Ninety members and guests had a St Joseph Luncheon at DaVinci's Tuesday, the day of the Italian's Patron Saint. Red was the color of the day and a token Fava bean, blessed by Fr. Chuck from the San Marco Catholic Church, was given to everyone.

The legend of the blessed fava bean for Italians holds that as long as you have one you will never go hungry. Darren Palumbo from the City and Luigi Carvelli were there. Carvelli was presented with a plaque for the significant donation the Carvelli group gave to the city to renovate the bocce courts. The IAS uses the courts for all their bocce needs as well as other organizations on the island.
