Now that fall has arrived, it’s time to get ready for all the upcoming holiday festivities. Before we start talking about candy corn, stuffing, and egg nog, however, let’s talk about this month’s celebratory theme: October is a time when we collectively honor Italian American culture in our nation and the many contributions of Italians to the fabric of our society. Our calendar this month is chock full of cool events, so check us out at the Little Italy Dog Park. And you can help to support our efforts in the community by visiting our espresso bar at Amici House. Come for a cup of amazing coffee, stay for lunch, get some work done, or just relax under the trees in the idyllic park setting. Your support helps to fund our arts, culture, and education programs and helps unshel-tered and at-risk youth at Washington Elementary, our charitable partner in the neighborhood. We will see you at Amici House!

October Events
