Decorations chair Cora Nieto & her committee members (balloon girl Lucille Nakamoto) did an excellent job(we had a lot of good comments as to how we decorated the cafeteria); Thank you to the members who came out at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday to set up for the night's event. GOOD JOB GANG!
Sharon Nakai, Refreshments Chair, and her committee members (including her classmates) did a good job taking care of the sandwiches, chili and rice/hot dog, many desserts, etc. The members as well as our friends(Aiea Ballroom Dance Club Arthur & Joan Oda-owners of the New Aala Bakery in Liliha) came through with more refreshments that killed our worries if we would have enough refreshments (Thank you members & friends). To Rudy Luat, Pan Pacific President, for obtaining the New Aala Bakery donation.
Sisters Harriet Kihara & Marion Iwasaki for taking cafe of the registration table making sure everyone got tagged with a red wrist band, For many members who help the "two sisters," thank you very much.
Tony Alcover and his crew for taking care of the parking ( the parking lot was filled all the way to the Salt Lake Library. Good job Tony and gang.
