Our Hawaiian Club 'ohana is growing each day. It's such an awesome thing to see our inbox filled with messages such as these:-- "Aloha, I came to the hawaiian club last night and really enjoyed it. I would like to join and ask for the information that i need to do it. Y'all are awesome!"
-- "Aloha! My name's ______ and, if it's still possible, I'd like to join the Hawaiian Club."
-- "Aloha! My name is ______ and I was wondering if its not too late to join the hawaii club?"
Why such an overwhelming response to be a part of our 'Ohana? Well, it's no secret. We live aloha, and we love our members. People notice, and they want to be a part of the family. They truly do. Here's a little story which reflects that:
Last Thursday at our Hawaiian Music workshop, a Japanese student walked past McKay 175 and seemed captivated by the 'ukulele and singing which filled the room. Our Hawaiian Club was learning "He Hawai'i Au," one of the songs we'll be singing at SongFest on Nov. 9th. Noticing her interest, we invited this Japanese student into our workshop where she was so touched by the music and the Aloha Spirit that she, too, wants to join!
It is truly amazing what "aloha" can do, and we would like to mahalo all of you who take time out of your busy schedules to be a valued part of our weekly workshops. Without your attendance and support, our 'ohana would be pau hana! (haha)
For those who haven't completed our short online survey yet, will you please do so now? This helps to ensure that your voice is heard in our 'ohana.
Whether we're singing Hawaiian mele (songs), jamming on the 'uke and guitar, dancing hula (to Hiki Mai or, perhaps, Noho Paipai), learning Hawaiian, getting a lomilomi massage, or just "talking story" and having a good time, we hope you can be a part of these memories. On behalf of the Hawaiian Club Presidency, we're glad you're a part of our growing 'ohana!
Aloha,
Kale, Vice-President

I too want to express my appreciation for the time and effort put into making our club what it is today. YOU GUYS ROCK!
Aloha, I wanna thank the Hawaiian club committee for organizing such a fantastic club. Although I have graduated, I still make sure I join the Hawaiian club. I enjoyed myself very much in the Tuesday activity (hula & ukulele) and will be there every Tuesday and Thursday. Thanks for bringing the Aloha spirit to the club.
cheee....uehe,'ami and slide....Hui Hawai'i fo lyphe....KAU INOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to say that this is the best club ever. I've made so many new friends and have learned so much from all of you. If you have a friend who isn't a part of this club, you should bring them; they just don't know what they are missing. Thanks to all those who share their talents and all the hard work they put into making this club AWESOME. Mahalo.
it is so cool to have our club on-line. We can become more like Ohana this way.)))
See you tonight
