Aloha UfOhAnA,

It’s been an Up AnD dOwN week for me, excuse the terse-ness.

Mahalo to all that attend this past Saturday.

Nothing like a room full of Happy Ukulele Pilots to put smile one’s face. UFOhana keeps my engine going . . .

Btw, I may forget to add the “register” link from time to time, but if you go to your browser and type in https://UFOhana.org/events you’ll probably find the event there and can register that way instead. Mahalo.

Below the video I mentioned of Brittni Paiva receiving her custom Kanile’a.

. . . and then there’s this video from Taimane . . .

I didn’t know she was a polyglot.

And from Melann an interview of Max, Sterling and Peter from George’s Maui Slack Key Band on NBC:

Maui residents use music to bring people together after wildfires. After the devastating wildfires that tore through Maui, residents use slack key music to unite the community. NBC News’ Sam Brock has more.

The following Saturday we Vani/Kanikapila’d once again, after which I was treated to a “Surprise” Birthday celebration. Check out the photos to see what I mean.

Mahalo Nui Loa to Pauline, Linda A, Marty A, Sandra, Gary, MelAnn, Nohea, Ralph, Karen, Don, Marty, Tucker, Barbara, Sandy, for organizing, to my beloved Nohea for making it one of the most Funner Birthdays I’ve ever had, and to our UFOhana for all the Aloha and makana you’ve shared with me all these years.

And finally, a Go Fund Me link for a friend of the UFOhana and close friend of Claudia Vazquez, Miyera Disher. Who,though survived the Maui Fires, suffered burns on both arms and material losses. Please Kokua if you can . . . . Mahalo.
