Let me take you back to April, 1961. A group of 19 visionary Italian immigrants gathered with a common goal in mind, to create a social club, a gathering place, a safe haven if you will, for the growing immigrant Italian population in the St. Catharines area. These founding members, some who are still with us, took a leap of faith that the Italian Community would band behind them and support their initiative.
