Kawaiahaʻo Makeke Scheduled Nov. 8

The 16th Annual Kawaiaha'o Church Makeke will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, on the church grounds. Sponsored by the church's various ministries, receipts from the endeavor will be used to maintain the various church and community programs. It is eochaired by David Free, Margaret Perez, Harvey Richard and Maile Sefo of the church's Hui Laulima.

There will be a variety of homemade goodies prepared by the kupuna of the missionary mothers, prayer study groups, choir, church members and the recreation ministry. Featured for the first time this year will be the products of talented and experienced craftspeople. There will also be the traditional white sale and free demonstrations on coconut hat and basket weaving as well as haku and wili lei making. Free entertainment is also on tap. The Makeke is an outgrowth of an effort initiated by the vacation bible school in 1970 when it needed funds to carry the cost of its program for the children on Oahu and the neighbor islands. It is only one of two major fundraisers held annual for the Kawaiaha'o ministries, the other being the Kamehameha Day luau.
