Each Spring, the Italian Home for Children will host a reception for the Board of Advisors to welcome new members, keep Advisors apprised of happenings at the Italian Home, and provide an opportunity for staff members to meet and interact with both Board of Directors and Board of Advisors.  For more information on the Board of Advisors, please contact Chipper Hoffman, Development Associate, at choffman@italianhome.org or 617-524-3116.
