Hawaii Club Hosted 17th Annual Lu'au On March 29 at the Alex G. Spanos Center from 5 to 10 p.m., the University of the Pacific Hawaii Club presented their 17th Annual Lu’au, “Hot Hawaiian Nights.”
The lu’au was definitely an “Escape to Paradise,” offering a taste of local Hawaiian deliciacies, an entertaining hula show, and a performance by a California Reggae band, Rebelution. The event began at 5 p.m., and the first fifty participants received a prize of a free t-shirt. At 5:45, Matt Ono and Courtney Supe, the coordinators of the lu’au, welcomed everyone for attending and the food was blessed by Janick Corpuz, president of Hawaii club. The menu consisted of poi, a staple food made from a mixture of taro root water; sweet potatoes; lomi lomi salmon; chicken long rice; teriyaki chicken; kalua pig; rice; and haupia, a coconut-milk gelatin dessert. The dinner was complimented by Polynesian Hula dancing, which included No Ka Moku Kiakahi Ke Aloha, Kawika, Palehua, Ka Mate, Terina Pomare, Poka’i Bay, and Home In the Islands, as well as comical entertainment by Masters of Ceremonies Stanson Chung and Chris Wakukawa through games that involved audience members. The last dance highlighted the graduating senior members of Hawaii Club. Overall, the lu’au was enjoyable, amusing, and provided a look into the culture of the Hawaiian islands. Aloha!
