The Minneapolis Club was filled with music, laughter, and the rich flavors of Italy as Minneapolis City of Lakes Rotary proudly presented Italian Serenade.
Guests enjoyed an Italian dinner beginning with a lively social hour.
Between courses, world-class opera performances transported us to the rolling hills of Tuscany. Our internationally acclaimed artists—Georgia Jacobson, John Taylor Ward, Justin Burgess, and Teresa Perrotta—delighted the audience.
A heartwarming highlight came when baritone John Taylor Ward serenaded two of our youngest guests, Alijana and Allorine, bringing smiles throughout the room.
The evening concluded with the artists raising a toast, the audience rising to their feet, and a chorus of “Bravo!” that echoed through the hall.
Thank you to our performers, guests, and Rotary members Carol Russell, Bob Baker, Jen Van Wyk, Lynn Otis, Brock Ray, Russ Michaletz, Anna Coskran, and Cindy Lennie who made this beautiful tradition such a resounding success. We can’t wait for next year!
