The Italian Genealogy and Heraldry Society of Canada celebrated its 21st anniversary on November 6th with a wine and pizza dinner at Paglione Estate Winery near Harrow Ontario. Winery owners and hosts Sam and Nancy Paglione served up the best brick oven pizza and quality wines we have ever had. The Paglione Estate Winery is now the official winery of the Society!

First Annual “Festa dei Nonni” a Success
Last Friday, September 11, 2009, our society held its first annual Festa dei Nonni or “Grandparents Day Celebration”. This was a family dinner fundraiser that featured a buffet style dinner, family history displays, door prizes and a grand prize raffle. The Leamington Italian Choir sang a few old fashioned Italian songs for us. A good time was enjoyed by all. Be sure to attend our next Festa dei Nonni to be held at the Ciociaro Club on Sunday, October 3, 2010. See you there!
