Lori Almarza (Lynette Medrano-Stine knew where she was going to be for lunch) said there’s still time for nonprofit groups to get involved with the Kauai United Way Walk-a-thon that will kick off early, Oct. 27, at Kukui Grove Center. Participating groups (one group is definitely the Kapaa High School Interact Club with Aunty Joan Kealalio, and isn’t this close to Nellie Okamoto’s birthday?) can raise money for themselves while helping the Kauai United Way — all while getting a healthy morning workout (yes, the Hawaii Medical Service Association — HMSA — is a sponsor) and being able to participate in some pre-Halloween fun (Melissa McFerrin-Warrack said this is the same day as the center’s Halloween Festival starting after the walk)…and you don’t need to turn in the monies raised until Nov. 12.
