Hi‘ilei Berg (she’s still a Kawaikini School student) earned first place honors in the Avant Garde category with Lenny Collins finished second,and Barbara Green being happy with third place because the first place winner is one of her students.
Jamilee Jimenez said a lei shop in Kaimuki is pushing February as Aloha Shirt Month. First Hawaiian Bank and the Grand Hyatt Kaua‘i should take up this offer because of the gorgeous varieties their representatives had on during their presentations, which included blessing a new branch site and donating to the Kaua‘i United Way.
