Aloha AHA Members,

Save the dates July 15-16, 2011 for a visit to Kalaupapa National Historical Park!

Some specifics:

3. We’ll overnite on Friday in Kalaupapa in Park housing.
There will be kitchen facilities & linen but we will need to bring our food.

Honolulu/Kalaupapa roundtrip airfare via Pacific Wings, $501 (this is not a typo).

If you are interested in joining us, please email me by April 30: carolhas@hawaii.edu
This is not a commitment; a head count will help us with planning & logistics.
We can accommodate a very limited number of members.
More information & a registration form will be available in May.

Looking forward to a great summer!
