Mahalo/thanks to Mutual ….
Mahalo/thanks to Mutual 11's Betty Vanderwal and Lori Chamberlin for the invitation to
entertain with Hui O Hula music and dance. Before the Hawaiian dance program, neighbor Phil Mandeville gave blessings/pule: “May there always be tradewinds behind you, rainbows above you, and aloha all around you.” Just like his words, Feb. 12 was beautiful, with a soft, gentle breeze after the morning showers. Gracious hostesses Vanderwal and Chamberlin lifted many
spirits with whimsical decorations, colorful leis, rainbow masks, and bountiful pizza, snacks and beverages during the show. One shareholder said it was like a “get-out-of-jail day.” This festive event was captured by video producer Joe Osuna and may be viewed on his YouTube channel, joeseniorvideo, at https://youtu.be/PEPj2cb28ss; it will also be broadcast on SBTV3
in March. During these unusual times, Hui O Hula appreciates the opportunity to gather and
practice at Veterans Plaza; all are welcome to join. Dancers and the band are also glad to
bring aloha—free of charge—to any part of LW provided it is outdoors with ample space. Call
(562) 431-2242 for class information or to schedule a performance.
