Welcome to the IAATO web site...
This year marks our 35th anniversary as an
organization that is dedicated to children, families and the fostering
of the Italian-American heritage and culture. The Italian American
Association of the Township of Ocean (IAATO) was started by a few
dedicated members, and over the years, has grown into a membership that
is now over 300 strong.
Due to our growth we have been able to accomplish
many of our goals as a club, and increase many levels of service to our
community. We recently purchased and rebuilt a new Italian Cultural Center, which serves as our headquarters. We are proud to announce
it's world class banquet facility, classrooms, meeting rooms and
Resource Center.
We also provide children with weekly Italian
language classes, a wide choice of classes for adults in our Italian
Culture Series at Brookdale College, and thousands of dollars in scholarships
for students that pursue Italian Studies. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,
Explorers, Little Leaguers and many others have also benefited by
receiving funds and play ground equipment.
Our five day Italian Festival annually
attracts over 100,000 people with a taste for our traditional foods and
wholesome family fun. IAATO welcomes you to visit our Festival Pages if
you've missed the fun this year.
