italian language in italy: The Burlington Sons of Italy Scholarship Fund Grows

One of the many traditions of the Burlington Sons of Italy is to regularly support its High School Scholarship Fund. On Thursday May 4th at the scholarship luncheon held at the Boston Marriott Burlington, President Don McGowan of the Burlington Sons of Italy Lodge 2223, presented a check for $2,000 to Mr. Thomas Imbriglio, Director of Guidance at Burlington High School. The money was the result of a successful dinner/dance and entertainment evening held in early April.

The maintenance of this fund has always been a priority of the order and has received the full support of officers and members. It is but one way the order continues to support connections with and an appreciation of the Italian language and culture and to assist deserving and promising high school seniors to continue their education.

A senior will be chosen this year from students who have shown an interest in the Italian language and culture and who have excelled academically. Mr. Imbriglio will confer with Mr. McGowan and members of the Sons of Italy in order to make a final selection. A decision will shortly be made and the successful candidate will be presented with a check by President McGowan at the graduation ceremony.
