Dear fellow members, friends of the Societa’ and supporters,

The Societa’s next General Membership meeting will be this Saturday September 16, 2023, at 12:30 P.M. at Villa Mosconi Restaurant 69 MacDougal Street. NY, NY 10012
Please text, call 201-481-1458 or email Sergio if you are attending so that we can give The Restaurant a head count by Tuesday September 12th.

We are getting close to the date that the Societa’ Val Trebbia and Val Nure is celebrating its 73 anniversary since its foundation in 1950 with our yearly annual awards dinner. The date is Sunday October 15, at Russo’s on The Bay in Queens, NY.

At the same time, we will also be celebrating our 54th annual scholarships awards ceremony.

Since 1971, when the Societa’ started the scholarship fund, we are proud to state that the society’ has awarded 534 scholarships to our members’ children going to college to further their education. This year we will be giving out another 8 scholarships to 8 wonderful students. What can we state that the founders of the scholarship fund, Frank and Paul, had a vision for our young Piacentini-Americani to get a college degree for a better future!.

We want to report that as of this year thanks to you and all o9f our past generous donors and supporters we have awarded over one million dollars’ worth of scholarships.

History has taught us many things, but most of all not to lose our Italian American and the Piacentino heritage that our grandparents and parents taught us while they were still with us. This organization will continue awarding scholarships and support education for our children with your continued monetary support and encouragement for many years to come.
