Welcome to
the Solvay Tyrol Club website:
Founded in 1929, the Solvay Tyrol Club
is located in Solvay, New York
and has approximately 350 members. The Club’s purpose, according to our
by-laws, is to promote the stimulation and advancement of the
Tyrolean-Trentini people and to carry forward the traditions and culture of
the Tyrolean-Trentini people.
The
Solvay club has an open membership policy – candidates for membership need
not be of Trentino heritage to join. However, only members of Trentino
heritage have voting and governing authority. Anyone wishing to join must
complete a brief application, be sponsored by a current member in good
standing and receive approval by the Club’s Board of Directors. Annual dues
are $40.
The
Club has a men’s membership, consisting of members of both Trentino and
non-Trentino heritage, and a women’s Ladies Auxiliary. Both groups are
active in Club events and promotion of Club activities and goals.
We
have several open polenta and chicken dinners annually to both promote our
native foods and traditions and to raise revenue to support our club. In
addition, there are periodic polenta carbonera and polenta di potate
dinners open to members only. We are fortunate to have copper paioli large
enough to make polente that can feed up to 100 people each and have many
members who are very skilled in the art of polenta making. Our facility can
seat in excess of 200 people for a dinner.
Our
club and bar facilities are open to members three days per week. The
facility is also available for rental and we have full kitchen, banquet and
service capability. For further information about club rentals, please
