Italiano With Jodina

The Sons of Italy LaCosta Dei Fiori lodge is having their 31st Anniversary Dinner Dance on October 24, 2009, at St. John ‘s Church, located at 1001 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas, Calif.

Dinner, including a hosted bar, is just $45. Entertainment will be provided by a strolling accordion player as well as a 5-piece band playing Italian songs and other dance music.

This Year’s Ceremony Honoring:
Boys and Girls Club Community Leader, Patrick Casinelli – 2009 Italian American of the Year
O.S.I.A. Grand Lodge President of California, Maria Fassio Pignati – 2009 Leadership Award

Dunque, it is Saturday, and my Italian Conversation & Culture Class 8-week series kick off this coming week.  I am molto felice to announce that enough students have enrolled to learn Italian language and Italian culture that classes will be starting as planned!

There are still a few spots left in each location–and anyone who contacts me and mentions this blog post will still receive the special price of $110 instead of $140 to enroll in the Italian class and learn practical Italian conversation and Italian culture through Italian music, Italian film, Italian food, and more!

The North County San Diego Italian classes meet in Carlsbad, starting October 13, for 8 Tuesdays, from 7-9 pm. The Escondido location Italian classes begin October 14,  for 8 Wednesdays, from 7-9 pm.  More info, click here.

This Sunday marks the 15th annual San Diego Festa Italiana in Little Italy. Now, the Little Italy Festa is known to be one of the largest single-day Italian American festivals West of the Mississippi. The Little Italy community now welcomes over 100,000 attendees with the tantalizing smells of Italian sausage and the glamour of the Italian culture, music & art. More info, click here.
