Here’s a revised version of your invitation — rewritten to celebrate Diana Cimini as the honoree this year, while maintaining the elegant tone, Italian charm, and historical context of the event:
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
È con grande gioia (It is with great joy) that we invite you to join us on November 13 at the White House Restaurant for a special evening celebrating Diana Cimini, this year’s distinguished recipient of the Hon. James J. Alfano Lifetime Achievement Award.
This prestigious honor, named after the late Hon. James J. Alfano—the first Italian-American Superior Court Judge in Orange County—recognizes those who have dedicated their careers to excellence in the law and to strengthening our Italian-American legal community. Judge Alfano was un uomo di grande cuore (a man of great heart), whose kindness and leadership continue to inspire us all.
This year’s celebration carries a special meaning as we gather once again, come una grande famiglia (like one big family), to recognize an extraordinary individual whose professionalism, integrity, and generosity have left an indelible mark on our community. Diana Cimini embodies the very spirit of Judge Alfano’s legacy—compassion, commitment, and an unwavering dedication to justice.
We are also proud to announce that  Traut Injury Firm, ADR Services, Inc., and Calderon Settlements & Insurance Services will be sponsoring this event. Their continued support ensures that we can honor our peers in true Italian style—with great food, friendship, and heartfelt celebration.
And to bring a smile, here’s a little Italian humor:
Perché gli avvocati italiani amano il calcio? Perché sono bravi a difendere!
(Why do Italian lawyers love soccer? Because they’re good at defending!)
Join us as we celebrate Diana Cimini and continue the proud legacy of past honorees including Hon. James DiCesare (Ret.), Joe D’Antony, John DiCaro, Andy Lachina, John Cogorno, and Dianne Liddy.
Non mancate a questa serata di festa, cultura e cameratismo.
(Don’t miss this evening of celebration, culture, and camaraderie.)
Vi aspettiamo con impazienza!
(We eagerly await you!)
Would you like me to make a shorter version too—for use in an email invite or social media post? It would keep the same spirit but be more concise and eye-catching.
