CIIAC Annual Gala Highlights 2011

The Center for Italian & Italian American Culture (CIIAC) holds an Annual Gala to honor individuals and families that strive to preserve, protect and celebrate their rich Italian Heritage.

The honorees for 2011 were:
Man of the Year - Domenick Cama COO Investors Bank
Woman of the Year - Karen Giannelli, Esq.
Lifetime Achievement Award - Peter Cocoziello, Sr.

Every year the event is much- anticipated, but this year was truly spectacular! This black tie affair took place on Friday, November 18th, 2011 at The Villa in Mountain Lakes, NJ. The elegant evening began with a fabulous cocktail hour followed by a gourmet dinner, then an added bonus, an amazing performance by Micheal Castaldo.

Mr. Castaldo is an award-winning songwriter, producer and recording artist. His performance of his original #1 Amazon Hit "Pray'r", brought the audience to tears! Also, in attendance was Cara DiFalco from News 12 New Jersey, representing Italians in her industry.

A wonderful evening had by all!

Rosanna Imbriano (CIIAC Marketing Director)
