“Us next gens all use Fil Am,” he said. William and Lea were just part of the many vendors at the Kauai Filipino American History Month that offered a wide range of goods appealing to the local crowd. Lovelea gets a break on Saturday when they will depart the Kauai Philippine Cultural Center to participate in the monthly K+M Market from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. before the Kukui Grove Movie Night.
No, the Las Vegas trip is sponsored by the HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union (Ricky Oshita was being the Art Umezu wannabe during the delegation visits from the Iwaki and Moriyama cities) and is located at the Kauai Filipino American History Month.
Kumu’s Cupboard, the Kauai educators’ resource center, is the beneficiary of the Kauai Visayan Club 23rd International Costume Ball that will take place on Oct. 26 from 6 p.m. at the Outrigger Kauai Beach Resort. Virgie Cruzada was at the Kauai Filipino American History Month selling admission tickets. For those who need tickets for the social and fundraising event before Oct. 26, call Adrian Ardiente at 808-940-4725.
Julie Demond of Jules of Da Aina is happy the Kauai Filipino American History Month ends Saturday night because she can set up for the Kauai Chocolate Festival on Sunday at Kilohana. She’s even happier to have won tickets to the event so her son can sample all that chocolate…is Will Lydgate and Lydgate Farms going to be there?
