Unfortunatly, this particular performace is sold out.


However, you don’t need to attend the show to join the group for dinner!

If interested, please contact Kathy Otani kotani@hawaii.rr.com, and she will include you in a group email approximately a week in advance with all the details.

What is it?!


Last week, we asked this question;

did you figure out the answer?


It is the new lighting fixture(s) in the foyer, outside the HNC office!


Thank you to Bill Seeley & Rafael Lopez for the installation, and lighting our way!
