Judo Club Lissone and Comune double then the evenings, now Tuesday and Friday. “We have great success– comments the councilor for sport, John Camarda – to the course strongly desired by the Judo club of Lissone and, for this, I thank the president Natale Casagrande; when sports associations get to work on issues like these, the administration must support and encourage them with all the means available. Aware that there is still a long way to go to combat the phenomenon of violence against women, the administration will always do everything in its power, even starting to work on youth policies from a prevention perspective”. The course is held in the gymnasium Dante school in via Volturno. An initiative that combines sport and attention to a very important social issue.
