We apologize for not being able to have our June gathering due to a scheduling conflict with the room we normally gather in. However, we WILL be showing the amazing film "Keepers of the Flame" by Eddie Kamae, which focuses on three INCREDIBLE Hawaiian women, Mary Puku'i, Edith Kanaka'ole and 'Iolani Luahine. Anyone interested in Hawaiian culture, history, hula won't want to miss this!!! In addition, we'll also have a free hula workshop for na keiki!!! FUN!!!
