NPIEN held its third annual fundraiser at Ohana Hawaiian Barbecue in Lakewood, CA hosted by owner Jin Lee. Ukulele champion Uncle Henry Kamae entertained the crowd the entire four hours of the event, and NPIEN friends, family, and community members dropped by to enjoy music and da ono grinds (translation good food). Seen at the aloha scene were board members Falanai Ala, president, Rita Scanlan, Martha Gusukuma Donnenfield, Aileen Tanimoto Matsuura, and Eugene Mafi. Rynette Labostrie Barr of Lagniappe Accounting, and NPIEN accuontant made an impressive appearance with her family entourage. Chief of Staff Tino Andres distributed raffle tickets to the crowd, and there were plenty of giveaways. Lorraine Telles of Cokkie Lee, NPIEN Silver Level Sponsor, sold some of her beautiful jewelry and made a donation! Three of the Linaka Polynesian Dancers performed beautiful Hawaiian dances. Thanks to all who came and made this a successful event!
