Nutley’s UNICO kept busy for month of March

March was a busy month for the Nutley chapter of UNICO. Nutley UNICO’s March meeting featured an Italian Jeopardy game, compliments of member Dan Marucci.

Marucci used interesting information about places in Italy, food, celebrities of Italian Heritage, etc. to create the Jeopardy categories, according to a press release from the organization. About 80 members and guests attended the March meeting held at Mamma Vittoria’s in Nutley.

Nutley UNICO members have a long-time tradition of marching in the Nutley St. Patrick’s Day Parade and did so again this year, the release said. UNICO National is the largest Italian American Service Organization in the USA celebrating 100 years of Service Above Self 1922-2022.

The Nutley Chapter of UNICO has been promoting and preserving its Italian Heritage since 1959.
