Keiki Corner
Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped sort and price everything for the Keiki Korner this year, and to those who helped set up, sell, and clean up. I didn't get to meet everyone but definitely appreciated each person's contribution.
Thanks also to the teachers for coordinating all of the sorting and pricing, and for recruiting the volunteers. You guys made my job much, much easier.

See you next year, Wade

Redemption
Thank you to all who visited the Redemption Center this year to redeem prizes and/or to volunteer to work. I’m especially grateful to those who worked multiple shifts and were involved with closing. Thank you to unscheduled volunteer, Alison Inamine, who assisted with closing. I’d like to give kudos to Lynn Muneno on her 3rd consecutive year volunteering at the Redemption Center at various times from setup to closing. Lastly, thanks most of all to family, Roxanne Kau, Steven Kau, Michael Namumnart, Steven-J Kau, and Tiari Kau, in supporting all the children of Moanalua Elementary.
Mahalo!

Rides
Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped put the pre-sale wristbands on the students, assisted with the rides and worked in the ride booth. Our Fun Fair was a success because of volunteers like you.
Mahalo!

Set-Up Committee
The set-up committee would like to thank all of the parents and teachers who volunteered their valuable time to help with the set-up/clean-up of the Fun Fair. Without you, none of this would have been possible!
We would like to send out a special “thank you” to the following:
Toby Hirashima of Xpress Trucking for coordinating the transportation of the Matson refrigerated container to and from our school
Allen Ng of Sears for collecting all of the necessary cardboard boxes to line the booths
Godwin and Corey Hashimoto for stringing up all the electrical wiring
GP Roadways Solutions for their generous donation of the delineator set, traffic cones, as well as field lights
Kyle Oyasato for providing and manning the PA system
Coach Eddie Gudoy and the Moanalua Wrestling Team for providing valuable manpower. Without your help there was no way the clean-up and breakdown of the facilities would have gone as smoothly and quickly!
