We held a special online celebration for our 55th birthday!
The Kelowna Canadian Italian Club is 55 years old! And much as we would have loved to get together to celebrate our birthday, we were unable to. So we planned a special Online Event...
Our 55th “Zoom-iversary” was held Tuesday, March 9th from 7 to 8:30 pm. We looked back over the past 5 and a half decades at some special memories and some very good friends of ours. We received some messages of congratulations from a few special guests. And we looked forward to our Club plans for the next year and beyond.
We also introduced Il Nostro Lascito/Our Legacy Project.
