Sovereign Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012
Aloha kakou,
Sovereign Sunday is right around the corner—Sunday, Jan. 15 this year. We’ll be laying out the ku`e name signs, probably beginning around 9 am. Hank Fergustrom has the permit for use of the palace grounds, so is the one calling for kukakuka about the future. I’m pretty sure others will be there to display documents and participate in the program. No one has sent around a flyer, to my knowledge, so I don’t know what the agenda looks like. However, we will be there with the signs. We can use all the help we can get! It’s a time-consuming and admirable work. And the names really do want to be out there. Please join us at the palace this Sunday. I’ll get there with the signs before 9, but we should start to lay out the signs at 9 am. Baron, please bring flags. We’ll be in the same area as for the Queen’s birthday celebration, Diamond Head-makai quadrant. Looking forward to seeing you all.
Hank Fergustrom will be spearheading a talk story at Iolani Palace grounds this Sunday, Jan. 15, beginning at 9 am. All are invited to bring mana`o to share (and food, too). We’ll also be laying out the ku`e name signs. Yes, we could use help, so come and help us! Please join us in remembering our history (why we even have an event like ‘sovereign Sunday’) and honoring our ancestors who signed the petition against annexation of Hawaii to the U.S. It worked! We weren’t annexed!
For information about the day’s agenda, email Hank directly at hankhawaiian@yahoo.com or call him at 938-9994.
Lynette
