We celebrated our 70th birthday in July so it was decided that September was going to be Hawaiian. Great call as it is certainly warm enough to be on a tropical island! Tom and Nancy Cuda are our Dance Directors this evening so standby for a great time!
Did You Know? - "Aloha" is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. "Aloha" means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. "Aloha" is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. "Aloha" means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.
Serious meeting and greeting underway!
We even have fresh pineapple on each table
Did You Know? - Once harvested, pineapples don’t continue to ripen. That means that every single pineapple in the grocery store is as ripe as it will ever be so don’t buy one and save it for a week, thinking it will ripen. The difference in colors is mostly based on where the pineapples were grown so a green pineapple can be just as sweet and delicious as a golden brown one.
