The first weekend of the fourth quarter got off to a good start, with the right combination of rest, relaxation — and fun and games. With Friday night came “Keawe/DVD” and most boys opted to spend their evening in the gym at Keawe, while those electing to stay in Nae’ole for “DVD” were treated to the Merrie Monarch Festival on television. Keawe/DVD went so well Friday night, an encore performance was scheduled for Saturday night! Again, most boys attended Keawe as the conclusion of Merrie Monarch played back at the hale.
Sunday brought with it chapel and Kahu had prepared a wonderful service for the all who attended. The service culminated with the release of a gaggle of rainbow doves, symbolic of the promise God made that he will never flood the Earth — or bring suffering to His people. After chapel came brunch, and after brunch, runs to KamShop. Around 3 p.m., the boys and girls converged on Keawe to participate in a double-hui. Planned for the group was “Kings and Queens,” a version of half-court basketball. There were eight teams total and the young men and women enjoyed competing against one another in a fun and safe environment:
