The Wilmington Sons and Daughters of Italy will be celebrating Italian Heritage Month in October with a number of events. The events will include a cooking demonstration, art history lecture, concert, car show and a golf outing, and many will take place at the Wilmington Memorial Library, located at 175 Middlesex Ave.

"These events have been extremely popular in the past and are always filled to capacity," Michele Caira Nortonen, the co-chair of the Italian Heritage Committee, told Patch. Nortonen continued: "By offering these events and activities to the public at large, residents have an opportunity not only to become familiar with the charitable works and social events of our lodge, but to become members. They need not be of Italian heritage to join, as all are welcome."
