MID-JULY ARTS & CULTURE EVENTS
Here are last-minute additions that missed the mid-July E-Calendar sent out on 7/13/18:
Grant information from Nalani Brun:
Just want to let you know that the OED RFP for all sectors is going to be released on Sunday. Information should be in The Garden Island and we hope that our RFP will be uploaded to our website on Sunday. http://www.kauai.gov/oed
There is a NON-MANDATORY workshop to discuss the RFP on Tuesday, July 17 at 3pm at the Moikeha Meeting Rooms 2A&B which is not the usual place we meet but instead across the breezeway where the Planning Commission meets. For those of you who are looking at the HTA funding, this is a much smaller pot of funds and not all tourism related. This is an Economic Development RFP touching on the following sectors: Tourism, Creative Industries, Emerging markets, Workforce Capacity, Agriculture and Sustainability. Each sector has its own description. There is not a lot of change from last year.
Deadline is August 16. MAHALO!

A huge heart-warming plug for EKK:
Aloha Carol! I am DeAnna Sanders, Lady Ipo’s friend in California (the one that she wrote the song about). I’ve been meaning to tell you something. I have been so happy every time I have attended EKK that I wanted to bring the experience home to my community in far Northern California. We have a local non-profit called the Humboldt Folklife Society. I have insisted for years that Hawaiian music and Hula ARE the folk music and dance of the Hawaiian Islands. I wanted Lady Ipo to come and do a ukulele/hula circle of her songs. Try as we might, it has never worked out. This week is our Folklife festival and this week is Ipo’s church time on big island.
To make a long story short, my group The Humboldt Ukulele Group is leading a workshop a la EKK tomorrow. I will be teaching 3 songs. One is Uncle Nathan’s Ka Pua Lehua O Pahoa (the way Ipo sings it) which will also have a hula. We will also teach Fragrant Memories of You and You’d Rather Be On Kaua’i with me that she composed. Ipo knows all about this and is pleased. The Theme is “Friendship and Aloha.”
I picked Uncle Nathan’s song to honor the Lehua blossom and our hope that it will survive the blight and Pahoa hoping the town will thrive in spite of the lava. I chose Fragrant Memories because the last few hurricanes have devastated many people on earth, including our Hula teacher. Finally I picked the last song to share with my many friends who love Kaua’i and visit whenever they can.
I just thought I’d let you know that EKK was the inspiration for our workshop. Thank you for all you do on Kaua’i and I hope you realize your efforts reach far beyond Kaua’i shores!
Aloha, DeAnna
