It truly is a small world after all! There were several people in attendance who were reunited with old time friends and family. Some were reunited by previously made plans, while others, were reunited by chance and coincidence. There were a lot of first time greetings as well! What a wonderful way of enjoying the evening before the annual Las Vegas Ho'olaule'a!

The venue was a tropical one at the Aloha Gathering. While the crowd visited vendor tables the "onolicious" kau kau (great food) was being set out as Hawaiian music played by Maui's Hawaiian Cowboy, Danny Estocado, along with his other talented Hawaiian musicians. Throughout the event, there were well over 100 door prizes given to eager participants.

Special thanks to all who attended the first annual Aloha Gathering, as well as to the vendors who flavored the event with their participation, to all the advertisers who donated door prizes and to South Pacific Events for the ono food and to Danny Estocado for the good Hawaiian music. Mahalo, mahalo and more mahalos!

Check out the photos of the event here. Soon, we'll be offering information in preparation for the next Aloha Gathering! Let the 2nd Annual Aloha Gathering be your goal for the year 2001 !!!.
