MARCH HAS SOME FUN EVENTS TO ENJOY!
We’ve Got Talent! Fairways Talent Showcase an Absolute Hit! First, I want to recognize the behind-the-scenes talent that made the Fairways Talent Showcase night such a success! Edwin Ramierez helped keep things running smoothly and generally being exactly where help was needed. Our Master of Ceremonies was the warm and wonderful John Cutsinger. He ‘taught’ the audience how to clap, introduced each act, and led us to sing Happy Birthday to Michael. The backbone of the whole show, though, was DJ Johnny. He provided the music and sound. Without him, there wouldn’t have been any singing or dancing. Thank you all! We are so appreciative.
Fairways Has Talent!
We had a variety of artists with some favorites we’ve known for quite a while, as well as some surprises. We had some wonderful singers that are community favorites, including Michael Walker, Fran Archibald, Ken Bickford, and Claire Sourwine. They are long-term favorites and are marvelous singers. The new singers were, Nick La Roche, and a surprise appearance from The Twisted Sisters, AKA Melanie Klements and Sandy De Jesus.

The variety acts were wonderful, starting with David Gregg as a magician. He and his lovely assistant, Angela Artymowycz, really wowed the audience. Comedian, Vickie King, had us laughing out loud with commentary about being married and getting older. We had guitarist, David Joseph, who played an acoustic guitar and sang some very moving songs. And our last variety act was longtime resident, Joy Verneau. She did Lily Tomlin impressions which included Ernestine the telephone operator and 5-year-old Edith Ann. She did a terrific job and kept us laughing. We also had the Fairways Tap group perform; the members are Rebecca Croughwell, Letizia Morales and Suzanne Hammons. Of course, being totally objective, these dancers are my favorites! They performed routines to the tunes of Greased Lightning and That’s Entertainment. The same group did a hula dance to King Kamehameha. We were fortunate to have a dance performed by longtime Hawaii resident and dance instructor, Mary Lee Notley, to the whimsical tune of Keep your Eyes on the Hands. We are so grateful to the FHAOI board for sponsoring this event, and we’re planning on doing it again next year.
