Malama Pono — Kaua‘i AIDS Project’s biggest annual fundraiser, Paradise Ride is this weekend. In conjunction with the event is the Jamboree for kids. The first 40 families signed up to have their children’s bikes inspected for safety by Bicycle John will also be fitted with helmets supplied free by a grant from the Rotary Club of Po‘ipu Beach.
The kids will participate in learning stations about bicycle control, rules of the road, hand signals and general safety followed by a half kilometer ride, each receiving a certificate of completion followed by a hot dog festival. Meet in the KCC parking lot.
Lihu‘e Lutheran youth
help in New Orleans
A small contingent of Kaua‘i Lutherans joined more than 37,000 Lutheran youth from across the United States in New Orleans in July for a convention with a mission. Besides attending the convention in the Super Dome, the young people from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America put good works into their faith practice in shifts, said Dean Schieve, a chaperone with a group of 54 from Calvary Lutheran in Grand Forks. “Every kid has to put in a day’s worth of service,” he said, “so there (were) 10,000 a day doing that, an impact that will mean months of work done and make a visible impact on the whole community, not to mention the emotional and spiritual connections of this place in terms of rebuilding.”
