Utah Lake Water Festival June 6, 2009

Aloha Hui Members!
We hope you are all planning on being at the Utah Lake Water Festival. Again the Hui was invited to this event, and we would like to take advantage of the opportunity to promote the Hui, the Sport of Outrigger Canoeing, The Hawaiian Cultural Center, and the upcoming Aloha Festival.
Hui Board Members will be meeting at the lake at 7:30 am Saturday morning to set up the tents and rig the wa'a. We invite each of you to join us! If you cannot come at 7:30 am, please come and help when you can. The event starts at 10am and runs until 2pm. This is a FREE event which promotes GREEN (non-motorized) lake activities.
We will need your help in our mini wa'a training clinic, and other Hui related activities that day. Dress for the weather and bring a potluck item to share if you plan to have lunch with the Hui.
We will be offering wa'a rides to members of the general public after they complete a mini training clinic. Once the members of the general public go through the clinic and sign the Hui waiver, they will be given a ticket which will allow them on the wa'a.
Seats number 1, 4, and 6 will be occupied by Hui Members. Kumu Butch or Tyler (Assistant Coach) will give Hui Members direction as to where they will sit if they are assisting in paddling with the general public. Please be respectful to their decisions. Kumu Butch has great knowledge of the water and has had many years of paddling experience. He is also aware that paddling in fresh water conditions can present challenges that are different from from the salt water or ocean paddling experience. Again, we ask you to respect him and the decisions he makes with regards to whether or not you help paddle in the canoe with members of the general public on board. If you are NOT paddling...please know that your help is still needed with the mini clinic.
Also, please let Darren know whether or not you'll be attending the event, and the time you'll be available to help. We are trying to get a count. You can e-mail him at ucorp4@live.com or call him at 801.243.7473.
Again this Event is at Utah Lake. Take the Provo-Center Street Exit (Exit 265), turn Right and follow the road to the Utah Lake Marina.
If you have a Hui shirt please wear it!
Thanks again for your help! We'll see you Saturday at Utah Lake!
I Ku Mau Mau!
