Raising money for Earthquake Relief Fund

The Lowellville Italian Club is raising money for the Earthquake Relief Fund for the Abruzzo region of Italy that was devastated in August's record-breaking earthquake.  The Italian Club will be co-sponsoring a Spaghetti Dinner (Date TBD) in part with the Lowellville Mt. Carmel Italian Club.  Proceeds will be donated to La Croce Rossa, The Red Cross of Italy.  Our goal is to raise $1,000.  So far, we are almost 2/5 of the way there!  Please consider attending the Spaghetti Dinner to help us reach our goal.

Ciao!  Mi chiamo Ms. DiRienzo (Ms. D), and I am excited to return to Lowellville for my third year of teaching Italian.  I am originally from Pittsburgh, but a part of my family has lived in Lowellville since my grandparents immigrated to the US in 1954.  I received a Bachelor of Arts in Italian, a Bachelor of Arts in Music (with vocal emphasis), and a minor in Psychology from The Ohio State University.  I am greatly looking forward to a year of learning with you!  Look for Italian connections in your everyday life, and always gira al sole (turn to the sun.)
