Ho'okahiko Award Ceremony @ Duke's Waikiki March 19, 2009
Aloha Kakou!
Wow, what a wonderful Thursday it was last week at Duke's Waikiki! Please enjoy the photos that will tell you more than words about the Ho'okahiko Award that Nalani Kanaka'ole & Sig Zane have received.
Here is a quick review of the scene...
The Outrigger Staff Kimberly Agas, VP of Operations gave a wonderful introduction into the ceremony, and introduced Aunty Pualani Kanahele, who gave a speech filled with inspiration and wisdom. She wished Nalani's birthday (March 19) with the original Mele Inoa for her younger sister.
There was a special presentation by Lono Padella, and Outrigger Staff, who danced to the mele Hi'ilawe, sang by Unlce Po'onui and Kawika Kahiapo of Kaukahi. It was beautiful.
Then Ross Anderson, Senior General Manager of Duke's, presented the Ho'okahiko Award. After receiving the symbolic trophy, both Nalani and Sig gave a speech, as their family, friends and colleagues looked on.
Congratulations Nui to both Nalani and Sig!!!!
PS: Also, please check the Starbulletin report as well!
Aloha & Peace!

玲子様、
今さっき、ここサンルイスオビスポにあるCALPOLY大学のソプラノシアターから帰って来ました。HAPAのコンサートだったんですよ。とってもよかったです。私はシグさんのドレスを来て行きましたよ。グ〜。ハパの他にチャントをしながら舞台に上がって何曲か歌ってくれたダンディ―なハワイアンの人が居て、それがとってもよかったのです。でもこの男性、どこかで会った事がある感じ〜で、かっこいいんだけれど とっても親しみのある人で、途中でクムと紹介されたの。 チャールズ カウプさんです、そう、前に玲子さんのブログで見てた人でした。わぉ〜。彼が居た事でハパのコンサートがまた違う広がりをみせて本当によかった。ミスアロハ’02のマリア?さんだったかな、シグのドレスを来てましたよ!彼女の踊りはすばらしいと感心しました。あまりハワイアンに触れられない田舎町なので、今晩はちょっと興奮気味です。ではでは このへんで。
ヒロ子

それでは、ヒロにもいらしてね♪

- It's essential to hold an energetic bank-account
number for past 3 months. The absolute worst thing you could do would be to switch banks and enable the lenders
to overdraw your account. These loans are a
good source of cash for all those occasional extravagant nights out on the
town, or maybe a last minute weekend away.
Awesome issues here. I am very glad to see your article.
Thanks so much and I'm having a look forward to touch you.
Will you please drop me a e-mail?
