March 11th, 2018 There were 147 attendees, 5 kitchen staff, and 5 bussers. All actors were IACV club members. Barbara Lorio produced and directed The Italian Wedding. Kitchen was headed by Helen Nardolillo, with special thanks to Joe Carbone for his assistance and allowing use of the kitchen facilities. Bob Houston managed the bar. Appetizers were passed during social hour. The entire meal was a typical Italian wedding dinner, including the thrown sandwiches referred to as a "Football" Wedding. Cast spent many hours rehearsing their roles which resulted in a performance well received by all. Accordion music entertained the guests and Ray Sherman volunteered as the DJ. The Social Committee thanks all involved in their combined effort making the evening a tremendous success! *One of the best events, enjoyed by all! Who knew there was so much talent in the club!
