This year, the picnic will be at Magic Island (this is a different location due to park construction).
Bento orders due by July 7th!
Picnic bentos this year are from Okinawan-owned Tatsuo’s. They will be $10 and includes shoyu pork, breaded fish, nishme, takuan, and rice. See Newsletter for who to send orders to or use our electronic form.
The mission for this year is to find out from the oldest member of your family group what their favorite Okinawan food is and draw it! The art contest is open to keiki up to age 18.
We need volunteers to make the picnic fun!
Setup - Be at Picnic site at 6am to help setup tents, unload prizes and games supplies.
Prize Distribution - Every game needs a prize and every prize need a handful of volunteers to hand them out! Come by the prize tent!

All volunteers get a bag of goodies to take home. Thank you!
