President’s Message

We just got through a very busy first quarter of the year and

it has been a roller coaster ride with many activities. If you did not

attend any of the activities I want to say that you missed out on

many events that Pearl Harbor members were involved in.

Here’s a snapshot at what we were involved in and what’s

coming up in the next few months. Pearl Harbor members were

involved with the Prince Kuhio Festivals Celebration. On March

24th we had a memorial ceremony for Prince Kuhio at Mauna`ala;

on March 25th we were involved with the Prince Kuhio Parade in

Waikiki, then after the parade we had a snack booth at Ho`ike`ike,

and a luahala craft demonstration under the craft tent. Finally, we

attended Ali`i Sunday at Kawaiahao Church celebrating Prince

Kuhio’s birthday, and ended with Ke Ahe Lau Makani that same

evening at Kawaiahao Church. There was a good showing of many

of our members at all these activities.

If you have been following and are interested in the

voyaging canoe HOKULEA on their travels around the world then

you will be interested to know that they will be returning to

Hawai`i on Saturday, June 14. The voyaging canoe HIKIANALIA

went to Tahiti to meet up with the HOKULEA and both voyaging

canoes will be coming back together. They will be coming into

3

port at Ala Moana Beach, “Magic Island”. We should be proud of

the officers and crew that made the trip around the world spreading

not only the “Aloha Spirit” but also showing the world how we all

can empower everyone to be conscious on living sustainable. I’m

asking our membership to go and welcome the entire crew back

from this voyage. We all should be there to see this spectacular

arrival that is a once in a lifetime site. If you want to be a volunteer

for this welcome home celebration you can call me for more

information. Our Club has been invited to become involved with

Hokule`a’s homecoming.

If you don’t feel like being around this crowd, then may I

suggest that you help with the King Kamehameha Hula

Celebration that’s going to be held at Neal Blaisdell Arena on

Saturday, June 14, 2017. We will need at least 15 people to help

with this event. If you are interested in helping, may I suggest that

you call chairperson Alberta Low at 455-9400 after 5:00pm and let

her know that you would be able to help with this club project.

This is a potluck event so you may want to bring your favorite dish

to share. We’re looking for more members to come out to our

activities and get involved so if you’re available please participate

in our activities so we can get to know you.

A hui hou,

Charles Kapua

President

PLEASE NOTE THE LONG RANGE SCHEDULE IS SPREAD OUT
