Hello, Family and friends,

Gino and I hope that you had an enjoyable holiday weekend with those you love. Memorial Day is not
a day of joy, but one of remembrance of the sacrifices that our men and women veterans gave to our generation, and generations to come, so that WE may enjoy our freedom. THANK YOU VETERANS, FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!!!

Gino and I are not ONLY “business partners” any longer. We are man and wife! After almost eight years as a couple, we have finally “tied the knot” on May 17, with a ceremony and champagne brunch at at the Drury Lane Conference Center in Oak Brook Terrace, IL.
All of our children, and their husbands participated, as well as three of our grandchildren-(in a flower-wagon) came down the aisle.
Our other two adorable grandchildren were junior bridesmaid/junior groomsman.

Our son-in-law, Justin, was our wonderful officiate. It was a joyful day with family, close friends, work friends, music friends, and neighbors in attendance. Our vocalists: Anna Maria Sims, one of Gino’s beautiful daughters sang “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “Evergreen.” My dear friend, Mary Frances’ husband, Gene St. Germain sang “I Cross My Heart”, and “Wonderful World.”

Instead of reciting our vows, Gino and I said it “in a song”: “Let it be me.” As we left the room, “So much In Love” played behind us.
Then, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous champagne brunch. (The best in the Chicagoland area, in our opinion!)

A huge thank you goes out to our florist, and personal friend of mine (from NW Airlines, over 40 yrs of friendship!) who outdid herself with the gorgeous floral creations for the bridesmaids, boutonnieres, centerpieces, head piece for Jr. bridesmaid, and my beautiful bouquet.
FLOWERS DUJOUR OF OAK BROOK TERRACE–NAOMI AND MARK FROEHLIG…Gino and I thank you So much!!!

Everyone, listed below are the private and public appearances,(in bold print) on our June, 2015 calendar. We hope that you will come and join us for an evening of fun! We thank you so much for your love and support. Please drive carefully, to and from events.

Sincerely,

Jan and Gino Soldano

Hello Family and Friends!

We made it through December! Don’t ask me how! I’m pretty sure that we performed 40 Christmas shows, two in one day, sometimes. Now, we are heading into the dead of winter, and wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We will not be traveling to the UP in Northern MI and WI. in January and February. Most of our shows will be in IL, and two in Del Ray Beach, Florida. It’s always a pleasure to perform for family and friends; even BETTER to do the shows in Florida in the winter!

Gino and I look so forward to seeing everyone in 2015! Do come and see/listen to the new shows we have created for you! Thanks again for your love and support. It means so much to us!

Our private and public events shall be listed below, with the public events in bold print.

May the new year, 2015 bring new and exciting opportunities to all of us. Don’t be afraid to reach out of your comfort zone and try something new to do and learn!

Stay warm, and please drive carefully!

Sincerely,

Jan and Gino
