It was Para-dice….

Alice offered a hula demonstration as part of the evening's entertainment...
They had a great time – here’s more from Barbara Sharp & the Soroptimist Club:
It was a great party, with island women decked out in their best tropical finery. They shook the dice to the music of Jimmy Buffet at the Soroptimist Para-Dice Bunko Party last Friday January 14. Thanks to the 77 people who bought tickets, as well as the many folks who bought raffle tickets or made donations, we raised $2774 for the Cancer Support Mission. All proceeds will buy ferry tickets and other transportation for islanders who need cancer treatment on the mainland.
A highlight of the evening was Alice Hibberd’s beautiful demonstration of traditional Hawaiian hula. Alice teaches hula at the XYZ Movement Arts Studio, so she taught us all a few steps!
Local businesses were generous in donating raffle gifts, prizes and services: Compost It, Spa D’Bune, Altier Salon, West Marine, Bistro Garden, San Juan Vineyards, Whidbey Island Bank, Printonyx, and the Hot Shop & Flavor Emporium.
If you missed the fun last Friday night, watch for our next bunko event later this year!
