Aloha Hui Members!

Once again, Mahalo to all the Uncles who helped "hoist" up Kai Lana Kaleo for safekeeping in the Center throughout the winter months. We will be transporting the Duke wa'a from the GSL marina to the Center this coming Saturday, November 15th.

Kumu Butch will be teaching a "hands-on" workshop on repairing wa'a paddles. This workshop is a must for the novice paddler as the HUI is anticipating an EXCITING 2009 Wa'a Paddling Season!

BOUNTIFUL CHRISTMAS LIGHT PARADE-December 5, 2008. It will be in the evening. Dress warm and get your Santa hats and Jingle bells ready! It will be lots of fun! More details to be provided soon. We are still looking for a portable generator, and our own Kanakaloka (Hawaiian Santa Claus)...any volunteers????

Week of November 2 - 8, 2008

Aloha Hui!
Sounds like everyone who went on the Wendover trip had a great time and all hui members returned back safely. Just a few items to put on your calendars...The Hui will be participating in the Bountiful Christmas Light Parade to be held Friday, December 5th. It will be a fun event! We are looking for a portable generator so we can decorate the Wa'a in Christmas lights. (contact Darren at ucorp4@q.com if you can help) We invite ALL Hui members to participate. The parade route is about 1 1/2 miles long, dress warm, wear your Santa hat, bring your jingle bells, and the Hui will provide the glow sticks so you can be "lit-up" too! Also, we need one of you Uncles to dress as Santa's helper a.k.a.-"Santa", the catch...you will need to be the Hawaiian Santa...so wear your surf shorts over your under armor leggings so you will be warm! :-) No worry...we will have hot cocoa at the end of the parade.
Next, there will be a Hui Board meeting for All Hui Board members this Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m.
The General Hui Member meeting will be November 19th at 6:30 p.m., this meeting is for ALL Hui Members, and those interested in joining the Hui.
Some of you may have noticed, Kai Lana Kaleo is being repaired in the Center. Thanks to Uncle Butch, Uncle Larry and their crew for helping with these repairs.
The "Hui Shack" is also coming along great. The ceiling is almost finished being repaired...thanks to Uncle Gene and Uncle Darren. The next phase will include some deep cleaning, we will keep you posted through the blog.
Ryan Pogue has let us know that the new Wa'a should be ready by the end of this month. We will keep you posted as we find out the exact dates.
Thanks again to each one of you for your support. Please plan on supporting the Hui and participating in the parade on December 5th. I Ku Mau Mau!
