Ida Como had the honor of hosting the Columbian Lawyers Association of Queens 71st Annual Christmas Luncheon. Although it was a little different then the normal celebration, as President of the Association, she made the decision to have a virtual event and I must say we are glad we did it! Although we were unable to be together physically we found a way, as Italians do, to share our sentiments and feel United. We must try to keep our traditions and our heritage as prevalent as possible! Auguri to all of our honorees and the scholarship recipients and thank you to all who helped make it a success!

Wishing all you ghouls, ghosts and goblins a safe Halloween!

"Columbus's historic voyage ushered in a new age, and since, the world has never been the same. His journey opened the door for generations of Italian immigrants who followed his path across an ocean in pursuit of the promise of America. Like Columbus, these immigrants and their descendants have shaped the place where they landed. Italian Americans have enriched our culture and strengthened our country. They have served with honor and distinction in our Armed Forces, and today, they embrace their rich heritage as leaders in our communities and pioneers of industry." --President Franklin D. Roosevelt
