MAHALO MESSAGE from Kauanoe

---Fwded message -----
Aloha kākou to all the pals in the bestest class ....69 so fine!......Of course with a na'au ha'aha'a....

Mahalo nui to all our hard working leaders and the planning team that met and organized yet another memorable year for us, our 40th (kanahā!) year reunion. We are all blessed.

I am especially grateful to you all for the lūlū kālā for our program at Nawahiokalaniopuu. (Mahalo Wayne and the gang for the idea.) Our language belongs to us all, whether we speak a little or alot. It belongs to our aina, our people and all those who call Hawaii home. We are making some progress but there is so much left to do. Our children will carry our language and culture forward for their babies and generations to come. Can not give up! If our class meets on Hawaiʻi one year, we can plan a visit to the school.

If you included an address, Iʻll make sure to send a letter acknowledging the donation. There were two without an address and one without a name. If you'd like send me the info at:

Ke Kula ʻO Nawahiokalaniopuu

c/o Kauanoe Kamanā

16-120 Opukahaia St.

Keaʻau, HI 96748

Mahalo nui everybody!

A hui hou kākou me ke aloha,

Kaua
