Members of the Connecticut Grand Lodge joined fellow leaders from across the country in Washington, D.C. on May 28 for two meaningful events celebrating Italian American heritage, leadership, and education.

We were honored to take part in the ribbon cutting and unveiling of the restored Columbus Fountain alongside leadership from the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America, national officials, and international dignitaries, marking the return of this iconic landmark after nearly two decades.

The Connecticut Grand Lodge also attended the 37th Annual National Education & Leadership Awards (NELA), hosted by the Sons of Italy Foundation, celebrating outstanding leadership and supporting continued investment in education and opportunity for future generations.
