Vice PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

A Note from KCIC Vice President

MESSAGE FROM OUR VICE-PRESIDENT

A message from Vice-President Anna Vigilante
​
Happy New Year   -   Buon Anno !
I am honored to have been elected Vice President of the Kelowna Canadian Italian Club and particularly in this very special milestone year 2026.  The club will be celebrating our Diamond - 60 years of bringing Italian culture, traditions and festivities to the Kelowna Community.  I often wonder if our founding Father's and Mother's imagined that this club would still be in existence 60 years on.  I would like to pay homage to the countless hours of dedication, hard work and passion offered by past and present members that has allowed our club to succeed for 60 Years.    Well Done - Bravissimi !   Stay tuned for information regarding the Upcoming Gala Celebration in October 2026.  

Welcome to the newly elected board members, sincere thanks to the executive, board members and trustees that still have time left on their term and heartfelt thanks to retiring board members, trustees and committee heads.  Volunteerism is the backbone of any club - Thank You - Mille Grazie to everyone for bringing your expertise and time for the benefit of our club. 

I am hopeful that we as a club can increase the participation of younger generations.  Moving forward, I welcome new ideas and conversations on how we can best improve and expand our membership base.  
​
Wishing you all a most wonderful start to 2026. 
​
Tanti Auguri a Tutti.
