"An Old Hawaii Night" is coming up Saturday, November 22 at Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort and Spa.  This is our every-two-year gala fundraiser, which helps support every one of our Family Support Services programs.   It’s a wonderful opportunity to remember Boat Days, Hawaii Calls, and the Kodak Hula Shows, and the quieter and gentler times of Hawaii’s yesteryear,  as you support our good and important work.

The event starts at 5 p.m. with no host cocktails, and music by Joe Spencer’s delightful Hawaiian Hula Sunset Seranaders, a wonderful time to reconnect with friends.  It’s also the opening of   our silent auction, focusing on Hawaiiana gathered by McCandless Ranch owner, kama’aina Cynthia Salley, a longtime supporter of FSSWH programs.   This year, we’ll have Okolehau Decanters, Siestaware, jewelry from Ming’s, milo and koa wood perfume containers, and more, plus activities, dinners, trips,  and fun events. 

Our live auction, with auctoneer Pat Batchelder, includes an exquisite custom koa dining table crafted by local woodworker Rod Crisp, original oil paintings by Martha Greenwell and Carol Greenwell, elegant evening meals and day trips to kama’aina family estates, an African Safari and other far-flung adventures.

Aloha Performing Arts Company’s Artistic Director, Jerry Tracy, will once again serve as our Master of Ceremonies.

We appreciate the support of our generous sponsors and our dedicated volunteers in making this event happen.

We’ll enjoy a sumptuous seated dinner with a choice of menu items featuring fresh island products and a delicious dessert.   Please make your reservations now.    Tickets are $125 per person ($1,250 for a table of ten).    Please call Bev Fraser at Family Support Services by November 17 at 808-334-4152, or send her an email and she’ll contact you at aohn@fsswh.org.
