Aloha Girls: Aloha Girls: The Aloha Girls spread a little aloha and hope last month for the houseless population by putting together snack bags for A Cup of Cold Water, a community care-van outreach program. Marilynn Hirashima, a volunteer coordinator for A Cup of Cold Water, guided the girls on how to pack the snack bags and also shared information with the girls on how their service helps those who are less fortunate. The girls decorated cards with messages of encouragement to be included in the snack bags. The girls also joined in with the older 4-H groups for a county sponsored Easter event in early March. The girls are thankful to have the opportunity to learn from and have fun with the older 4-Hers
Malama Dolphins: In February, the Mālama Dolphins participated in a community service project for the Maui Fire Department. They made “mahalo” goodie bags for the firefighters at the Wailuku fire station. Each goodie bag was filled with homemade decorated chocolate covered pretzel rods and ranch pretzels. This month, the girls attended the County 4-H Easter Peeps Party at UHMC. They participated in a variety of spring activities, made Easter crafts, and donated canned goods to the Maui Food Bank. Our club members are also practicing and preparing for the upcoming annual 4-H Teach-in Demonstration which will be held at the UHMC. The Teach-in is an opportunity for the girls to practice their public speaking and presentation skills through food or craft demonstrations, poem reciting, and informational speeches.
All Sakura clubs were also invited by Pack 40 Cub Scouts to attend their annual carnival, planned and put on by the Bear Den. The scouts did a wonderful job and it was a great opportunity for the two groups to interact. Thank you Pack 40!
