Aloha ahi ahi UFOhana,

Another fun and busy weekend, starting this past Friday with the Lynwood Elementary Kanikapila.

Mahalo nui loa to Lynnette and her Ukulele Keiki for inviting us and sharing their Aloha with us. Click below to view the online album.

Mahalo nui all of you that donated to PIKOhana. It was because of your generous donations over the years we were able to provide Ukuleles, the buses to transport the Keiki to the school and Ukuleles to raffle off at Lynnette’s event.

This Saturday was our Vanikapila 10.25 and our 25th Anniversary Luncheon. Click below to view the online album.

Mahalo nui loa to all of those of you attended and helped us celebrate our 25th year of strumming, singing, laughing, great food and yes, sharing our memories for the UFOhana members who have moved on. Here’s hoping for many more years of Kanikapila to come.

Special mahalo to Pauline for her help with setup, to David Hayes for the Silver Leis, to Sandy and Kimo for being the heartbeat of our Kanikapila, and the army of Kitchen Menehunes that helped with clean up.

Most of all, Mahalo to my kuuipo, Nohea, for her love and undying support all these years.

Our next Vanikapila is this Saturday. Click below this Saturday to join us virtually, or if you’ll be joining us IRL (In Real Life), click here to register.

Del much love to you and the UFOs ! Grateful for the Aloha you folks have shared with the Elks over the past 15 years. Happy 25th anniversary.

Mahalo nui loa to all that participated. What a great way to start celebarting our 25th Anniversary of strumming!

And we get to do it again this Saturday our our Vanikapila 10.25 / 25th Anniversary Luncheon. Please to register here if you will be attending.

Wally asked that I relay the following from him:

I am recovering but I will be out of action for at least a couple more weeks, but my message is one of thanks to all of the Ohana, for the good wishes sent to me which has really helped me recover and I am so appreciative of the positive thoughts that are coming my way. I am also looking for the next opportunity to play with the Ohana, so thank you all for your kind thoughts and you guys are all in my mind as well.

Take care, aloha, Wally

Let’s keep sending our healing manas to Wally in hopes that we’ll see him a couple of weeks. Malama Pono Wally!
