Aloha!
It's been a while since our last posting, we hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season! Here are some of the things we've been up to.....
December 11th, we had the honor and privilege to represent our Hawaiian community here in Utah by presenting an oli and makana for Tongan Royal Princess Pilolevu Tuita at the South Towne Expo Center. Here's a shot of us directly after, L-R: Charlene Lui 1st V.P., Soulee Stroud President for the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs, Tina Cabiles-Carden Club president.
This month our club gathering will be on Saturday, January 28th. We'll have a fun yarn lei making activity, and learn some basic protocols for lei making and lei giving. FUN!! Bring the family down, potluck dinner to be served, please bring a dish to share!
We are also eagerly anticipating the release of Hokulani Aikau's new book, A Chosen People A Promised Land . While we are excited when Native Hawaiian authors present their works, this one is especially exciting for us. Hokulani is the daughter of Uncle Ned and Aunty Sharon Aikau, and while that enough is cause for us to celebrate this release, the subject matter of this work is one that has relevance for so many here. We encourage you to purchase a copy! 
Within the next few weeks this blog will be undergoing some reconstruction, we're excited about that. We aim to make it more user friendly. MAHALO!!!
