SVAS is thrilled to offer our members a special opportunity for our May 4, 2025 meeting to thank you, our members for your support! We will be meeting at a restaurant instead of our usual location to enjoy a buffet lunch and volunteer playtime with a Cinco de Mayo theme.

$20 per person for a regular member and 1 guest
$35 per person for non-members
(SVAS is subsidizing meals, tax, and gratuity)
Reservation and prepayment are required as the restaurant can only
accommodate 30 people.
Buffet menu: Shredded beef Enchiladas, Chicken Fajitas with sour cream, guacamole, and tortillas on the side, rice and beans, salad with dressing on the side, and a soft drink.
If you wish wine, beer or other drink, they can be purchased at the bar.
Payment: Please make check payable to SVAS and send to Bernie Coullahan 100
Drysdale Dr. Los Gatos, CA 95032 (cell 408-656-2907) or drop off your check at the next monthly meeting.
Volunteer players: If you wish to play, please prepare 3 songs to play and sign up at the time you make your lunch reservation. Sorry, no amplification allowed.
Cancellation policy: If you need to cancel, the final date to receive a full refund is
Saturday April 19, 2025. At that time, we need to give the restaurant our final count of
attendees and we are committed to that number of meals.

Our dedicated President Colette Ogata has done a great job leading us on this adventure during COVID and back. We are very happy to have her on board. Now we are going back to in-person performances at the church. We'll either have members or a member band play before any professional performers. Bring your accordion and play for us!

Silicon Valley Accordion Society meetings are held the first Sunday of each month unless noted.
In-person meetings start at 1:30 with announcements and introductions. Performances start immediately after a break and raffle. This is usually around 3:30. We have club members play before the break. Bring your accordion and let one of the board members know if you are interested in playing for us.
We invite you to visit one of our meetings and listen to wonderful performances by our guests. Our members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about SVAS and how you can join.
We value your feedback; send us your comments and suggestions. By building an effective web site, we hope to get our message out to a larger audience of people interested in the accordion.
Happy squeezing!
