Armed Forces Fundraiser Dance Saturday

Saturday, I left home while the sun was still shining. Caught the right bus in Nanakuli, put my music on and had a nice trip into town, all the way to the Ala Moana Shopping Center.

A few errands and a short bike ride to Kapiolani and Kalakaua and got the bike on the B bus going to Waikiki at Kapahulu. From there it is only a skip and jump to the Ala Wai Golf Course and the HBDA shindig.

I wanted to get there by seven to get the early birds and the party was going very nicely. The people at the reception table were old time friends and I spread my copies of the July issue on the table. I then raffled off a CD and Shirley Ota won it. She mention a mistake of calling her Dorothy. I thought I had corrected that.

Then I began to make my rounds distributing the July issue. Lot's of good people there. And I met my good friends the Laderta gang, Marie is still recovering from the death of her mother. But I got a picture, naturally. It was a natural except that I missed one couple. But I get all of them regularly so there will be another time.

Then I got a photo of Herb and Shirley Ota for the Good People section. And when I made the next run around, I saw a possible good picture of the group there, also three rows thick. Nice bunch of people. I think they are Pearl City Chapter. Then I got a photo of Susan Masumoto, for the Fake Magazine cover. I have to find a nice fashion magazine for her.

Made more rounds and before I knew it, 60 copies had evaporated. I gave Herbie ten and then I saw Tad and gave him a couple more, all going to Makua Alii. Good thing the August issue is Dancing in the Dark.

So I left early enough to try to get the last C bus back home. Got the #13 bus, left me off at Kalakaua and Kapiolani. A short ride and I just made it in time.

June will probably make a nice write up for the Town Dancer blog and perhaps even Calvin Ota, he was there too.
