A MESSAGE FROM SUSIE
Dear Lanakila Multi-Purpose Senior Center Ohana:

Kanu Hawaii invited Lanakila Senior Center to host a service project for Volunteer Week on April 23, 2022. There were 69 LMPSC
members and community partners who came forward to pack sand bags to reduce soil erosion in and around the senior center
and redirect water run-off away from the center’s property to prevent flooding, pick up trash left around the senior center,
beautify and sanitize the senior center building and grounds, and made 650 ti leaf lei for Memorial Day at Punchbowl Cemetery.
We thank our center members for their generosity of time and effort. You did a tremendous job!

Mahalo a nui loa for the beautiful flower lei given by American Savings Bank employees for May Day and hand-delivered by
Michelle Bartel and Tina Serikaku to our center. The seniors who received the lei express their thanks to ASB!

Our heartfelt thanks to our Lanakila members and community partners who made over 6,000 ti leaf and flower lei over the past
two months for the City’s Memorial Day at Punchbowl Cemetery. We appreciate Iris Fukunaga from the City’s Foster Botanical
Gardens for inviting us to participate. Mahalo a nui loa to over 80 senior center members and individuals from the community,
who made lei at home and every Wednesday and Saturday to honor our veterans.

Lovely hula dancing by Lanakila’s dancers took place on Sunday, May 1, 2022, for the City and County of Honolulu’s May Day
festivities at Kapiolani Park. Our members did a fabulous job, under the tutelage of Kumu Hula Harmony Brighter. We thank the
musicians and assistant instructors who gave of their time and expertise to prepare the members for this special occasion. See
the photos taken by Evan Ching in this newsletter that captures these moments beautifully.

Ah leong
Ho, father of
Lenora Ho                                  I am sharing the attached to wish you and ALL moms, (belated)
Springer.                                  Hau’oli La Makuahine! You ALL deserve this day and every day to
                                           celebrate, for all that you moms do! I do not have children and I don’t
                                           know how you moms manage your time/energy every day. To me, it is
                                           AMAZING!
                                           My mom was AWESOME! She had 9 children before the age of 30
                                           years old and after my dad passed at the age of 51, she took the reins
                                           and went for it. After his passing, she learned how to drive, got a car,
                                           got a job at the U.H., worked at nights as a custodian became a Union
                                           Shop Steward and was a caregiver for her Mom too! She did retire
                               Donald      from the UH after 20 years but decided to drive a School Bus for
                               Guerrero    Robert’s for about 10 years. I know all of her History because I was
                                           there living with her then. I saw what, how, when she did ALL of these
                                           things, it wasn’t easy but she did it! As my eldest sister called her, “A
                                           strong cookie!” One of my moms saying, which I am still learning to
                                           do today is, “No one is going to do it for you, so “Get off your ‘Okole”
                                           and do it!” In fact, in our ‘Olelo Television, Kupuna Stories, she says
                                           this at the end, as a reminder and her Legacy to all her grand & great-
                                           grand children. My mom is my HERO and she lived to the young age
                                           of 93!

Haisaii!
We had a variety of May activities with many members & friends who participated.

April 28: Denise Werle from Stretch & Tone, gave the members an exhilarating time with exercises that are done
while sitting. It provides us with movements to our bodies without walking or running.

May 5: celebrating Mother’s Day & her 25 years of teaching Okinawa dance, sensei Frances Nakachi & her
students performed Okinawa dances. A small bento was offered to members.

May 12: Aiko Sugai from the Yui Buyo class performed Okinawa group dances with students. Ms. Sugai opened
with a solo dance. Two singers with a sanshin performed. Sumiko Nakasone performed the hula to “Nada Soso”.
Ms. Sugai also led the members in exercises using motions from Yui Buyo.

May 19: A special showing of a video of Misora Hibari, a popular Japanese singer was presented by Brian Suzuki.
The 1950 video showed her month-long visit to Hawaii to help raise funds for the 442nd Battalion’s clubhouse.
She was 13 years old & performed in Honolulu at the Civic Auditorium & McKinely High School, as well as the
other islands. In her first performance in Honolulu, she heard a local person singing a song; she asked to learn it
& sang it at the performance the next day. The song was “Wakare no Isochidori” by local composer, Frances
Zanami. Ten years later she recorded the song. Mr. Suzuki shortened the 2 hour video to 1.5 hrs & provided
English comments as the video was in Japanese. Nihee deebiru (thank you) to Mr. Suzuki from those who don’t
know Japanese!

June program will include karaoke, games, AARP sharing & taichi. Please join us! Become an Okinawan Nenchosa
Club member. Dues are $7.00 for the year.

JAPANESE CULTURAL CLUB UPDATE
By Clarice Kumura

Summer’s Here – Stay Hydrated
June is a month full of activities such as graduations, weddings, vacations, and of course, Father’s Day. While this should be
a fun month when the children are out of school, and we also spend a lot of time gardening, we should be aware of heat
exhaustion. It’s important for all seniors to stay hydrated. As it gets warmer, it is more difficult to stay hydrated. The heat
makes us perspire more, meaning we need to make up for this by drinking more water. So enjoy the summer with cool
drinks!

On May 2, we had our own members play games to celebrate Children’s Day. So much laughter when our seniors were
playing children’s games. There were lots of prizes to make it even more fun. On May 9, Sharon Nakai brought a talented
group as they sang Japanese and English songs. It was so entertaining to hear songs such as Jinsei Ichirou sung by Lorraine
Tamashiro, My Blue Heaven by Sensei Marion Arakaki and Oldies Medley by Brian Suzuki to name a few. On May 16, we
were entertained by the Zeni Daiko and hula by Naleo Nahanahe O’ Na Kupuna. It was very exciting to watch a variety of
Japanese dance with implements, hula performances, and singing.

We had another successful Show and Sell event on May 3. Our Japanese Club’s food, white elephant items, clothing and
craft items sold very well. Thank you to all donors and participants.

June Birthdays are: Gladys Nakoa (90+); Mona Bernardo; Dorine Goshima; Moana Gray; June Kamioka-Fuller; Keiko
Nakama; Teresa Sasaki; Jeanette Shiohira; Mildred Suzuki; James Takamiya; Frank Toma; Nishie Tomiyama; and Alice

•       Please remember to read the questions on the board at the entrance of our senior center and you are welcome to do a temperature check
        using the wall thermometer near the My Senior Center computer monitor where you sign in each day at the front door. These wellness
        screening precautions are important for the safety of all.
•       When participating in in-person activities, being outdoors and distanced is preferable as well as participating in virtual activities. However,
        for indoor, in-person club and class activities, please make sure you are socially distanced.
•       Keep social distanced when meeting w/ anyone – staff, other center members and guests, and people in the community.
•       While masks are not mandatory (except on our Catholic Charities Hawaii vans), masks are highly recommended especially in indoor
        settings and when in large groups of people.
•       Please remember to wash your hands thoroughly, assist our center in sanitizing frequently touched areas before and after use (classrooms,
        door knobs, tables, chairs, etc.)
•       Please do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth if you have not washed your hands well or used a hand sanitizer.
•       Please make sure to disinfect common use items, including phones, pens, telephones, monitor surfaces, etc. before and after use.
•       Everyone who has any cold related symptoms should STAY HOME. Colds are contagious, too!
•       Keep your immunity high by eating nutritious foods and enjoying the sunshine.
•       Since many of the exposures are still due to non-center connections, we all need to take responsibility to take safety precautions in our
        personal lives as well.                                                                                                                      15
