Yesterday's 'Ahahui Lā'au Lapa'au kick-off party was an amazing success! Mahalo to all who donated their time, talents, food, kala, and aloha to this awesome event. We had so many wonderful raffle prizes and silent auction items; oil paintings, handmade jewelry, gift certificates, handmade natural beauty products, tinctures, clothing items, native plants, and so much more! Congratulations to all who took those awesome gifts home with them yesterday and again, mahalo to those who donated. Your generosity helped us to fundraise toward club t-shirts, printing costs, and future events.We also had some excellent mea ‘ai and inu donated to our event that helped keep everyone healthy and satisfied - coconut date rolls, vegetarian curry, baked ‘uala, green salad, smoked kalo dip, raw veggies, fruit salad, pickled onion, whole grain chips and hummus, sushi, mamaki tea, and apple-banana-peanut butter smoothies to name just a few. Again, mahalo to those who donated their culinary talents to our pā‘ina yesterday. It wouldn’t have been the same without the ‘ono grindz.The “seed bomb” making was also a great success. We made ‘uhaloa and nīoi seed bombs (seeds encapsulated in rich dirt and natural fertilizers) that will be ready for planting in just a few days. These seed bombs can be used in cultivated areas or for “guerilla gardening” in the wild.If you didn’t have the opportunity to join us at our pā‘ina yesterday, mai hopohopo – don’t fret – we will have an all-member pā‘ina at the beginning of fall semester to welcome new members and re-group after summer.Mahalo ā nui! See you at Kū Like Kākou!
