| Membership Being part of the Daughters of Italy Lodge #2825 is a wonderful feeling of family. The members are comprised of women, both young and old, who have a warmness and friendship that envelope you in their embrace. Our love for our heritage bonds us together with a strong emotional tie that encourages others to share in that feeling. To join, you must be a female, 18 years or older; you must be of Italian ancestry or your spouse must be Italian, or your adoptive parents are Italian. You then become a REGULAR member. There are those women who love everything Italian but do not meet the above qualifications; in that case, you may still become part of the Daughters of Italy Lodge as a SOCIAL member. A majority of our members live full time in the Tampa Bay area; there are several who are winter visitors. All our members enjoy receiving Daughters of Italy's monthly newsletter along with the quarterly Florida Grand Lodge newspaper, "The Floridian," and the national OSIA magazine - "ITALIAN AMERICA" Our dues schedule is as follows: When joining during January - June: $45 + $10 one time application fee When joining during July - December: $22.50 + $10 one time application fee All Renewals are paid annually in January - $45 For additional information, please contact: Cathy Lazzizzera, Membership Chair 727-725-3108 Lazzizzera@aol.com or Vincenza DiLiberti, President 727-447-6890 727-455-1521 Cell vincenzad@verizon.net |
