This past weekend Larie Tedesco, Barbara Desoto and I worked the geneaology
booth at the Kenner Festa Italiana. Larie and Barbara represented both the
CSBA and the Jefferson Genealogical Society. The Festa is a great outreach
event and I am always impressed with how many Usticesi descendants we meet and
help rediscover their heritage.
notice. I've really been swamped with life's distractions lately but I feel
events like this are essential to the CSBA mission and I want to take this oopportunity
to encourage others in our greater Usticesi community to get more involved in
your local activities like the festa. We all have a lot to contribute and the
organizers always need help and input to make improvements each year. Here
in the NO area, along with the Kenner Festa, we have the Kenner St Rosalie Procession
in September, NO St Lucy Feast day mass in December, the Columbus Day Festa
in Baton Rouge and the St Joseph days parades in NO and Metairie. I'll do my
best to organize the CSBA for these events. Please keep them in mind and think
about involving yourself and your families in these great heritage events.
