 Report!
 The event was held once again at the
CANINE COMPANION BUILDING
there were more of the same and some added surprises for your enjoyment this year.
Ladies, came dressed in their Muu Muu and gents in Hawaiian Shirts. Everyone had a great time and food was plentiful. Food must have been great, because the food disappeared faster than usual, we found out later that a number of the guests were seen filling up extra plates and bringing plates full of food out to their cars. This has never happened before at any of our events. Good thing we planned more food than needed. We had enough food to feed over 250. We served 150 guests in attendance. We ended up with -0- food.
It was reported that all guests, even the late arrivals had plenty to eat. We fixed more food then we needed because we planned to offer guests take out boxes of food for a donation because we knew that some of the food served were specially made for the event, therefore one could not go out to purchase the same dishes. I guess we should say compliments to the cook and to those who took food home, we hope it was because you enjoyed the food. Looks like next year we will need to police the table more losely.
Lion Jim Paschal entertained with the Inspirations: Patty Graham, Soprano, Sharon Taylor, alto, Jim Paschal, tenor, Chris Cella, bass, entertained just before the Hawaiian dancers came on. We had guests who came to celebrate a birthday with their friends. We were able to set up a few tables for groups requesting to be seated together. "LUAU S.R ROSELAND LIONS STYLE"

was no doubt a success. Appetizers were served in a timely manner from 4:30 to 5:45pm. At 6:00pm sharp, Lion Robert and a guest did the Parade of the Pig. Cameras were busy taking many pictures of the pig being carried through the crown to the Buffet table. When the Pig arrived at the Buffet table, all the food were already laid out and waiting for guests to help themselves. The cake was served immediately after dinner just before the Hawaiian Show.
