80s plus club WOW! What a way to start 2013 with such great entertainers as Harold and Bettie Enns and their pal Burt. The show began with the very upbeat duet ���Sunny Side of the Street.��� When Harold and Bettie sing their romantic songs, it gives us memories of another time and place when we were young. Harold brought us back with ���Some Enchanted Evening,��� ���If They Made Me A King��� and ���This is All I Ask.��� Bettie gave us ���Embraceable You��� and ���The Wee Small Hours of the Morning.��� While Harold and Bettie caught their breath, Bert sang a song to sum up how we felt��� ���You Make Me Feel So Young.��� Bettie came back with a great version of ���Over the ���Rainbow.��� Harold and Bettie closed the show with what is now their signature song ���Anything You Can Do.��� January was also our big treat month with our great fish fry by Susie and Carol, as always a wonderful job, girls. We meet the second Saturday of the Month at the South Clubhouse at 3 pm. Caregivers and spouses are welcome. Info., Barb, 845-7904 or Carol, 769- 7382. chorale Have you visited the Main Clubhouse lately? If so, you may have heard chorale members flexing their vocal cords.

To their delight, Director Bob Jensen has selected 21 memorable songs from Broadway hits and Hollywood movies that will have you dancing in the aisles! To their added pleasure, young Banning resident, accompanist Lisa Yarbrough was once again seated at the piano. These two skillful musicians elevate the quality of our concerts.
