| Welcome
to the website of the Italian Club of Seattle! We invite you to
explore our site to learn the history of this great organization,
to read about the many activities in which you can participate,
and to see how you and your family can become members.
The
Italian Club has been in existence for almost ninety years. When
it was originally founded, it was an organization of Italian immigrants,
primarily in the professions, who wanted to network and do business
together. More >>
Today, the Italian Club welcomes members of all ages, nationalities
and backgrounds. All that is required is a desire to socialize with
folks who have an interest in "things Italian," i.e.,
Italian food, Italian wine, Italian music, art and culture. Many
of our members are 3rd and 4th generation immigrants from all over
the United States and they bring a diverse collection of Italian-American
experiences to the organization. More

The Italian Club meets at the Our Lady of Mt. Virgin Church,
2800 S. Massachusetts St., Seattle, WA 98144, on the second
Thursday of each month at 6PM. Prior to the meeting, there is a
delicious buffet supper - with wine for adults - at the nominal
price of $5 per person. The Club also presents a monthly businessperson's
luncheon with outstanding guest speakers at the Rock Salt Restaurant
on Lake Union on the third Wednesday of each month. Price including
tax and gratuity is $18. More >>
The Italian Club host an entire year of activities for all age
groups, everything from a Golf Tournament and a Day at Emerald Downs
to Halloween & Christmas parties for the children of members.
