italian Association and all those that
helped. The event could not have been
possible without the support of our
sponsors, Pat Demiglio from F&C Foods,
Carmelo Greco from La Bakeri, Frank
Longo from Longo’s Supermarket, and
Bonanza Bakery.
Member Highlights –
Livio DiNello

Sons of Italy 2013 Golf Classic LAST
Thursday, June 20th, 2013
C
ALL
T
he Sons of Italy is hosting our
41st Annual Golf Tournament
at Glendale Golf and Country
Club. For more than 40 years, the
Annual Charity Golf Classic has helped
our lodge raise thousands of dollars for
various charities. Without the dedication
of our volunteers, sponsors and golfers,
we could not have contributed to our
many worthwhile charities. This year’s
proceeds benefit the Juravinski Cancer
Centre Foundation. We hope you will
consider supporting our tournament
again by golfing, offering to be a sponsor
or donating a prize.
The cost of this year’s tournament is
$200 per golfer which includes lunch,
golf, cart, dinner and prizes. The cost
to attend the dinner only is $50 (dinner
to be held at Sons of Italy Hall). Hole
sponsorship is $150. Please make your
cheque payable to the
Sons of Italy. Thank you and we
look forward to seeing you in June!
