Samoan White Sunday


Our annual White Sunday Service on October 12 was beautiful.

Mahalo to Tusi Mayer for organizing the event, to Ina and Amie for wonderful music, and to our young people who always make it special.

_________________________________________

This past Saturday, the good folks at the non-profit "Gimme a Break" brought a terrific event to some of the caregivers in our community. More than thirty people gathered for the full-day program, which included massage, yoga, food, and fellowship. These caregivers, who do incredibly important work with kupuna, got a much-needed and

well-deserved break.
