The Cepranese Club picnic is back after taking a two-year break. Set for Sunday, August 7, the action returns to Dodge Park, Pavilion 1, in Sterling Heights.

Food will be served at 1 p.m. Please RSVP with Joe Fortuna, Jr. at 586.623.3039 for an accurate food count.
Members - pick up your tickets for the big raffle (for a DeLonghi espresso/cappuccino maker and gift basket) by emailing Tom Andreozzi at tjandreozzi@gmail.com.
“Chi trova amico, trova un tesoro.”
“Who finds a friend, finds a treasure.”
Italian Proverb
For more than 75 years the Cepranese Club of Detroit has lived up to those words, creating camaraderie and bonds that have lasted decades.
At the same time it’s celebrated the heritage, the history and the ties it has with the Italian city for which the club is named - Ceprano, Italy. A social-fraternal organization, the Cepranese Club’s 140 members are made up of immigrants from Ceprano or descendents of those individuals.
From bocce ball tournaments to golf outings and summer family picnics to sumptuous Christmas dinner dances, Cepranese Club members know how to have fun. But more important, they know how to combine good times with a good cause. In the past, the club has donated funds to:
- Earthquake victims in Italy
- Disabled American war veterans
- the American Leukemia Society
Find out more about the Cepranese Club. Find out something about your heritage and then add something to it. Call Joe Fortuna, Jr., at 586.623.3039.
