Please join us in packing snack packs or rolling forks in napkins! It is a simple, yet essential need as the River of Life Mission feeds hundreds of houseless on a DAILY basis. Along with a hot meal and snack bag, they minister to this community to help bring them hope and a dash of faith. If you haven’t helped previously, it is definitely a worthwhile cause! Please contact Laurie by Wednesday, October 16th if you are interested!

As a special surprise for the PCH residents, our president, Brenda Young Matsui, has graciously offered to choreograph and teach a simple Chinese fan dance and is looking for 8 enthusiastic volunteers that would like to learn and perform that day. It will be a FUN way to exercise our brains, our bodies AND do something good for our community! If you are interested, please contact Laurie Broderick, (808) 554-9422 or laurie.broderick@icloud.com by September 11th. In addition, we are seeking other volunteers! If you have any talents (singing, dancing, musical instrument, etc.) or would like to volunteer any family members to perform, that would be great as well! Please contact Laurie with the details! Michela Hammond and Karen Wong have already agreed to dance and sing (respectively) so even if you are not performing, please come to support our ACUW sisters!
