Karaoke crooners bring groovers

Nobody gets the karaoke audience dancing like Vito Villamor; he loves singing tunes like “Elvira” for the line dancers. Villamor was one of 33 performers who took the stage on June 23.

First-time singers Sheri Vanek and Donna Hernandez were appreciated with lots of applause. Tony Tupas did a fine “Run Away,” while Barbie May and Pat Paternostra had fun singing “Four Walls.” Susan Kelleghan and Vinny Correnti wowed the crowd with “You’re the One.” Both Frank and Martha Destra were in fine voice. And Ric Dizon always performs a good rendition of any Elvis tune.

It’s wonderful that all the karaoke performers love to sing, but it’s especially sweet for the audience when they can enjoy a treat, too. Ice cream drumsticks were provided by the club, and Alana Eaby brought dozens of her home-baked cookies.

All shareholders are welcome to the Wednesday-night karaoke parties in Clubhouse 1 beginning at 5:30. On July 7, the group will celebrate Independence Day with hot dogs and chips.
