Plans for the 2025 Reunion are really starting to amp up! Check out the minutes from this past Saturday's meeting for some updates. Highlights include: finalizing a space and dates for the reunion, outlining reunion committees, and digital genealogy book sales.

We also recognized that Saturday meetings are super difficult for many folks to attend. We'll be incorporating weekday zoom meetings in the hopes that more folks might be able to join in the reunion planning and ‘ohana fellowship. We hope to see you on Zoom at our next meeting on May 22nd at 7pm. :)

Mahalo to everyone who was able to join us last Saturday for the first general membership meeting of 2021. The meeting minutes can be accessed via this link.

It was so nice to see you folks and to still be able to connect, even if it was just virtually. For everyone who wasn't able to make it, we hope that you will join us for future meetings and activities, such as the online genealogy and gravesite workshops that we have planned for later on in the spring.

You can always check our website for announcements and important updates or let us know if you want to be added to our e-mail list, and we can send you notifications for upcoming events that way.

Aloha kākou,

Happy new year! We hope that your first socially-distanced holiday season was still packed with the same aloha, laughter, and relaxation. 

Although we had initially hoped that COVID-19 and the practices of social distancing would be a temporary adjustment, we quickly came to the realization that this is indeed our new normal. As such, we made the decision to cancel all in-person meetings and events until further notice, instead opting to use the Zoom online meeting platform to safely gather.

That being said, we invite all family members to join us for our first general membership meeting on January 16, 2021 at 4:00p HST. If you would like to attend, please send an email to safferywebsite@gmail.com so that we can email you the link to join. We hope to see you there!

Mālama pono,

Nāʻehu-Saffery ʻOhana Association
