Bishop Museum Tour

Yesterday, our members took a tour of the newly renovated Pacific Hall at the Bishop Museum.

We were led by Sandy D., who explained the origins and migration of Pacific Islander cultures across all of Oceania.

Afterwards, some of us enjoyed lunch at the cafe and happened to see the delivery of the treasured cloak and helmet of Kalaniopu'u to the museum!

Literacy Luncheon

On Sunday, February 28, our alumnae club organized a literacy luncheon at Assagio's Bistro. Our guest speaker was Mr. Mike Braham from the Hawaii Literacy, who shared his experience as a tutor. He also read a letter written by one of his students.

At the end of the luncheon, we presented Mr. Braham with a check to Hawaii Literacy, using money raised from our Make It, Bake It fundraiser last November. Members were also encouraged to bring books to donate to Hawaii Literacy's bookmobile.

Mahalo to our new literacy chair, Pam, for organizing this great event!
