The Floridia Society, composed of immigrants from Floridia, goes back much further in history than the Canicattinesi societies. I find an announcement dated March 1, 1927 as the first written account of the society's existence. The club may have been founded in 1921, as indicated by the 1933 account of the club's annual dinner, which it identifies as its 12th.
