Let’s try this! On communion Sundays, Aloha Hour will be served in Kanda Hall on a trial basis. There will be more seating, more shade (inside) and just more comfort all around. We have had wheelchairs donated (thank you Shannon) to help those who find the hill hard to manage. The ramp has received some tender loving care for the safety of all. Our first trial run will be next week, November 10. It is hoped everyone will give it a try. Send your comments to: office@iaoucc.org , call 808-244-7353 or speak to a council member.
