Mahalo To the island of Kaua‘i!

I would like to send a warm heartfelt MAHALO to all of Kaua‘i for helping us celebrate King Kamehameha’s Birthday on June 17, 2006, and especially those who participated to honor the King. I was saddened by the lack of community participation but am grateful for all those who came out to participate and support.

I have since had many individuals committing to help next year, so I am hopeful that next year will be a success.

Again MAHALO and ALOHA to the people of Kaua‘i for your continued support in this great celebration.

If anyone would like to be a part of the celebration planning or participating you may email me at kingkamehamehacelebration@yahoo.com and information will be provided.

Mahalo nui loa,

• W. Kahanu Smith
