Italian Americans Wanted!

A.O.I.A. Online Social Club... Anyone that would like to join my online web ring "A.O.I.A." can e-mail me. We circulate e-mails on all issues past, present, and future with regards to the Italian American community. A.O.I.A. stands for "American Of Italian Ancestry." We are all Americans, but keeping the cultural branch of our family tree is very important to me. As an American Of Italian Ancestry, I am constantly trying to incorporate something Italian into my daily life. Whether it's food, music, movies, sports, clothes, cars, you name it. If it's a person, place, or thing that has roots from the boot, I am interested in learning about it and discussing it. That's what makes you the ultimate Italian American in this melting pot of America. You don't have to be first generation Italian or speak the language fluently to be an Italian American. If you look and feel and act Italian American, you are one in my eyes. Don't be a dry as toast meddigan (an American who denies anything ethnic). Instead of an apple pie, go for a ricott' cheesecake. Instead of a meatloaf, have a meatball.
