Hi ladies! A lot of information was discussed at yesterday’s meeting, and since so many dancers weren’t in attendance, I figured I run over some of the bigger topics. Here we go!
Halau Fundraiser
1. The basics: Halau Pomaikaikalani’s annual fundraiser will be held on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2009, 3 to 8 p.m. at Rumours in the Ala Moana Hotel (in case you were living under a rock and didn’t know!).
2. All $10 admisssion tickets for dancers to sell as a fundraiser should have already been distributed. If you did not receive your tickets, please contact Kumu as soon as possible. Each dancer is responsible for her own monies fundraised, and will need to turn in such monies based on the due dates of our competition expenses.
3. Each dancer will be required to donate $50 in raffle ticket prizes, 3 prizes worth $10 each (for the $1 raffle tickets) and $20 in cash or gift certificates (for the $5 raffle tickets). Dancers will be permitted to couple-up for the $5 raffle prizes (2 dancers combine for a $40 gift certificate).
4. On the day of the fundraiser, all dancers will be required to check in at Rumours at noon. Please remember, as always, no outside food or drink is allowed in Rumours — so eat lunch early!
Halau Uniforms
1. Money for new halau uniforms will be collected at our first practices after the Feb. 14 fundraiser. $50 will be due on Feb. 20 for the wahines, and Feb. 27 for the kupunas.
2. Once our new uniforms are ready, they will be required at every practice. There will be a $5 penalty for not wearing the proper uniform (including skirt and leotard) to practice. Any monies collected will be put toward refreshments for the dancers.
Ia ‘Oe E Ka La Flight Information
1. We will leave Honolulu at 2:05 p.m. on Nov. 4, arriving in Oakland, Calif. at 9 p.m.
2. We will return on Nov. 9, leaving Oakland at 9 a.m. and arriving in Honolulu at 12:05 p.m.
3. As of Jan. 22, Hawaiian Airlines priced our trip at a little over $650 for our group.
If you have any questions or concerns at all, please do not hesitate to contact me or kumu.
Stay tuned for a post outlining our schedules through February.
Mahalo!
