Aloha UFOhana,

Yes, we’re in October already! Can you believe it, maybe I will make to to retirement after all. What an eventful, busy and fun September we had and October may end up being just as action packed.

We begin, as we usually do, this month by Kanikapila-ing at Fadda Chip’s Hale Pule (Church) and end the week at UFOHQ. Please note the change in time for this Saturday’s UFOHQ Kanikapila. We need to start a little earlier and end a little earlier due to an engagement I need to attend. Though we’re still getting our 2 hours of Kani in! Check here for details.

Btw, Mahayler Nu-wee Lowers to all that attended last week Friday Kanikapila, which turned into a Knee Slapping He Hawing (well ok, maybe not that bad) Western Songs Night in honor of Ken Burns’ Documentary on Country Western Music. Amazing how many Westerns we have in our collection! Below, photos of the CWMN . . .

The following Saturday we had to Hele On to the Shark-tober Fest in Crissy Field. Mahalo Nui Loa to all of you that attended this important event. David and Carol were very grateful to all you. As you’ll see by clicking the colage below the weather and the music was fabulous . . .

Aloha UFOhana Pilots,

We’re back at the UFOHQ this Friday. A thankful break from being a roadie all last weekend. All worth it though as we did have a fabulous, amazing, heartwarming, time talking story, and jamming with George Kahumoku, Jr. There are great photos from Craig, Donna and Linda below.

Mahalo Nui Loa to Carolyn, Lois, Susan, Joe, Glen of Manaleo Hawaiian Cultural Foundation and to George Kahumoku, Jr. for allowing the UFOhana to participate and for sharing their Aloha with us.

Saturday we’ll be at the Sharktober Festival, helping with fundraising for Brudda David McQuire’s Ocean Stewards group. We certainly can use all the help from all Ohana Pilots for this important event, so come if you can!

Details for this Friday and Saturday Events can be found here.

Then it was the UFOhana’s turn the following Saturday afternoon to Kanikapila. As if playing at the Festival wasn’t enough, we were treated to a surprise appearance from George Kahumoku, Jr. who joined us . . . somebody pinch me, Ted and Wally!

Sorry, in all the excitement I forgot to mention that there were some great workshops at the event before we went on. Liko’s Hawaiian language, George’s Slack Key Ukulele and HOTTTTT Hula!

Ok, rest up for this weekend UFO Pilots! Hope to see you this Friday and Saturday. Don’t forget to register for both events. Mahalo!
