A Bit About UNICO . . .

Over the course of the sunny, summer days at the Festa Italiana last year, UNICO National was introduced to Portland. Dr. Nicholas D'Amico, visiting from California, spent his two days in Portland informing the community about the largest Italian-American Service Organization in the United States. He stated that as the Western Expansion Director for the organization, his hope was to see a UNICO Chapter in the Northwest. He was recruiting in Seattle as well. Since then, a dynamic group of people in Portland have come together to help make this a reality.
