Unearthing Nevada’s Past at March Carson City Leisure Hour Club meeting
Uncovering Nevada’s past is the topic for the Carson City Leisure Hour Club on Wednesday, March 20. Presented by Dennis Casinelli, club members will learn about artifacts that he discovered while growing up in Nevada and during his long career as a highway engineer for the Nevada Department of Transportation. He also founded Cassinelli Landscaping and Construction, which still serves Northern Nevada today.
Raised in Sparks, Nev., Cassinelli developed an interest in American Indian history and the Comstock Lode as a young boy working on his family’s ranch. Dennis Cassinelli is the author of four books about the Great Basin region. In addition, he has been a long-time history columnist for The Comstock Chronicle, a weekly newspaper serving Virginia City, Nevada, and surrounding areas. He also writes periodic articles for the Nevada Appeal.
If you would like to attend this event, please contact the Club’s reservation chair at (775) 400-2647 no later than 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 17 to make your reservation. The meeting is preceded by a buffet dinner at 6: p.m. in the Carson Nugget Capitol Ballroom. Reservations for the meeting and dinner are required.
