A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

Hello everyone, I hope you had a great September and enjoyed the last days of summer. Fall has officially begun. The days are getting shorter, leaves are falling, and we have Columbus Day and Halloween. Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October and is a Federal Holiday.  Many in the Italian American Community celebrate with parades and various festivities. Halloween is cloaked in mystery and superstition. It is thought that the veil between the world of the living and the dead becomes blurred.  The ancient Celts lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off roaming spirits. Over time Halloween evolved into a secular community-based celebration. Have a wonderful October! Stop by any time, my door is always open.
