Happy birthday to Juvie Bercasia (Josie Pablo knew she forgot something!) who celebrated not only her birthday, but being part of the Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital’s third “Celebrate Life” cancer walk Thursday! Happy birthday, too, to Robyn Acob who finished
Happy birthday to Juvie Bercasia (Josie Pablo knew she forgot something!) who celebrated not only her birthday, but being part of the Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital’s third “Celebrate Life” cancer walk Thursday!
Happy birthday, too, to Robyn Acob who finished with high-point honors at the Wednesday KIF air riflery matches to lead the Waimea girls to the KIF division title.
Mahalo to Uncle Herman Paleka, Marilyn Matsumoto and all those versatile Lihue Seniors Ukulele Group for the variety of music provided at the event. Maybe they’ll be playing one of their bon dance specials at intermission for next year’s bon dance calendar?
Aki Conquest couldn’t help but be part of the celebration, the Joyful Noise ensemble continuing to play long after the start and George Mukai’s avocados were put to good use for those avocado pops (a nice touch to a warm morning walk).
Edie Ignacio Neumiller said the Kauai Status of Women Committee will host the next cancer walk Wednesday with Bev Brody doing the warmups (she’ll probably walk the event, too) starting at 11:15 a.m. at the Moikeha Building — wear pink!
