Everyone Italian in America

As we at the National Council still do not believe giving any attention to negative stereotyping. We have again taken another step forward. Already this year we have created the Who's Who of Italians ( WWOI.ORG ) and now we have donated a flag Pole that memorializes first responders from September 11.

The Council ( a non- for - profit ) 50 year old Civil Service group catering to Columbia and Italian American Civil Service Groups. MAde history by installing the first flag in front of a public library on Staten Island. Honored Italian Americans in Civil Service and portrayed that we are not the negative imagine portrayed in the movies.

This venture ( while completely fuded by the council ) took over a year of red tape. Go Figure.
