History: |
The
North Central Washington Lodge
actually was the wonderful offshoot
of a fall car ride to find some
good, fresh Washington apples. Dorothy (Miori) Whitney and her
husband Dick were out looking for
apples the fall of 2001. They found
themselves near Pangborn Airport at
the orchard of Gerardo and Maryann
Recchia. Along with the aroma of
apples, Dorothy (being a good
Italian girl) recognized the scent
of tomato sauce cooking. She asked
Gerardo his last name. When he told
her Recchia, she asked if they were
related to the Seattle Recchias-no
relation, but the talk turned to
other Italians living in the area. After picnics, wine and cheese
parties, discussion about starting a
club or association for the new
Italian friends began. Dorothy and
Dick drew on their twelve years of
experience as lodge members of SOI
Lodge #1390 in Seattle, and the
group began forming their own lodge. Just over a year from the fortuitous
car ride, on November 16th, 2002 the
American Italian Club from Spokane
and SOI Lodge #1390 from Seattle
sponsored the induction of Lodge
#2797 at the 2002 Grand Lodge
convention held in Wenatchee. Our
four Founders were: Richard Garlini,
Jerry Pipitone, Gerardo Recchia, and
Dorothy Whitney. Proudly, forty-six
members were sworn in at the
induction ceremony that night. To
this day, we continue to grow,
evolve, and serve each other and the
community with the usual pride found
in our Italian culture and heritage. Written by Roberta Lazzarini. |
