Committee Suggestions

Committee Suggestions:
1. Entertainment, music, golf, etc.
2. Fundraising, raffle & auctions, etc.
3. Activities or programs for kids
4. Genealogy
5. Photography, video & memorabilia
6. Picnic, banquet, table decorations & locations, etc.

8. Workshops, lei making, cooking, hala weaving, etc.

These are the committees that were brought up in the meeting on October 26, 2008. I have added a few things which I thought we may need in the committees. These can be changed or combined if ‘Ohana members wish any changes. If there are more committees needed or should be combined please let me know your suggestions. As for what committees we have at the moment, we now need volunteers who can help us in each department. If you wish to help us out, let me know which committee you would like to be in and whoever is in that committee will have each other’s contact number or email. It won’t matter where you are, you still can help. If we can get some volunteers for each committee, I can at least bring this up at the next meeting we have of who volunteered to be in a committee. I will be ahead of the game where some of the proposed items are already done so that we can move on to something new. E’olu’olu i ko’u mana’o a me kokua au!

Aloha Ohana, I am youngest of 8 children born to Elizabeth Kananionapua Pe'elua Negrillo(Richard) Daughter of Jesse Kaohanaali'i Pe'elua and Eva Lahela Poaha Pe'elua of Kalamaula/Kamililoa Moloka'i. I was just informed by family members of the Willis Ohana that a family reunion is in progress. I would be more then greatful to be a part of this not only for reuniting with family members but also for geneaolgy purposes needed for Hawaiian Homes purposes. If anyone could contact me via email at anegrillo@queens.org or call me on my cell at 779-2552 or my direct line at 547-4786, I humbly appreciate it. The last reunion i remember was at my Grandpa Jesse and Grandma Eva Pe'elua's home next to Hotel Moloka'i back in the 80's, when all the families from the different islands wore coordinating colored t shirts.. I think its time for re connecting again.. Look forward to meeting and talking to more Ohana. Malama kou piko!!
