Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade - Fund-Raising Hula-Palooza
5:00 - 8:00 PM
Palatine, Illinois
To understand what this is about, please take a quick
detour to our December 7 entry further down on this web
page to learn about our invitation to participate in the
2015 Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, marking the 74th
Anniversary of the day that thousands of American military
personnel and civilians lost their lives in the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
While this invitation stands alone as the greatest
honor our humble company has ever received, our acceptance
of the invitation and commitment to accomplishing it also
stands alone as the most challenging task we have ever
faced. We have committed to sending over 40
performers (the minimum required to have accepted the
invitation) over 8,000 miles, for a 4-day stay (the
required stay to participate and work with the parade
committee in pulling off the task). Aside from the
logistics to complete this mission is also the economic
threshold to overcome.
In order to accomplish the later, this is the first of
several fund-raising events we will be holding. Here
is what to expect at this one.
Non-Stop Hula Dance Performances
Throughout
Craft Sale - Artists, painters, sewers, creators
Bake Sale
$500 Show Raffle
Admission is free
All baked-goods are donated - 100% of
all baked-good sales go to the fund-raising
endeavor. All craft sales are a 50/50 split with the
crafter and the fund-raising event. The raffle is to
win a Barefoot Hawaiian show worth $500. Raffle
tickets will be sold at the event. Winner will be
announced at end of event. Winner need not be
present at the time of drawing. If your heart so
moves you, you may also make [strictly voluntary] a
cause-contribution to our mission. After the rental
fee to the Legion Post is paid, all proceeds go to the
Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade endeavor. This will be
a fun-filled, family oriented event.
The Event will
be held at
American Legion Post #690
122 W. Palatine Road
Palatine, IL 60067
The following is a Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade
Fund-Raising Event
Friday, May 8, 2015
Rob Roy Fish Fry
5:00 - 6:00 PM
Prospect Heights, Illinois
Every Friday starting in February and running through
November, the 10th Hole Bar & Grille at the Rob Roy
Golf Course runs a Friday Night Fish Fry. For only
$10.95 per person you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet
which includes made-to-order Corona Battered Cod.
Alternatively, you may instead order ala carte from the
10th Hole Bar and Grille menu. We have included the
menu below for your convenience. The fish fry opens at 4
PM.
On Friday, May 8, the Barefoot Hawaiian will be putting
on a special show from 5 to 6 PM for fish-fry
patrons. For this special event, the fish fry price
will be remaining at the normal $10.95 per person price
(other menu items also at regular price) because the Barefoot Hawaiian will be performing at the
Rob Roy Golf Course in gratis, and in lieu of payment from
Rob Roy, patrons will have the [strictly voluntary]
opportunity to provide a
cause-contribution to the Barefoot Hawaiian Pearl Harbor
Memorial Parade mission. (See our December 7 entry
below for further details.) If, after enjoying the
performance, and if your heart so
moves you, you will be free to drop in a tip in the
mission bucket that will be available. There will be
absolutely no pressure to contribute. This is
strictly an opportunity for those wishing to be a Barefoot
Hawaiian partner in it's parade mission to contribute to
the cause and also to say thank you for the show. 100% of every penny collected will be
used to fund Barefoot Hawaiian's entry into the 2015 Pearl
Harbor Memorial Parade.
So, come out to the Rob Roy on May 8,
fill your tummy
with fish and/or other delicious food, and enjoy a Polynesian
performance while you do.

Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade - Fund-Raising Hula for Mula
1:00 - 6:00 PM
Des Plaines, Illinois
To understand what this is about, please take a quick
detour to our December 7 entry further down on this web
page to learn about our invitation to participate in the
2015 Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade, marking the 74th
Anniversary of the day that thousands of American military
personnel and civilians lost their lives in the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
While this invitation stands alone as the greatest
honor our humble company has ever received, our acceptance
of the invitation and commitment to accomplishing it also
stands alone as the most challenging task we have ever
faced. We have committed to sending over 40
performers (the minimum required to have accepted the
invitation) over 8,000 miles, for a 4-day stay (the
required stay to participate and work with the parade
committee in pulling off the task). Aside from the
logistics to complete this mission is also the economic
threshold to overcome.
This event is a fund-raiser toward that endeavor.
Admission is $10 per person
