Dinner guests at the May Meeting were surprised by music played by the Silver State Accordion group.  This group of talented musicians played a wide variety of songs from Italian songs to polkas to old time favorites.  Roland Pagni, one of our own Giuseppe Verdi Lodge members, is an accordian player in the group who entertained dinner guests.  "Rollie" as he is known to the Lodge is usually found cooking in the kitchen unless he is playing his accordian for family and friends.  The Silver State Accordian players entertain in the Reno-Sparks area at dinners, parades, hospitals, restaurants, or wherever they are requested.  Lodge members and guests were treated to a wonderful evening of music.  A "mouth-watering" dinner of pork roast, risotto, and all the trimmings brought added smiles to all.  As an extra surprise, Santina Giudici, made pineapple upside down cake to the delight of the dinner guests.  Smiles were seen throughout the hall as diners enjoyed the delicious cake along with their coffee.   The Lodge is excited about having members share their talents, and tonight's dinner showed just how talented our Lodge members are!

Lodge President Sam Macaluso dances to the accordian music with his cousin Miss Emily Macaluso.  Judging by their smiles they were having a wonderful time!  Giuseppe Verdi Lodge is committed to encouraging young members to take an active part in Lodge activities.

As the music played other Lodge members joined in the dancing.
