About us
Our club is a non-profit Italian heritage club founded February 15th 1941 by a group of Alamedans who could trace their roots to Alpicella Italy. Throughout the years club members have enjoyed the benefits of being in a family social club. They have worked hard to support and advance the club’s stated purposes of cultivating and maintaining friendship, unity, and good will among all of the Club’s members and their extended families. Members enjoy fantastic dinners, compete with other clubs in bocce and golf, and form long lasting connections with others in their community.
