New Officers and Members at Wakefield Sons and Daughters of Italy

For the first time since the summer, the Wakefield Lodge met outside and in person for the May ceremonies initiating new members and installing new officers. It was a very happy gathering behind Laurie’s 909, although everyone was bundled in warm coats or under blankets. New members Vinny, Ellen, and Anita were officially initiated. The following officers were installed:

Paula Sasso, President

Laurie Rizzo, Vice President

Debbie Tremblay, Orator

Adriana Guida, Immediate Past President

Carolyn Faria, Recording Secretary

James Marino, Financial Secretary

Tracy Vincent, Treasurer

Rosemary Finn, Joanne Szczsuil, Alice Dailey, and Toni Encarnacao, Trustees

Pat Ectman, Mistress of Ceremonies

Diana Ayers, Guard

There was discussion about plans for the upcoming year. Activities, the Lodge's annual charity auction, and other fund raisers were presented for consideration. The lodge did a great job of staying connected and doing fun activities throughout the challenging pandemic year of 2020. Most members were able to remain safe and healthy, and all are grateful for that.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 8 in Stoneham (weather permitting). On the agenda for June is a casual barbeque. Please contact President Paula for information attending or about joining the Lodge at wakefieldosia@gmail.com.
