OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The Amerigo Vespucci Society exists to gather Italian Americans along with lovers
of Italian culture to celebrate and preserve our heritage with honor and integrity.
The Amerigo Vespucci Society has 2 types of memberships:

Regular membership is for those who are Italian by birth, descent, adoption or marriage.
These members have full voting privileges and can be elected to the Council.

Social membership is for those who do not meet the qualifications for regular membership
but have a love for Italian people, culture, and traditions. Social members cannot vote on
matters of policy nor can they be elected to the Council.

Family Membership is $75.00 annually and includes children under 18.
Single Membership is $50.00 annually and is for one person.
Membership is renewed yearly.

All memberships will be reviewed by the Council. Membership can be denied or revoked according to
the Constitution and By-Laws of the Amerigo Vespucci Society.

The Amerigo Vespucci Society is a private non-profit corporation of the State of Tennessee.
