CIAO - Carolina Italian American Organization
WHO WE ARE
CIAO is an active organization of people living on the coast, near the border of North and South Carolina, who like to have fun together and help charities in our community. Although we celebrate Italian heritage in America in many of our activities, we are open to all ethnic groups and in fact, have members from a wide variety of ethnic groups. Our major fundraiser is a golf tournament (see tab at left) whose proceeds go to veterans' causes.
In addition to the items on the calendar, we hold monthly ladies' lunches, dinners for all members at local restaurants, and meet at the Little River VFW bi-weekly for Pasta Night and other dinners. (The Little River SC VFW is located at 111 Highway 57 North, Little River, SC  29566  For directions to VFW call  (843) 399-0877 )

Next  Meeting August 22, 2010 at the VFW

What happens to the golf and other money?
