22 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2015 | SOCIAL CLUBS & GROUPS Yiddish Culture Club "Why is this night different from all other nights?" This is a question that has been asked for centuries and will again be asked on the night of April 8, when the Yiddish Culture Club will have their first Seder, complete with dinner, in the South Clubhouse at 6 pm. We have planned a family Seder which will include the traditional symbols of matzoh, wine, bitter herbs, parsley, roasted or boiled egg, charoset, and a lamb bone. Dinner will follow and include such family favorites as chicken soup with matzoh balls, gefilte fish, appropriate entrees, and dessert. During the Seder all the 'family' will participate in the reading of our newly revised Haggadah, which tells the story of a people's liberation from slavery and emphasizes the ideal of the struggle for freedom and human dignity. Our tradition requires us to remember slavery to reinforce our commitment to freedom. We should not delight in freedom as long as others in the world are not free. Since this is a joyous as well as a serious holiday, we will join in song and maybe even in dance as we celebrate. Everyone is welcome to join us for this event. However, seating is limited to 104 persons. The cost for the Seder with dinner is $15 for Yiddish Club Members and $18 for non-member guests. Paid reservations must be received by April 3, 2015. A flyer with reservation form is available in the Main Clubhouse Lobby. Seating will be by reservation and paid reservations should be sent to Diane Stone, 1800 Litchfield Ct. Info., Diane at 769-0130. Join us April 12 for the Golden Era of Harmony with the Four Preps and the New Chordettes, a 90 minute show without intermission. $20 members and $25 for non-resident guests. Doors open 6 pm, show starts at 7 pm. It started for "The Four Preps" in the fall of 1954 when 35 girls and not one boy auditioned for the annual Hollywood High student talent show. The next day a school bulletin pleaded for "any guys out there who can do anything" and a show business tale of triumph began. These four teenagers were the runaway hit of the show. What followed was a teen's dream. Soon came albums, concerts and television. For three years in the mid 60s, The Four Preps were the country's #1 concert attraction, touring in their own 13 passenger plane and averaging 150 concerts a year. Also coming to the stage will be The New Chordettes. The original Chordettes were organized in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in 1946. The members of the group were Janet Ertel, Carol Bushmann, Dorothy Schwartz, and Jinny Osborn/Lockard. They sang folk music in the style of The Weavers, but eventually changed to a harmonizing style of the type known as barbershop harmony or close harmony. After performing locally in Sheboygan they won on Arthur Godfrey's radio program Talent Scouts in 1949. They held feature status on Godfrey's daily program and then recorded for Columbia Records. Now the New Chordettes are known around the world for such hits as "Mr. Sandman," "Lollipop," "Eddie My Love," and "Never On Sunday." They even recorded the theme song for the 1950s hit television show, "Zorro." But after a string of 10 hits, the group retired from show business and for awhile was inactive. The New Chordettes do more than just create great vocal sounds. They have filled their concerts with enough hit songs, comedy and fun to make an evening with the New Chordettes seem like a class reunion. Checks to "Friendship Club."
