Queens’ Luncheon With a Hawaiian Flavor Submitted by Linda Hawken
Are you searching for a Financial Advisor? Pictured left to right - on stage before the show in some of the colorful costumes worn - are Valerie Kelly, Linda Hawken, Sylvia Eddens, Darlene Walters, Eva Reisniger, Joan Leombruno and Pearl Rubinsky.
Darlene Walters’ troupe of hula dancers, the Hula Honeys, performed on March 14th at the Queens’ Luncheon in the Kings Point Borini Theatre. The meal was consistent with the tropical theme and included sweet & sour chicken with Hawaiian vegetable fried rice. A capacity crowd was treated to a variety of hula dances, from traditional to modern. Pearl, the latest addition to the troupe, dances from her wheelchair and is an inspiration to any handicapped person who thinks they can’t join in because of a disability. The host for the show was John Cortese and vocal entertainment was provided by Ron Leombruno. The troupe extends their warm thanks to Eva Hooley for her invaluable assistance as Stage Manager. Anyone interested in Darlene’s class, held in Kings Point, may contact her at 633-6839.
