Joe Tato mentioned that last week was a great Fundraising Friday for the Elks. About $640 for food and over $1200 for gift card donations to the Fire Survivors. Joe also mentioned that the donations are still coming in.

Mahalo to the UFOhana for supporting this important event and to those that helped with the Quiche for Fire Fighters cook off the week before . . .
