Our name, "Mille Cugini" translated means "Thousand Cousins" and we demonstrate this feeling of family as part of our heritage in how we welcome members and guests.
Our former meeting location, the "Red Barn" at Jennings Park in Marysville, has been moved!

We meet in the Marysville Historical Society museum. Click here for a map and directions.

We meet each third Wednesday of the month at about 6:15 p.m. so we can visit and get everything ready for the meeting and dinner (there are a couple of exceptions).

We have dinner and socializing at 6:30. The meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. We would love to have you visit. Guests are always welcome and are never asked to bring anything to the dinner or for the raffle. However, if you would like to bring your favorite dessert or salad you are most welcome to do so. Raffle gifts are usually small, fun items. Bring one if you like. Be sure to buy raffle tickets for a chance to win something to take home and contribute to our operating expenses and charities.

Last March, our newest member, Denise Cavallo, went to Disneyland with her son and daughter-in-law, Tom and Candace Centanni, and Natalie, her 5-year-old granddaughter. Natalie is a big Star Wars fan. She bravely held hands with the Wookie Warrior, Chewbacca, making it quite a special moment for her, as well as seeing all her favorite Star Wars characters in real life! Making positive family memories like this is what helps to bond us together for life.

Join our lodge and help us think of new events!

The Sorticulture Event was a huge Success!
June, 2023 - Our first-time fundraiser at Sorticulture in Everett was a huge success! MANY thanks to everyone’s hard work on the three days of the Garden Arts Festival in early June and the several months leading up to it. We had two booths side-by-side. One selling sausage sandwiches or “grinders” and one selling plants and raffle tickets for eight baskets full of great garden-themed items, and Don Maile’s hand-crafted live edge table! Rebecca Helling designed and ran the plant booth with several volunteers. Patrick Jacoby organized an efficient kitchen in a 10’x 10’ pop-up that cranked out our excellent meals for the crowd. Despite the rain, members from other lodges, John & Shirley Partridge, Dot & Dick Whitney, Linda Ander- son & Rosetta Beyersdorf supported us by coming for lunch, as well as Bill & Jackie Haberstock from the Cataldo lodge in Bremerton, who also brought us a cooler with homemade cannoli and filling for our after-event enjoyment! Dave and Judi Dellino came with Mary Dellino, who helped sell raffle tickets for our garden booth. Frank Dellino also came and supported us.

Our Fundraiser at the Marysville Strawberry Festival
June, 2022 - With leadership provide by Paula Jacoby and help from many members and friends, and despite the wettest Marysville Strawberry Festival in memory, our Mille Cugini booth event is counted as a huge success! We learned so much and had a blast at the same time. We didn't net a huge return on our effort but we did get enough to provide for our charities this fall. We expect to have an easier time next year, garner a bit more cash for our charities, and have even more fun. Thank you to everyone who help!
