Club surpasses fundraising goal during ‘50s dance

WOMAN’S CLUB

The Leisure World Woman’s Club Fundraiser on Sept. 16 was a huge success. The theme was back to the ‘50s. Lots of Pink Ladies and poodle skirts battled it out to see who wore it best. There were no clear winners; they all looked fabulous.

The entertainment was provided by The Platters-Live group. The group was fantastic. If anything can pull a person back to the ‘50s it’s songs such as “The Great Pretender,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” “Only You (And You Alone)” and “Twilight Time” among many others. The delicious lunch was catered by Domenico’s of Long Beach and featured three different pastas, salad and bread.

The LW Woman’s Club thanks everyone who helped make it possible to surpass the goal once again. A lot of thanks go out to vendors and donors who not only sponsored but also donated an amazing array of gifts for the raffle. Also, thanks to all those who attended and had a good time.

The Woman’s Club 20232024 season starts with the Tuesday, Oct. 3, meeting in Clubhouse 2, at 1 p.m. There will be a great line-up of entertainers this season, starting with someone new: Kenneith Perrin.

This smooth, velvet-voiced entertainer first hit radio airwaves with his debut album, “It Took So Long.” Perrin is best known for his inspirational pop/soul styles and delivering passionate and high energy live shows. Perrin’s notable eclectic blend of gospel, pop, soul and dance synergizes its way into the hearts of fans and new listeners alike.

Woman’s Club members will also be able to pick up their new membership books from Kathy Russell at this meeting. Those who want to know more about the Woman’s Club should call Russell at 949-293-7517.
