Meeting @ Maili Beach Park

Aloha Mai Kakou! (April 15, 2012)

The meeting today was about the tents & tarps, T-Shirts & Lunch. It was suggested that we try to get names of who donates so that everyone doesn't bring the same thing. What we need is mayo, tuna, eggs, bread & chips. Leimomi Motoyama will put her name under Mayo. So anyone else donating please email or call me to put your name under one of the items.

Our next & last meeting will be June 17, 2012, five days before our reunion. This is to make sure everything is in place.

$6.00 to Ship one or two T-Shirts & $12.00 to Ship from about three to nine or maybe ten T-Shirts. That is domestic shipping only. The designs are attached for what the T-Shirts will look like. Some of you who I mail to may have some of the yellow on the kukui nut side with no yellow, cause I ran out of yellow ink. The form for ordering T-Shirts is also attached & if done on line will automatically do everything for you when you put the T-Shirts you want or you may call me to put in your order & send me your check.

Also, seniors will be first for lunch & dinner because we don't want them to stand in line to long & we want them to feel comfortable. Someone may get a plate for them so they don't have to wait in line.

In Attendance: Sanford Kame'ekua, Bernard Ku'ehu, Leilani Manini, Leimomi Motoyama, April Panui, Lehua, Querry & Johnna Willis-Thomas

We will have a meeting on February 12, 2012 Sunday @ Maili Beach Park at the first parking lot towards Honolulu. The first meeting was messed up because of the Apec, and the next meeting was messed up somehow. I will also mail out this letter to those of you who don't have email addresses. The permit is for June 22, 23, 24, 2012 Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I also need tent verification. If you are coming and planning to put up a tent or a tarp, I need to know. Even if you think of putting up one or the other or both, please let me know cause I have to have an approval by the Director of Parks & Recreation which takes about two months. The tarps all I need is the size. They hired two inspectors to overseer the permits, so if it's not on the permit, there will ask you to take it down. So, the people who are not on the list, will be the first to be asked to take down whatever is not listed. There will be twenty cars allowed to stay overnight, so if you need a car permit, please let me know. For those of you who don't have an email address, you can call me. A map of the area is in this letter. Please bring tables, chairs, potluck and something to eat with.
