On Saturday, Aug, 29, residents of The Birches Assisted Living will be out of their chairs, hips in motion as they learn the hula.

Residents, families and friends of The Birches are invited to a tropical luau titled, “HULA!” at The Birches Assisted Living, 215 55th St., Clarendon Hills.

A Tiki bar is featured, and the menu includes tropical main courses served buffet style at two seatings at 11 to 11:45 a.m. or 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.

The event will include performances by a member of Barefoot Hawaiian dance troupe who will also teach the hula.  

Guests should dress in their best Hawaiian-inspired clothes for a chance to win a prize in the best-dressed islander contest.

Barefoot Hawaiian is a professional touring dance troop of more than 60 entertainers, some of which are world champions who have won awards in competitions as the World Fire-Knife Competition held annually in Oahu, Hawaii and in the World Tahitian Competition held annually in San Jose, Calif.

The public is invited to this event, space permitting.  Tickets are $7 each and include the buffet and entertainment. 

Reservations are required.  For more information call Carol Weigel at 630-789-1135 or visit http://www.birches.net.
