Paddling and Safety Clinic

Aloha Everyone!
In preparation for our May 2nd Waterfest we are planning on having a Paddle and Safety Clinic to be held April 18th from 10 am to noon at the GSL Marina. You may be wondering WHY?

First, To Expose New Paddlers to our sport and to hopefully gain their support as Hui members.
Second, We are seeking more participants in the Waterfest from our Utah Community.
Third, Create awareness of the Hawaiian Cultural Center and all the activities offered.
Lastly, Safety is our top priority and this is a good reminder for all of us as we begin our paddling season.

We will be circulating a flyer to advertise this Clinic soon. The clinic will cost $10.00 and will include insurance for 30 days from the date of the clinic. This fee will also allow clinic participants to paddle in the Waterfest.

All Hui Members who are Current on their Hui Membership/Insurance fees are EXEMPT from this fee. We know this is something that was not brought up at our Hui Board Meeting, it is something we just recently thought of as a way to generate more participants and exposure for our upcoming paddle.

Please convey your thoughts and comments to hui_paoakalani@live.com by Monday, April 6th.
Please remember the May 2nd Water Fest is meant to be 100% demonstrational. But we would like as many participants as possible.

If the Media is there, we would like them to see lots of participation from people of all ages. We are thinking of the "bigger picture"...not just the Hui but trying to Save the Hawaiian Cultural Center too.

Mahalo,
Darren and Ben
