| Hula Association of the Midwest |
AlohaWorld Ohana |

Another year has
passed, so quickly, seemingly without enough time to gather our ohana's to
experience joy, food and stories about the olden days. I was watching Hawaii 5-0
last night and the simple word ALOHA brought tears to my eyes.
The giving, the kokua from all the volunteers, the pilikia we put aside to share
our strengths, how all of our members participate to make our bond of
ALOHA more solid. The truth of those who carry the ALOHA SPIRIT
makes me grateful to be connected. So grateful, as a matter of fact, it
made me cry. At my home, people thought I was practicing to be Speaker of the
House.
New for 2011, Hula
Association of the Midwest welcomes Scott from the Tiki Terrace as our new Vice
President. Kathy is still President because who going mess with her? Kaleo is
still the Secretary and Leanne is still the Treasurer, since the books balanced
last year. We've added 2 new Directors; Wendy Takeguchi and Susan Kinney. Ron
and Leeval will continue doing whatever they were doing. Unfortunately,
Shasta and Rick Hud has resigned. We give them our fondest Aloha.
We all look forward to
next year's Aloha Jam in May and save the last weekend of Sept. for Kumu Hula
Leialoha Lim Amina and her husband Mel, formerly of Makaha Sons. Be sure to
check our website for upcoming events.
This month's recipe
can be found on our website, HulaMidwest.com. Be careful, your mouth may
explode. HAWAIIAN CRAB MEAT SOUP by Aunty Poki's Daughter
MELE
KALIKIMAKA to all; and to all, a very healthy, prosperous and good fun
New Year!

the Royal Family, its traditions and kapu’s, the pieces are simple symbols of
their positions and not replicas of their Royal likenesses. Crafted to meet

piece is weighted in 5 gram increments from the Pawns [5 grms] to the King[25
grms].
As an added bonus, the Royal
Hawaiian Chess Set also offers checkers. 4 additional pawns of each side,
allows checkers to be played. When a pawn is ‘kinged’, it is replaced with any
non-pawn piece such as a King, Queen etc., etc., etc.

Filipino Sponge Cupcake
Review By: Mokihana
Awesome!! I didn't have cake flour on hand so used
regular kine flour but removed 2 T of it for this recipe. Ho da akamai, yeah?
Easy to make, tastes 'ono. I love the texture and flavor. Yeah, I wen kakaroach
one of them cuz I'm taking the rest to a potluck and I had to make sure tasted
okay, yeah?
I didn't have the paper muffin tin liners either,
but I sprayed the pans and they were fine. They'd look prettier with the paper
though. Highly recommended. They don't get even golden brown on top, but don't
worry... they're done.
I can always count on Miulang's recipes being no
ka 'oi and this one is no exception.
