Exploring our Heritage and Keeping with Traditions

Presidents Message

February 3, 2025
Buon Anno! As we welcome a new year, we wish you and your loved one’s joy, health, and prosperity.
Our Vallelonghese community has always been a beacon of togetherness, a gathering of voices and hearts, dedicated to celebrating our shared roots, vibrant culture, and cherished traditions.
It takes a village, after all, to keep the spirit of Vallelonga alive and together we make that village thrive.
This year our membership fee remains at $50.00. This is an investment in our traditions and activities that keep us connected. Your membership supports events, initiatives, and opportunities to strengthen our Calabrese community and beyond.
We are excited to announce our upcoming events, including our much-anticipated Annual General Meeting (AGM), our Festa della Madonna Di Monserrato in July and San Martino Dinner in November.
The AGM on Sunday March 2nd, 2025, will provide an opportunity to reflect on our accomplishments, introduce the executive committee and share the Vallelonga vision of the future. All are welcome to attend and please consider being active as a Board Director participant. We always welcome the voices of our fellow Vallelonghese. The AGM itinerary will also include discussions on encouraging the involvement of our Vallelonghese youth, whose energy and ideas are vital to evolving this club into a positive, plentiful, and progressive place. Your involvement is key. Your ideas, feedback and participation are what make our club flourish.
Women Wednesdays will return for another exciting year, running weekly from 4:00pm to 9:00pm for a "loonie a lady" (un dollaro una donna). This series continues to highlight the history, heritage, and celebrations of the Vallelonghese women through crafts, conversations, and camaraderie. We invite everyone to join us for these exciting gatherings.
To sustain and grow our social club, we need your support through advertisements, donations, and active membership. Your contributions enable us to host events and programs that bring us together each month.
By coming together, we keep the doors open allowing our community to continue to thrive!
As we embark on this new year, let us continue to honour our traditions while embracing fresh ideas for the future.
Whether through monthly events, like our past 'spezzatinu' and sausage fest Sunday, youth involvement or simply sharing your presence, passion, and storytelling of your via in Vallelonga, you play a vital role in making the Club Vallelonga Monserrato a vibrant hub of culture and connection. Together, we celebrate the voices, views, venues and vivacity that define our Vallelonghese spirit.
Let's make 2025 a year of unity, growth and celebration.
VIVA VALLELONGA!
Con gratitudine e Auguri
