The St. Anthony Society of West Aliquippa celebrated its 85 year old history with a mass at St. Titus Church followed by a reception complete with hors deovures, pastries of all types and beverages at the hall in West Aliquippa. Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano reports that about 100 persons attended the event at the site of the former West Aliquippa Swimming Pool. The group purchased the site several years ago from the city, according to former mayor Anthony Battalini for $5,000. Battalini is the president of the society. Bill DiCioccio, Sr. is vice president, secretary is Marie Bertoni, treasurer is Cil Casciato.  The group had approximately 400 members, now there’s 300, most of them elderly. The group fundraised and donations of about $20,000 made the site a reality, the group said. Every year at Christmas the group donates to the women’s shelter, Salvation Army, and St. Anthony’s in Troy Hill.
