It was a beautiful, sunny day at Nani Mau Gardens on Tuesday, October 25th, where Papa ‘Ekolu attended the Princess’s Ball in honor of our beloved founder Ke Ali’i Pauahi. The keiki first took a stroll through the gardens, enjoying the flora and fauna just as our princess did in her own gardens at her home Haleakalā. A delicious buffet lunch followed the garden tour, and the hit entree of the day was the chicken katsu. Finally, our talented haumāna demonstrated their new dance skills by dancing the waltz. (Mahalo, Mrs. Debus, for teaching them the dance). It was a perfect day to celebrate the life of such an astonishing woman!
Mahalo to our special guests for joining us at the ball. We were blessed to have our Po’o Kula, Mrs. Nae’ole Wong, Po’o Kumu, Dr. Werner, Hope Po’o Kumu, Mrs. Paleka and Mrs. Debus with us. In addition, mahalo nui loa for the assistance of our awesome chaperones: Tommy Pratt, Teana Kaho’ohanohano, Tamara Kalilikane, Traci Young, Kanoe Awong, Hope Ke-Leibner, Cara Dudoit, Kelly Thome, Bernadette Keli’i, and Kehau Abe.
As soon as we receive the pictures from Mr. Kamisato, we will share them with you. Here are a few other pictures from our special day. Everyone looked so stunning!
