Live For You, Live For Us

This year's 'Ohana Saturday was yet another success! The weather was a perfect cool yet comfortable 80 degrees outside. Which was perfect for our many vendors posted outside.  Since we partnered with the Queen's Center, many of our information booths were targeted to help build a healthier Pacific Islander Community. Those who came were able to get more information on how they could transition to a healthier lifestyle, and also participate in free screenings to help get them jump started in the right direction.

We had a variety of food booths serving island favorites like BBQ chicken, Kalua Pig, Fried Rice, Samoan Chop Suey, Patele's and even some delicious Shaved Ice to keep everyone cool and refreshed. We also had great entertainment provided by Tausala and Leone Saaga's halau. Our keiki were kept busy with fun activities hosted by the Queen's Center and a local face painter and balloon artist. Big mahalo to our planning committee Aunty Joyce and Uncle Sale Ah You, Jacob Fitisemanu and Fui Taukei'aho for their contributions in making this year's 'Ohana Saturday a huge success. Also a big mahalo to all of our family and friends who volunteered their time to help with the set up and break down. We truly couldn't do it without you. Mahalo.
