LOCK HAVEN – Monday night was a night of giving for the Sons and Daughters of Italy, Lock Haven Lodge 146, providing checks for multiple area service organizations, part of $121,357 presented to 110 non-profits in the past year.

Lodge President Dan Vilello told the assemblage, “Thank you for your efforts in the community; keep up the good work and we’ll do what we can for you to meet your goals.”

Several dozen of the organizations were represented at the check presentation event and many spoke briefly, describing their work and thanking the Sons. They later gathered for a group picture with officers from Giosue Carducci Lodge #146.
