"Aiuto, Inc." was founded to serve two purposes. The first duty of the Corporation was to create a club known as the Sons of Sicily of San Jose (SOS) which shall exist to enable members to gather together and share in the customs, food, tradition and history of our common Sicilian heritage. The second purpose is to assist in the needs of the club's members of the Sons of Sicily. The word "Aiuto," meaning help, shall also be the motto of the SOS. Therefore, the SOS is a social club in nature and shall not involve itself in activities not consistent with our stated purpose.

The Sons of Sicily of San Jose, California was founded in 1974 by Lou De Franco.
