Click the image above to download a PDF of the poster and entry form. Again, we are providing free booth spaces / tables at the UKU(flea)-Market, to anyone interested in selling their Ukulele Wares, Services, and even maybe even Ukuleles! A great way to spend your time at a fun fair and possibly make some $$$ . . . all for the price of admission. Email me at Kaleikoa@piko.ws if you’re interested. The Elks will be providing an Ono-licious (Yummy) Hawaiian Style Plate Lunch that day for $10. Please pass this onto your friends and families. Help Support PIKOhana in our efforts to spread the Way of the Ukulele to keiki in need.
Ok, it’s been another one of “those” weeks. Thankfully I have my ‘Ohana, I hope to see you folks this Friday or Saturday.
UkEkU Ashes into winds,

Click the image below for a copy of this year’s HELE ON UKULELE 2016 poster and an entry form. Please pass this onto your friends, your Ohana, your neighbor, your fellow students, Jake Shimabukuro or at least Andrew Flynn, your Meter Reader, your Mail Carrier … well you get the idea …
We’re also offering free booth space at our Uku (Flea) Market for that day, pun intended, for those of you interested in selling your Old and New Ukuleles, Ukulele Gear, or even to promote or provide Uke services like Ukulele Repair and Ukulele Lessons and the like. All we ask is that at the end of day you donate some of your proceeds to PIKOhana. Please email me at Kaleikoa@piko.ws, if you’re interested, with your space needs.
On behalf of the PIKOhana Executive Board, I’d to take this moment to say Mahalo Nui Loa to the San Rafael Elks for hosting this fantastic event once again. It’s through their continued support and those who have participated in past Hele On events that made it possible for us for provide Ukuleles to Local Schools and community programs (like Hilltop YMCA). I’m sure HOU 2016 will be just as exciting. Please, consider showing your support for our Local 1108 Elks Chapter by joining or volunteering your services to their events.
