The Fountain Hills Italian Club proudly celebrated its 5th Anniversary with an unforgettable evening of friendship, family, and community spirit. Members gathered alongside President Steve Baggio, the Mayor and his wife, and special guests to honor five years of bringing people together through Italian culture, traditions, and service. The celebration was made even more meaningful as the club also recognized the 97th birthday of beloved member Lolita. More than a social organization, the Fountain Hills Italian Club continues to thrive as a close-knit family built on shared values, lasting friendships, and a commitment to enriching the Fountain Hills community. Through laughter, memories, and heartfelt appreciation, the evening reflected everything that makes the club such a special part of local life.

And so the selection of an official Italian Sister City begins! We had a fantastic meeting with representatives from our club and Fountain Hills Sister Cities.
