It was with great PRIDE and Honor to have been with NJ Foundation Chairman Lou Santoro and Vice President Andy Simone and to honor these great Italian American students with scholarships towards their education and not only their future, but ours as well. These kids are the future, and the world is their canvas to paint!

, , , , Sons and Daughters of Italy in America,

An accomplishment!!!!!!! Congrats! The Best is yet to come!

50 years looks good on Marlton Lodge #2315! 🎉

Chartered on June 7, 1974 with 25 members, the Marlton Lodge has only grown in members and influence.

"Culture, Community and Commitment" is their motto, having served South Jersey in the town of Marlton, Evesham Township, Burlington County and the state of New Jersey in promoting Italian Culture, the betterment of local, regional and state communities and a commitment to supporting various charities. ❤️

Over the 50 years, the Lodge has donated over $180,000 to Educational Scholarships, Cooley's Anemia, Arthritis Foundation, Alzheimer's Association, The Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation and many local food banks, homeless shelters, Yellow Ribbon Club, food, clothing and toy drives.

One of Marlton Lodge's proudest achievements was having Italian added to the course offerings for language at Cherokee High School. Requiring much diligence in petitioning, speaking with community and educational leaders and promoting the Italian culture in the community. The Lodge maintains connections with the school's Italian club. 🇮🇹

The Lodge maintains monthly events and activities for members including Italian Wine Tasting, Scholarship BBQ, Phillies Games, Speakers from the local area, two Bocce teams in the local league, a Meatball Competition, Tombola and Italian Trivia events, and supports the NJ Grand Lodge and other state lodge's events.

We're proud to celebrate Marlton Lodge's 50 years of community, culture, and family. 🥂

THANK YOU for a wonderful night in Jersey City. On behalf of myself and 1st Vice President Tony Cipriano we would like to thank Father Victor R. Yanitelli Lodge 2847 for their kindness and hospitality upon swearing in their new officers, last evening. Congratulations to all!
