Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

Another great Vanikapila behind us and another one on the way. But before our next Vanikapila, on behalf of Nohea (Linda) and from myself (SqL) we wish you all a hauʻoli hoʻomaikaʻi (Happy Thanksgiving)!

We both give thanks to akua (our higher powers) for allowing such a giving, caring and joyous UFOhana to form and continue to thrive for 23 years.

Images from this past Saturday’s Vanikapila follows.

We are so blessed and fortunate to have the UFOhana in our life, mahalo nui iā ʻoukou a pau (thank you all so much)!

Below, our link to this Saturday’s Vani. Click here to register if you’ll be joining us in InRealLife so we can put out enough chairs. Mahalo.

I want also want to give thanks to those of you who have donated to PIKOhana, our non-profit. It because of you we’re able to provide our the music programs in our local schools with instruments, amps and recording gear to help promote music and a little bit of Hawaiian Culture, through Mele (songs).

Like Lynwood Elementary, where Lynnette Bosey teaches music. See below . . .

Thanks to your recent donations we were able to provide Lynnette’s class with 2 additional Basses and Amp, purchased from our friends at Magic Flute.

I’m so curious to see where their music takes these kids 15 years down the road.

Below, some random thoughts and images from my internet and IRL wanderings.

Hello, Control . . .

Aren’t you glad we have cell and not “shoe” phones? Though Cell Phones today can be pretty “sole-less”. Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk! And finally . . .

ukeku

why do we gather,
a question with no answer,
but gather we do.

Ok, ‘nuf rambling, I’m returning you to your regular programming.

Be thankful and be well!

Aloha A Hui Hou,

Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

I want to start by saying Mahalo Nui Loa to the San Rafael Elks for inviting us back to the lodge this past Friday, to Joe Tato and his Kitchen Crew for that fantastic dinner and to the UFOhana members that participated and share their Alohas with the Lodge and Veterans in attendance.

Mahalo nui loa to our Veterans for their lawelawe (service) to our beloved Country.

Btw, I just posted the Dec. 3rd Family Holiday Party Event at the Elks. Check out the the event here and RSVP a dinner. Be sure to do this before November 30th if you’ll be joining us. It’ll help give the lodge an idea of how much food they should prepare.

Then come Saturday, we were back to our weekly Vanikapila. Check it out below.

Below, the link to our next upcoming Vanikapila.

For those of you interested below is a link the Maui Food Bank Fundraiser event we had a couple weeks ago.

It’s kind of long and unedited but you can skip past the kanikapila and eating parts and get right to the concert. Again, Mahalo nui to all that participated and to Ken and Faith for donating their time and creating an amazing night of music and Aloha.

UKEKU

they hang in silence,
wooden vessels of koa,
filled with aloha.

e malama i na mea a pau (take care everyone),
