Hawaii Int’l Forgiveness Day to honor Queen Lili’uokalani

Aloha Kakou,

The Hawaii International Forgiveness Day will honor our Queen Lili’uokalani as a model of forgiveness on August 4th, 2:00pm to 4:00pm at the State Capitol Rotunda.

Queen Lili’uokalani was a woman ahead of her time. She is still relevant and her message so critical today. Our Queen chose to rise above all the huge challenges and make a choice for the best interests of all her people. She did not to go to war and took the high road. In our souls, we know this to be true and that is why we love, honor and appreciate her for all that she stands for. When we choose to move past our own anger and hurt, we can gain a higher level of effectiveness in our work.

We are planning to make ti leaf lei at this event that will be large enough to surround Iolani Palace as a tribute to our Queen, on her birthday. We need your help with the following tasks.

Locate and pick ti leaves

Prepare ti leaves: 
Debone and soften the leaves (freeze, microwave, leave in the sun)
Bring it to the State Capitol on August 4th

August 4th, 2 – 5pm, State Capitol Rotunda:
Demonstrate how to make ti leaf lei with a small group
Participate in the event

Please call Brad Kaimi Lum at 723-9154 or Evern Williams, 392-1486 if you can kokua.

Mahalo,
Evern Williams, Vice President
