Aloha, Ohana! Hope you all had a great holiday season. It was nice visiting with the many of you that we were able to visit with this holiday season. (Clark had a very lovely, typically Clark reception and Michelle is a wonderfu addition to our family.) We discussed possible dates for the next major reunion. A couple of months ago, Napua and I suggested that we forego 2010 due to the lack of preparation time and plan on 2015. Carol E. suggested that we plan for 2012 since the kupuna who are or will be on missions will have returned. The Utah group would like to see one closer than that, perhaps in 2011. However, after much discussion and considering that it is so close to 2012, the suggestion has been made to plan for 2012 in California which seems to be more central to most of the family. For the Utah group, we can still combine with Las Vegas and California for a regional mini-reunion in 2010 and Hawaii can do the same.

If you feel like I do, I miss you all the time. Anytime is fine for me. So the discussion is open.
