Upcoming Band Concert Notice from Lynnette Boosey:

Aloha music lovers,

For those who like band concerts this will be a really fun program from Henry Mancini, to big band, to movie themes and more. 

It’s free, though donations are appreciated on your way out. You’ll find me in the trumpet section!  Tuesday, May 21st, 7:30 pm at Angelico Hall on the Dominican campus.

Mahalo,

Lynnette

So this past Saturday we experienced a turn in the weather. Some welcome rain, and some extra snow I heard as well. But there was no shortage of Aloha both online and IRL. See below.

Lois surprised us all by standing for Koke’e Hula! Maika’i Lois!

Brudda Tom from Santa Cruz joined us and we have our first (Mustang) Sally in the ‘Ohana. Mahalo Tucker for pointing her our way.

The Jet Lagged Albions finally came back from their Japan Tour and some how managed to strum their way through two hours of the ruckus.

Mahalo Lynnette for your ka himeni kamalii (Keiki Choir), so nice to see and hear the ethusiams of youth.

Mahalo nui loa to our Cyber ‘Ohana for giving us 100% likes for the first time ever!

Lastly, the link to this week’s Vanikapila. Click here to register for Saturday.

uKekU

a warm gentle voice,
giving light to a dark mind,
only mother’s love.

Hauʻoli lā Makuahine (Happy Mother’s Day) to all our mothers out there and Mother’s who have flown west. We wouldn’t be here without you!

e lokomaikai kekahi i kekahi (be kind to each other) . . .
