Traveler Helen of Queen Piarei belts out a song on Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023, before doors to Tokuda In Your Town opened at the Lihu‘e Public Library. Helen, detoured from her original destination of Mele Music on Maui, and landed on Kaua‘i in her quest to find Rhythm (including good water and peace).

Kudos, Representative Jill Tokuda, Hawai‘i District 2, and her staff (David Taga was a fill-in for the Big Island staffer) on hosting the Tokuda In Your Town event that allowed people, who were unable to participate in the Kaua‘i Chamber of Commerce luncheon with the congresswoman. The event gave people an opportunity to meet and discuss their individual concerns with federal government matters, and issues beside the Maui disaster.
