It’s ‘Sunshine’ and ice cream at karaoke party

The July 7 Community Karaoke party included the singing of “Happy Birthday”for our longtime participant Ellen Brannigan. After performing an upbeat tune, Brannigan celebrated by passing out ice cream.

All 37 karaoke singers were then ready to take their turns. Newcomer Nina DeRosa wowed the crowd with her performance of “Where the Boys Are.” Don Sunday received lots of applause for his a capella version of “Oh What a Beautiful Morning.” And the happy group of Diane Neal, Tilly Steihr, Alena Eaby, Ericka Greenwood and Martin Rosendaal had fun with “You are My Sunshine.” There were many tunes that got the line dancers in attendance moving.

Hot dogs and chips were a special treat for the full house of fun-loving folks. Helping to make the evening a success were Ron Belben, Margie Stewart, Ruby Johnson, Tony Tupas, Bev Adams and Susan Kelleghan.

Everyone is welcome to attend the group’s karaoke parties on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 1. Those who want to practice in advance are invited to practice sessions on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. on the Amphitheater stage.
