A King's Passion for History and Culture Come Alive at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach April 14-20, 2011 Volume XII, No. 15 A King’s passion for history and culture come alive at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach Award-winning cultural programming is the norm at this beachfront hotel David La‘amea Kalākaua, the last reigning king of Hawai‘i, so loved Hawai‘ian music, dance and festivities that he became affectionately known as the “Merrie Monarch.” A world-traveler and diplomat, and an accomplished composer and author, Kalākaua helped revive Hawaiian music and hula, which had been suppressed for many years by missionary influences in the islands. In honor of Kalākaua’s passion for Hawai‘i’s arts and culture, Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach offers year-round cultural programming as part of its “Kalākaua Experience.” Launched in 2000, this award-winning program is designed to preserve and share Hawai‘i’s rich artistic, cultural, and environmental treasures – both ancient and contemporary – with guests. Cultural activities at the hotel cover a broad spectrum with most free to hotel guests, or discounted if there is a fee, making it an attractive value for visitors seeking cultural experiences while on holiday. The newest offering is the weekly free Hawaiian Vow Renewal ceremony, held exclusive for hotel guests every Thursday morning at 8 am on the beachfront lower patio, with Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. The non-denominational Hawaiian ceremony is conducted by a practicing kahu (Hawaiian officiant) who Continued on next page Inside this issue: Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach is making waves with “Kokua For Japan” Raises $1.6 Million 2 6 Canoe for Two Package Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu and The Make-A-Wish 4 American Academy of Neurology annual meeting expected Foundation® grant a rock star wish for Hawai‘i child 7 to top initial forecast by more than 2,000 participants Swing City ~ Jimmy Borges Headlines an Evening of Glitz, 5 Glam, Gals, and Gangsters ~ Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa’s Easter 8 Hop-penings Aqua Hotels supports Earth Day 2011 with booking 6 promotion Star of Honolulu's Easter Lunch & Champagne Cruise! 9 Hop over to Royal Hawaiian Center for Easter Prizes and Hyatt on the Beach fundraiser for Charity Walk 7 9 Family Fun . and MORE Continued from front page welcomes couples with a traditional Hawaiian chant. They are then honored with a graceful hula and serenaded with Hawaiian song; this is followed with a sprinkling of sea water before couples recite vows in the Hawaiian language. The ceremony concludes with the beautiful Hawaiian Wedding Song performed with a hula, and couples are presented with a certificate commemorating the celebration. Other free activities guests can enjoy when staying at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach include casual classes in Hawaiian kukui nut bracelet making and storytelling; flower lei making; traditional Ti leaf lei making; ukulele lessons; hula lessons; the making of luggage tags with a guest’s Hawaiian name; mini koa surfboard shaping; and Hawaiian petroglyph greeting cards. Additionally, fun events throughout the year highlight Hawai‘i’s rich multi- ethnic make-up, such as a Chinese New Year celebration in February, Duke Kahanamoku surfing activities during the summer, and spooky Hawaiian storytelling around Halloween. Outrigger employees play a key role in the hotels’ cultural education efforts with most classes led by employees born and raised in the islands. As a result, guests who participate in the Kalākaua Experience programs are exposed to a depth of local knowledge and expertise not always found elsewhere. The hotel’s commitment to Hawai‘i’s sense of place goes beyond programming, however. Other opportunities for guests to experience Hawaiian culture and history include a special lobby showcase featuring dozens of rare Hawaiian artifacts on loan from the venerable Mission House Museum as well as various private collectors. The hotel’s new Voyager Room in the hotel lobby is a place to relax after the rigors of travel or to enjoy a quiet place to read. It features an honor library filled with books about Hawai‘i’s unique island heritage. There are travel guides, the Hawaiian Dictionary, and a vast array of books on Hawaiian culture and history. Custom-designed Hawaiian furniture from master artisan James Ferla, artwork by the iconic Hawaiian artist and historian – the late Herb Kawainui Kane, two Kahili – feather stanchions crafted by hotel employees, and a century-old fully restored outrigger canoe rigged in traditional Hawaiian pre-contact style all are hallmarks of the hotel’s commitment to its island roots. “Outrigger Hotels & Resorts was born in Hawai‘i, and therefore, supporting what makes our islands so special has always been an integral part of this company’s heart and soul,” said Robert McConnell, general manager of Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. “Our cultural education programs are a win-win all around. They support worthwhile community organizations, give our guests opportunities for authentic island experiences, and provide an important connection between our employees and our community.” For reservations or information, call toll free 800-OUTRIGGER (1-800-688-7444) within the United States, Guam and Canada.

    AUGUST 2009 PRESENTS State of Aloha Neil Hannahs FormerA Sense Chair, PBS ofHawaii Gratitude Board of Directors and Accomplishment Longtime PBS Hawaii Board Chairman Neil Hannahs recently passed the baton to a new Chair, Robbie Alm. In the following essay, Neil shares recollections and reflections about leading Hawaii’s only public television station into new territory, from State agency to proud private nonprofit organization. The vital change took place just nine years ago…. - Leslie Wilcox, President and CEO On June 30, I was among several long-serving individuals who retired from the board in compliance with term limit provisions of our by- Dearlaws. Mahalo PBS to Hawaii Bob Ozaki, ‘Ohana, David Leonard, Tom Wellman, Cheryl Hetherington, Rick Tsujimura and Susan Eichor for joining this or- ganization during its infancy and guiding our transition from State agency to private foundation. I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the privi- lege of serving as board chairman since the founding of the Hawaii Public Television Foundation (HPTF) in 1997. Retiring board members (from left) Rick Tsujimura, Susan Eichor, Cheryl Hetherington and Neil Hannahs. My association with this organization began in 1986 upon my appointment to the Hawaii Public Broad- casting Authority (HPBA). My children, who are now 31, 27 and 26, were 8, 4 and 3 at the time. My wife, Mariane, was young then…as she is today. I am indebted to them for their support of my service. In the late 1980s, the “Japanese bubble” fueled a booming economy and rapid growth of our budget, staff and local productions.

  • Shipment Day Playbill.Indd
    MANOA VALLEY THEATRE PRESENTS A World Premiere by Lorenzo DeStefano November 8 – 25, 2018 #innovators #artists #individuals Hawai‘i’s arts education leader for more than 25 years Preschool to Grade 12 | midpac.edu | (808) 973-5005 A poignant Hawaii story graces our stage Manoa Valley Theatre’s 50th Anniversary continues with a very special presentation that is a highlight in this auspicious season. Lorenzo DeStefano’s poignant drama, Shipment Day, shines light on a troublesome period of Hawaii’s history and the amazing fortitude of one of its citizens, Olivia Robello Breitha, who was his cousin. The play dramatizes her early years in Honolulu when she was first disagnosed with Hansen’s Disease, and the resulting fear and hostilities she faced with this life changing condition. The play’s mirror on history is insightful, and its parallel to more recent epidemics and contemporary society’s response underscores the importance for education, understanding and compassion. We are grateful to Mr. DeStefano for inviting MVT to stage the World Premiere of his play. It is befitting to include this Hawaii based story in our first half-century celebration as we’re reflecting on our community, our mission, our past and our future. Thank you for engaging with us. Four more exciting productions are coming up this season, plus a music and comedy filled Studio Series lineup, so we hope to see you back at MVT often. We are grateful for your patronage and your support. Our partnership with you ensures robust and stimulating theatrical fare for our community. Thank you most kindly.
