Organizers of the school Ke Kula Nā ʻAʻaliʻi Kū Makani o Kaʻū also took enrollment for the Kū hāweo program where families come together to teach children as the school progresses toward certification.
Donations of furnishings, arts, household goods and other items are welcomed. The opening follows a successful auction of items and a monetary donation from a family supporting the school. Winners of auction items came by to pick them up.
One of the school's founders, Raylene 'A'uli Fujikawa Moses, said, "Mahalo nui to all the winners of our online auction who came yesterday to pick up their winnings and to everyone who supported the opening of our thrift store! We were blessed to have and enjoy the musical talents of Pōkiʻi Seto, Ty Chun, Kaukaohu Wahilani and Nakana Evans! Your generosity and kōkua play a vital role in uplifting the first Hawaiian Immersion kula here in Kaʻū. Together, we are nurturing the future of ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi and perpetuating our culture. Aloha nui loa!"

SOUTHERN- MOST ALASKA PICNIC: This is an annual event and organizers said they want to get the word out early. It is sponsored by folks who go back and forth between Alaska and Hawai'i Island to live, usually wintering here and spending summer in Alaska. This island is popular with Alaskans because of the similarity of places, with big mountains and vast open landscapes, small towns and a largely wilderness coast.
