Mayor Jackie Veasy and Township Council used a portion of this week's Council Meeting to present an official proclamation recognizing October as Italian American Heritage Month!
Italian American Heritage Month helps celebrate the achievements of Italian Americans while honoring the rich history, language, and cultural traditions of Italy. Generations of Italian Americans have made countless contributions to our nation through business, education, public service, the arts, civic involvement, cuisine and so much more!
Mayor and Council also used the moment as an opportunity to spotlight the Sons of Italy Marlton Lodge 2315, with several members on hand to accept the proclamation.
Founded in 1974, The Marlton Sons and Daughters of Italy has worked for decades as a social, cultural and philanthropic organization to preserve Italian American traditions, culture, history and heritage. The organization is also well known for being strong supporters of many local community events and charities.
Thank you again to the group’s members for helping make Evesham a stronger, more vibrant place to call home on behalf of Mayor Veasy, Evesham Township Deputy Mayor Heather Cooper, Evesham Councilwoman Dr. Krystal Hunter, Councilman Joe Fisicaro, Jr. and Councilman Christian Smith.
Finally, we remind everyone to mark their calendars for Evesham’s second-annual Italian American Heritage Street Festival coming up on Oct. 24 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Cooper Avenue! Join us for a fantastic day of authentic food, cultural performances, and community fun!
