CLUB PARTY September 29, 2018
Amazing pupus, fun games and activities for our keiki, a yummy dinner buffet, a year-in-a-capsule slideshow during dinner, an amazing 35th anniversary cake created by master baker Ruby Datta, outstanding demos put on by our awesome students and Senpais, and some dancing at the end to burn off those extra calories -- what a PERFECT way to celebrate HSK's landmark event! As if that wasn't enough excitement, Sensei was presented with a 1001 golden crane design of our club mon by daughter Remy and the group she refers to as "Sensei's Angels", better known as Ann, Cassie, Karen, Susan, and Reyna. Whoever has the dubious honor to plan next year's party will be hard-pressed to top this one!!!
Many thanks to those who brought and shared their favorite pupus and desserts. A special "OSU!" and "MAHALO!" to Ruby for her beautifully designed "GI" cake. Undying gratitude to "Cassie's Corp" for always being willing to step up to the plate for the sake of HSK and me! Thanks also to Senpais Tracy Reynolds and Eloise Aguiar for creating those gorgeous centerpieces to adorn our tables, Senpai Cliff for programming and running the on-line auction, and to the countless others who contributed to make this a truly wonderful experience for ALL!!!
Be sure to check out videos at the end!!!
