--- THUS ONE LEARNS ---
2008 was a great year with a group of 34 having an authentic “Hawaiian” experience ... byactually traveling to Hawaii! We had a once in a lifetime workshop with Kunewa Mook (voicefrom Lilo & Stitch) the Kumu Hula for the TOP Hawaiian Halau, Kamuela. We experienced afun backyard luau at Germaine’s. We traveled the Polynesian Islands at the Polynesian CulturalCentre. We met TOP Hawaiian artist Kim Taylor Reece. We swam in the many shores aroundOahu. We made our way through the Dole Pineapple Maze. We visited the Memorial at PearlHarbor. Among many other activities (like eating JUMBO pizzas at Costco) we just enjoyed the‘tourist’ time and ‘shopping’!
2008 also welcomed TWO new editions to the Heilani Mascot team! LeitualoleTagata was born on September 15th. HeilaniTahiata was born exactly 6 weeks later onOctober 27th. Ka’iulani Tagata turned 3 yearsold on November 8th.
