Authentic Hawaiian foods like kalua pigwith cabbage, poi (a pudding-like food made frommashed taro), kulolo (a dessert made from mashedtaro and grated coconut meat or coconut milk) andcoconut haupia (a coconut gelatin of sorts) were onthe menu, in addition to teriyaki chicken, rice,macaroni salad and pineapple. To a recordaudience of more than 1,600 people, a roughly 2-hour show was put on by dancers, both membersand non-members of the Hawaiian Club, withHawaiiarL Samoaru Tahitian and Maori dances,student skits, and a student fire-throwingperformance. Spectators were left dazzled by theamount of detail and grace executed in all of theperformances.

It's amazing how much love and hard workgoes into pulling off a spectacular lu'au but theHawaiian Club never seems todisappoint. After four months of preparation,all of the days of rehearsing, costume makingdecorating and promoting culminated in ashowcase on May 3 of the Hawaiian andPolynesian cultures like no other.
