The Daughters of Isabella–Madonna Della Difesa Circle held their annual banquet and dance to raise funds for the needy. The organizer of the event which was held at Buffet Durante, Mrs. Adele Masi handed me a Mission Statement of the organization and the following is an excerpt from the book: The Order of the Daughters of Isabella is a charitable organization of practicing Catholic women founded on the principle of its motto:  Unity, Friendship, and Charity. We come together as a sisterhood to uphold the teachings of the Catholic Church, bringing spiritual benefits to our members and contributing to the common good of humanity. By our faith we are called to serve, inspired and challenged, to do God's work. We are committed to foster individual participation by way of mutual understanding, charitable activities and social interaction as we strive for the development of all that is best and truest in womanhood, We emerge in our communities as a positive influence to uphold the high ideals of life and morals.
