Appian Club of Stoneham

The Appian Club of Stoneham is a nonprofit Italian American social club that preserves and promotes Italian language and culture north of Boston. Its stated purpose centers on family life, good character, generosity and kindness, and on members helping one another succeed. The club offers membership, social events, Italian language classes and opportunities to give back through charitable work, and it describes itself as proud to help propel the next generation.

The calendar is full of traditions. Members enter an annual wine competition and tasting featuring wines fermented in the old-world tradition, hit the links at a golf outing at Unicorn Golf Course and gather for a traditional porchetta party. The Ladies of the Appian Club host a Valentine’s fundraising dinner with music and dancing and a Hawaiian luau, and the year also brings a Mother’s Day brunch, a fall friendship event, a memorial service and a holiday party.
