Following a two-year hiatus thanks to the pandemic, Morris County Sons of Italy - Lodge 2561 once again held their Annual Basil Ricci Memorial Charity Golf Outing on Thursday, July 7 at Parsippany’s Knoll Country Club West.
The event, the compilation of a lot of hard work by many of the Lodge’s “golf committee” members was a huge success. 138 golfers came out on a gorgeous day to enjoy 18 holes on a premier course. The golf package included golf, cart, lunch, dinner, drinks, prizes and goodies!
Thanks to over fifty sponsors, and other generous donations, this successful fundraising event will benefit many worthwhile local charities and families. 100% of what the organization raises goes directly back to needy families as gift cards, and various local charities including, but not limited to, the Parsippany Food Pantry, High School Scholarships, the Valerie Fund, Alzheimer’s, and many more.
Congratulations to 1st Place Champions, with a score of 65 (M.O.C.), Nick Aemisegeo III, Mike Landi, Nick Aemisegeo IV, and Jess Reich. A shamble format was used during the event. In second place, also with a 65 were Mike Fazzio, Jerry Fazzio, Tom Shuman, and Brad Dragon. Longest Drive on the Women Hole (#10) was Susan Fadem, while Matt Siegrist walked away with the Closest to the Hole on #17. Longest Drive Men’s Hole (#18) went to Brad Dragone. That is some excellent golf!
Post-game activities included a delicious dinner prepared by the Knoll catering staff, over one hundred prizes were won, and a 50/50 raffle left one incredibly lucky winner a happy man. It could not have gone better!

Parsippany Wallenberg Remembrance 2022
Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio proclaimed Sunday, July 31 to be Raoul Wallenberg Day. He encourages all citizens to foster the message of Courage and Compassion.
Raoul Gustaf Wallenberg (born August 4, 1912, disappeared January 17, 1945) was a Swedish architect, businessman, diplomat, and humanitarian. He is widely celebrated for saving tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary during the Holocaust from German Nazis and Hungarian Fascists during the later stages of World War II. While serving as Sweden’s special envoy in Budapest between July and December 1944, Wallenberg issued protective passports and sheltered Jews in buildings designated as Swedish territory.
During the ceremony Artist Dr. Edward M.Adams addressed the audience and explained how he was the fortunate artist chosen to fulfill the vision

of the committee determined to pay homage to a man who helped save over 100,000 lives, Raoul Wallenberg. The design of the sculpture began as an idea and grew into a 12-inch model shown to the selection committee. Once commissioned, it matured into a thirteen foot fabricated bronze sculpture weighing over 1500 pounds. Today, Courage and Compassion is one of 31 Wallenberg monuments in twelve countries on five continents.
Raoul Wallenberg statue at the corner of Baldwin Road and Route 46 was originally dedicated in June 1998
