Quotes/Proverbs
In what other land save this one is the commonest form of greeting not ,ood day, nor ,ow d'ye do", but "Love"? That greeting is 'Aloha': love, I love you, my love to you... It is a positive affirmation of the warmth of one's own heart-giving. Jack London

Kapulau is in the air, don't you think? It's only 11:00 a.m. and my temperature gauge reads over 60. Ahi wela! Bikini weather...bring out the slippas!
What a fun meeting we had last month. I felt a new energy surge through our hui and enjoyed seeing all the new faces. I want to see more Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart at our meetings so I am depending on you to help. This is Your Club and we need to keep our culture alive so I look forward to your kokua to make it grow!
A warm mahalo nui to our Advisor, Greg Kurahashi, for demonstrating to us at our last Hui how to make kalua pig oven style. Greg and his assistant, Kyle Chang, showed us how to prepare a pork butt kalua style and even provided a cooked version for us to eat at the Hui. Broke da mout man! Aunty Jean Carpenter, our in-house chef and cooking critic, gave her seal of approval. I could see Greg sweating bullets and peering over at her during his demo. You pulled it off. No worries or stink eye!
Don't forget to attend Deva's Luʻau on Saturday, March 10. A group of Nā Hawaiʻi members will be serving the food and the show is always really great. See inside newsletter for more information.
This month on Sunday, March 11, Lisa Chang will be sharing with us what she learned last year at a hula/Hawaiian cultural workshop in San Francisco. Maybe we can talk her into showing us how to do a simple hula? Come show your support, potluck as always, talk story and enjoy the comradery of your Nā Hawaiʻi ʻohana.
Next month we will have our regular Hui on April 15 and we (you) will also be walking in the River Walk in Vancouver on April 28 to help raise funds for Nā Hawaiʻi. If you can't walk or attend, sponsor someone that is by donating kala...$$$. We will be carrying our Nā Hawaiʻi banner and if we can get away with it, our Hawaiian flag. We walk proud to help carry our traditions into the future!
Komo mai kau mapuna hoe! Dip your paddle in! Come join in on the fun! See you at the Hui!
