Holoku Ball recalls

The Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu presents the 1992 Holoku Ball, a festive evening of elegant attire and dancing, at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 27, at the Coral Ballrooms of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel. The gala is a fundraiser to provide scholarships for Hawaiian students. Guests are asked to wear formal Hawaiian attire such as holoku, evening dresses or an elegant mu'umu'u for the wahine and a suit, sports coat or formal wear with a traditional Hawaiian sash for the kane. The club's history dates back 1918 when Prince Kuhio Kalaniana'ole and several colleagues founded the organization. The Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu continues the original purpose of the group by supporting education for Hawaiians. Last year, 54 Hawaiian students were awarded scholarships totaling $29,000. The honorary chairpersons of the ball are the trustees of Kamehameha Schools/Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate: William S. Richardson, Matsuo Takabuki, Myron B. Thompson, Henry H. Peters, and Oswald K. Stender. Tickets are $60 per person. Reservations and donations maybe sent to HCCH 1992 Holoku Ball, e/o Design Systems Ltd., 1166 Waimanu St., Honolulu, Hawai'i 96814.
