Italian Immigration to Beacon
September Meeting: Si sono stabiliti a Beacon! All are invited to attend our September meeting for what promises to be an interesting program on Italian Immigrants who settled in what is today Beacon. Trustee Patrick Miskell will present the story of the Italians like Mike Spino who forged the American dream in the streets of our community – many of them in the west-end neighborhoods later lost to Urban Renewal. We meet September 22 at 7 p.m. at the Elks Club (900 Wolcott Avenue). Evviva!
