Luau a Success
By: Mike Sylva
Our Polynesian party proved to be popular as the Highland Senior Center proudly hosted its annual Luau and it was a sellout with all the seats filled. The mood was festive with the partiers decked out in their finest Hilo Hattie wear and mu mu’s. As people arrived they were greeted with leis and island music.
Duke Ching’s “Duke Kaleolani Polynesian Review featuring lovely girls from Hawaii” served up the entertainment with family members, he has done in the past, including his granddaughters and a cousin. Other entertainment included our very own HSC Hawaiian class dancers. The dancers made it look so easy some of the crowd volunteered to come up and give it a while.
Also served was our version of “authentic” luau food, minus the spam or poi. Hawaiian chicken, rice pilaf, fruit cocktail and a role, washed down with a mango-pineapple punch. The crowd remarked that it was great food and the best show they’ve ever seen!
We’d like to thank all those who bought tickets and came showing their support for the center and its activities. Mahalo and see you next year!
