Scope and content
Three members of the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club, dressed in festive Polynesian attire, pose for a publicity picture on June 10, 1965, advertising the club's upcoming luau. All three are wearing leis. Mrs. Bruce Ferguson, club social chairman; Mrs. William Brown, Jr., wife of the club president, and Mrs. V.A. Schwarz, wife of the membership chairman and co-chair of the luau, are pictured above holding a collection of leis, grass skirt and flowered muumuu. The June 26, 1965, luau and dance would honor the club's new members. Exotic Polynesian food and South Sea Island music would entertain members, along with the Samoan Fire Dance. Members could feast on Kalua pig, baked salmon Tahiti and Samoan pudding among other treats. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club. (TNT 6-20-65, D-7)
