VOL. 114 - NO. 41 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, OCTOBER 8, 2010 $.30 A COPY Happy Columbus Day October Italian Heritage Month Kick-off Event October 12, 2010 (Observed October 11, 2010) America — Land of Dreamers

The year was 1492. A young man from Genoa, Italy, Cristoforo Colombo, was convinced a route to the Far East could be found by sail- ing West and he wanted a chance to prove it. Many thought he was a dreamer. Luckily he was able to per- suade others and turned his dream into a reality. In the years that followed, America became a melting pot for people who, like Columbus, had a dream and were willing to take a chance on what they believed in. The English, the French, the Jews, the Irish, the Italians, and countless others, all came seek- ing the freedom to make their own decisions and to have the opportunity to make their dreams a reality. They wanted the best of both worlds and got it. These people were proud to call them- selves Americans and equally proud to hold on to the traditions of their homeland. Where else but in America would this be possible? Five hundred and eighteen years later, we salute the man who took a chance — Christopher Columbus. A man who was a model for future explorers to emulate. We are the product of all the Christopher Columbuses that came before us. We are Americans — the envy of other nations — where oppor- tunities are boundless for every person. Some call America, the On Friday, October 1, 2010 the October Italian Heritage Month Committee held a “Land of Dreamers.” We’re not offended by this. Instead, we’re kick-off celebration at the Massachusetts State House. Many members of the proud to be able to dream and, like Columbus, make our dreams committee along with Italian organizations and dignitaries attended the event. October come true!
