UNICO SIGN located on Route 6 in Carbondale
The Carbondale UNICO Chapter was chartered in 1959 and currently has 54 members. We are host to
2nd National Vice-President Glenn Pettinato, Foundation Board Member Peter Pettinato, and PA
II District Governor Chip Calabro. Sr. Member Luke Pollitts was one of the original charter members
and is still active in the chapter today. Our chapter continues to grow strong.
As a member of the UNICO National, the Carbondale chapters' mission is to contribute to the
well-being of our local communities by making significant contributions to deserving charities.
UNICO strives to honor, perpetuate and disseminate the culture and ethnic heritage of our Italian
immigrant ancestors, by supporting higher education and by educating and informing our members,
local communities and our nation.
Through the years the Carbondale UNICO chapter has given thousands of dollars to local
organizations such as the Red Cross, Carbondale YMCA and Special Olympics. The Carbondale chapter
also gives scholarships to local students to promote Italian heritage.
