Aloha UFOhana,
As I mentioned last week, we’re moving our Friday Kanikapila (for just this week only) to Saturday evening  .  .  .  see below for details:

Moving our June 26th Fancy Dinner Night Kanikapila to Saturday the 27th. It’s a kind of an important night honoring Joe Tato, who’s been elected State VP for our Elk’s District, at an Elks event called a “Homecoming”. Joe has been traveling to other Elks Lodges, performing audits,  throughout the US. The 27th marks the end of his trips, hence the “Homecoming”. I understand that there will be visiting Elks dignitaries that night as well.

Social Hour starts at 5pm (spam musubi pupus). Dinner at 6pm. Menu is as follows:
Appetizers to Start. Main course: Huli Huli Chicken or Red Snapper, Shoyu Butter Shiitake Sauce. Cost $15. We’ll probably start playing around 6:45pm,  just enough time for most of us to get back from Sonoma . . .

Please RSVP as soon as possible with secretary@elks1108.org IF YOU WILL BE ATTENDING JUST TO KANIKAPILA, AND/OR IF YOU WILL BE PURCHASING A DINNER. Joe is also asking for a head count even if you won’t be having dinner. He want’s to make sure there are enough tables and chairs put out  to accommodate all of us. Again, please email secretary@elks1108.org , or Tad Inouye  at tadinouye@gmail.com or me at kaleikoa@piko.ws .

Mahalo Nui Loa to the San Rafael Elks for allowing us to participate in this important Elks event and congratulations to Joe Tato on his election and achievements.

Here are the images from last Fridays Kanikapila at UFOHQ . . . click the collages to access the photo album . . .

You’ll see from the Album that there was no shortage of Hula this past Friday. Mahalo Nui to all the dancers for sharing their beautiful dances with us. Also, take note of Nohea’s beautiful hair pieces (on sale now at a UFO HQ near you)!

Here are images from Hula Mai’s 2015 Ho’oike  where Mary, Sandy, Kimo Kanahele and myself participated as band members . . . Mahalo to Betty Ann Bruno for allowing us to share in this wonderful event. The Mayor of Sonoma even blew the Pu (Conch Shell) for the opening!

Saturday Kanikapila, June 27th, we’re meeting at the Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club, 2p – 4p. Mahalo Nui to the SVWC for hosting us once again! As you can see we’ve got a double helping of Kanikapila on Saturday, 1st at the SVWC and then at the Elks. I hope to see you at one or maybe even both!

uKeKu
Hearts beating as one,
Halau dancing for pure joy,
Aloha to all.

OK, DON’T FORGET TO RSVP FOR FRIDAY NIGHT IF YOU WILL BE ATTENDING AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU’LL BE NEEDING A DINNER!  The Elks need a head count for seating and for planning for dinner. Mahalo.

Spok-U-Bom-Bye!

Aloha UFOhana,
Hope you’re all have a great week so far. We’re schedule to land at UFOHQ this Friday for our weekly Friday Night Kanikapila. Run time is 7:30p – Till 10pm. BYPotLuck, BYOChair (just in case we run out), BYOMusic Stand (just in case we run out) and BYAloha to share with everyone. On another note, Linda (aka Nohea), is requesting that you bring a river rock (or two, or three) to place underneath our Electric Palm Tree (see photo below), note the smooooooth rocks. Mahalo.

This Saturday Sandy and I will be to performing at the following fabulous (and FREE) event,  put on by Betty Ann Bruno and her Halau, Hula Mai . . .

Which means No Saturday Kanikapila until June 27th, where we’re meeting at the Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club, 2p – 4p. Until then we hope to see you folks at Hula in the Plaza! Mahalo Nui to Betty Ann for allowing us to participate in this wonderful event.

As if that wasn’t enough fun, an UFO Away Team beamed down to the Redwood Stage on Planet Fairfax to bring Ukulele, Mele, Hula and Aloha to the Fairfaxians. Based on the images below I’d say, “Mission Accomplished”. Mahalo Nui Loa to all that participated, braving the “challenging parking” and made this such a fun event. Even one of our keiki, Andrew, participated. Making it all the more special. Such an honor to strum with you all!

uKeKu
Ancient giants stand,
Sheltering the ‘Ohana,
Diamonds of sunlight.

K’Den, see you folks Friday! Don’t forget to RSVP for the 27th!

Aloha A Hui Hou,
