Kudos to the Center for Spiritual Living ‘ohana on surpassing its $25,000 goal during the CSL telethon (how did Charles Woolfork get fellow emcee Patrick to wear that dress?) fundraiser Saturday, where RoseAnne Jones was taking a break from setting up ART Kaua‘i (it’s set to open today from noon at the Kaua‘i Society of Artists gallery at Kukui Grove Center) to man the phones with Sue Wood.

More kudos to Terri Mansfield and the St. Catherine ‘ohana on the blessing of the Peace Pole at St. Catherine School. Terri said Carol Aki came back following the ceremony with 1,000 peace prayers that were added to the more than 300 that were placed by Bernard Carvalho Jr. at the dedication of the Peace Pole that was contributed by Terri and her husband.
Aaron Swink (he gets excited about sharks) of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Aquatic Resources will be helping Jean Souza (she’s got limited hours since Kaua‘i Ocean Discovery is still waiting to reopen after being closed by COVID-19), so hurry and pick up those shark learning kits before they run out (starts at 11 a.m.). Kudos to Kukui Grove Center (Dave Sosner was checking out the new, expanded outdoor area near Kalapaki Joe’s) for partnering with Kaua‘i Ocean Discovery on the installation of that very-cool, shark educational panel.
And, if you’re lucky, Nannie Ann Apalla of the Kaua‘i Resilience Project might still have tickets for the Saturday night Kaua‘i Family Movie Night drive-in at the Kekaha Neighborhood Center. Gotta check their social-media page.
