Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

Sorry for the late posting . . . still recovering our Saturday Kanikapila / Birthday event. What a great night it was, blessed with fabulous weather and an even more fabulous ‘Ohana.

Mahalo nui loa to Pauline, Don, Ralph, Toni, Linda A, Marty and my dear Nohea for helping make the event possible. Mahalo to all of you that attended and shared your food, your song, your Aloha and the evening with us, making it an almost enchanted night.

Not to mention all of you that helped with the cleanup, recycles, tables, chairs, dishes (Terry and Karen) leaving nothing but happy echoes in the night . . . .

. . . . such is our UFOhana.

Below are photos and videos for that event. Sorry not to have livestreamed this one. Just ran out of time and energy to setup the gear . . . but there are some pretty cool videos online.

I think we need more duct tape.

Fyi, I’ll be posting more events shortly. We have an Elks event this September and a Fundraiser for Maui in October. More to come.


Btw, the Elks is still looking for someone . . .

“Would anyone with your group be interested in being Lodge secretary. It’s 12-15 about hours a week. It’s a paid position. It would require Two Thursday meeting nights and travel to two state conventions a year, expenses of course covered by the lodge.”

If you’re interested email Joe at j_tato@yahoo.com.


Please take time to read below, an ‘Ohana member is need of help.

Please Kokua (lend a hand) to Jiboni Gloistein’s mother, Josie.

Please all send your healing Aloha and Mana to Josie and her ‘Ohana. Click below to support and contribute.

Jiboni, if there’s anything we can do, just ask. We’re here for you.

crisis befalls us,
but ‘ohana will stand strong,

Aloha Hou,

Forgot to add the following from our Elks ‘Ohana, from Joe Tato:

Aloha Ahi Ahi UFOhana,

Another fun Saturday recorded to the Livestream Cloud. Mahalo for those that attended and brought their Alohas. Mahalo to Gary for that ono-licious Birthday Cake and to Toni for channeling Nellie’s Princess Pupule Hula!

Mahalo to Laura for being our paʻi puʻuwai (the Heartbeat) for our ‘Ohana this past Saturday.

Click above to view the online album from this past Saturday.

Remember, we’re holding our Kanikapila in the evening this Saturday for our Potluck/Birthday Kanikapila. Click here for details and to register for the event.

I’m going to try and stream the event, but no promises. Here’s the link just in case . . .


We were discussing donating funds to Maui this last Saturday, so I thought I’d share this link to Trusted Organization to Donate to for the Maui Relief. It’s from a local Hawai’i New Station, KHON2.

Along with the donation links, there are interesting articles on that page concerning the aftermath and possible issues with wealthy outsider “influence”, insurance companies and the like.

It’s going to be a long road to recovery that’s going to involve more than just large sums of money. Keeping sending your Alohas and good mana their way . . .

wicked makani,

. . . so sad . . . keep sending alohas . . .
