La Lumera is the annual magazine of Club Vallelonga-Monserrato, created to celebrate, preserve, and share the history, traditions, and community spirit of the club and its members.

Recaps and photos from San Martino, Festa della Madonna, and all major gatherings of the year.

La Lumera provides local businesses, community members, and supporters of the club with an opportunity to reach our readership and give back to the community at the same time.
La Lumera is distributed to members and their families — a loyal, tight-knit readership that actively supports the businesses that support them.

We are always looking for local businesses to partner with us in bringing our community traditions to life. Whether it's our annual San Martino Dinner Dance, our summer Festas, or any of our cherished gatherings — there are meaningful ways to contribute and be recognized.
Sponsor traditional Italian dishes, antipasto, or a full catered course for one of our signature events.
Provide zeppole, pastries, torte, fresh fruits, or a dessert spread — a beloved tradition at nearly every CVM celebration.
Sponsor wine, soft drinks, or bar service for an evening — a contribution felt by every guest at the table.
Help us create a beautiful atmosphere with centrepieces, arrangements, or full event décor.
Donate products, gift cards, or prizes to be presented to our guests throughout the evening — including raffle prizes for our Festa della Madonna di Monserrato.
Capture memories for our community — photos that live in La Lumera and the hearts of our members for years to come.
All sponsors are acknowledged by name at the event, featured in our La Lumera magazine, and celebrated as proud supporters of Italian-Canadian heritage in Toronto. Your contribution directly helps us continue traditions that have brought families together for over 50 years.
