Take A Moment To Thank A Veteran
When you see someone in a uniform
Someone who serves us all,
Doing military duty,
Answering their country’s call,
Take a moment to thank them
For protecting what you hold dear;
Tell them you are proud of them;
Make it very clear.
Just tap them on the shoulder,
Give a smile, and say,
"Thanks for what you’re doing;
To keep us safe in the USA!"
By Joanna Fuchs

North Haven Sons & Daughters of Italy Lodge #2805 was established in the State of Connecticut on January 11, 2004.  Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA) have a total of 17 filial lodges in the state, and hundreds more throughout the United States and Canada with over 600,000 family members.  Our lodge has already grown to over 275 members!

The OSIA promotes the Italian American culture and heritage, by sponsoring local charities and social events, fighting stereotyping in the media, providing college scholarship opportunities at the local, state and national level, as well as many other activities within each lodge.  The organization is involved in many charitable organizations through the OSIA Foundation which contributes hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to Cooley’s Anemia, Coaches for Cancer, and Alzheimer’s medical research.

The filial lodges are made up of a variety of people, MEN & WOMEN.  Of course the majority of the members are of Italian Heritage or those lucky enough to be married to an Italian American.  However, there are many social members of all nationalities. 

One of the fundamental ideals of the Order Sons of Italy in America is the celebration and sharing of our rich cultural heritage.  We believe in the North Haven Sons & Daughters of Italy Lodge #2805 that the best way to proclaim this is by our active and charitable involvement in our local communities.  To give you a brief understanding of what we wish to accomplish as a lodge I have provided the Guiding Principals that our lodge has adopted.  We hope you enjoy your visit to our web site, and if you are interested in joining us as a member or guest at an upcoming meeting contact our membership chairperson.

Neil A. Velleca Jr., President
