Thank you and aloha!

On May 27, the chorus bid a very warm aloha ‘oe to longtime Na Leo Lani member and former President, Kieko, who is relocating to Australia. They showered her with lei, heartfelt song, and a very thoughtful card and surprise gift. Thank you so much, ladies!!!

I, Kieko (speaking in the first person here 😉 ), will continue to serve as NLL webmistress for the time being, even from afar — so sisters in song, please keep sending me your photos and updates!!

Thanks for more than a decade of friendship, community, and harmony! Love you all! ❤️ 💕 💗!!!

Huge appreciation for NLL director, Chris . . .

And a big hug for current NLL President, Nicole!

. . . until we meet again xo
