The New York State Order Sons of Italy Grand Lodge Foundation Inc. made their final installment of $40,000 on their $100,000 grant to the Italian American Museum for their new permanent exhibition, 'The Italian American Experience' which is scheduled to open Spring 2022 and will highlight the role of NYSOSIA in the community. This exciting commitment, which will allow OSDIA to have a permanent exhibition at the Museum, was made during President Ferrito’s Administration and it was my honor to fulfill the commitment.
