BOT:

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)!

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,
