Aloha! After a busy summer season South East Consortium
participants, family and friends were able to kick their feet up (or let their
hair down) at the SEC Family Luau this past Saturday at the Harbor Island
Pavilion in Mamaroneck.
Everyone danced the evening away to the bumping sounds of DJ
Mike. Favorites such as Cotton Eye Joe, the Cha Cha and hit songs from Grease
and High School Musical electrified the dance floor.
“DJ Mike is the best! I love dancing with all my friends at
South East parties,” said T.J. Marchese, a long time South East participant.
There was no pig on a spit but the grill was manned
masterfully by Gina Jones and her husband Jeremy. It was the perfect
party-by-the beach meal of hot dogs, chips, juice and to top it off fresh
sliced watermelon.
Lawn games abounded on the beach. An intense game of
volleyball quickly developed between staff and participants, hula hoops were
spinning and Frisbees were flying.
After some dicey weather at the start of the BBQ the weather
settled down producing a picturesque sunset on the Harbor. It wasn’t Hawaii but
it was a little piece of paradise for all who attended. Aloha!
