Menlo College's 21st Annual Hawaii Club Luau--Saturday March 24th

When I was in college, the Hawaii clubs were literally an island of retreat from the occasional homesick blues. There was always someone who understood your crazy, lilting pidgin English and odd vocabulary choices like open/close the lights, or, something I still say today, try wait and try come. Or just someone who understood that when you said "$*!#? When will it ever be warm again!?" you really meant 80 degrees, sunny and a slight breeze.

So I'm happy to get the word out that the Menlo College Hawaii Club will be putting on their 21st Annual Luau this Saturday, March 24th at the Hayes Prim Pavilion of Menlo College in Atherton/Menlo Park. 

Doors open at 4:00PM

Note that I do not get a cut of ticket sales. 

Besides the opportunity for good food, great entertainment and a little ABC-store style shopping, one of the goals of the luau is to raise funds to for a scholarship for Hawaiian/Pacific Island students. 

The scholarship fund has been created, but it's not quite enough to allow for an award. The good people at Menlo College tell me it's close, and hope that turnout will allow them to fund the scholarship fully.   

A community luau is often one of the main projects of college Hawaii Clubs, where anyone and everyone is welcome to join the festivities as well as the preparation. Even more so at Menlo, where 7.5% of students are from Hawaii. In fact, excepting California, Menlo draws the most number of students from Hawaii than from any other state.

Good Food. Good Entertainment. Great Cause.

Menlo College Luau this Saturday 3/24.
