Aloha Gathering 2008


Each year we gather together in the spirit of ALOHA in Las Vegas for our annual Aloha Gathering. And each time we come away with a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment knowing that others were truly touched in the same way.

This year's Aloha Gathering proven itself to be a very unique "happening" ... an experience that reached way into the heart and rekindled the fire for the islands in each person who shared the evening. It didn't matter how old you were, how long you've been away from the islands, or even if you never been to Hawai'i, just as long as you're ready to experience a part of Hawai'i that refuses to die.

A mixture of talented and gifted musicians, graceful dancers, hilarious local kine comedy, friendly vendors, 'broke the mouth' food, the Aloha Gathering team who worked behind the scenes, the Aloha Spirit that flowed freely between the guests, all  made this year's annual Aloha Gathering a success!

Mahalo to Kamaka Brown, emcee/comedian extraordinaire, Uncle Charlie Kiaha and Aunty Ilima Lei Russell of  Manoa, and Kawika Viloria and Halau Hula a Kawika Laua 'o Leinani for providing such heartwarming and truly Hawaiian local entertainment.

Mahalo to all of the vendors present and door prize donators who allowed nearly everyone to go home with something "Hawaiian" to remember the evening by.

Biggest mahalos go to the Aloha Gathering staff who helped us pull off this aloha-fest -- Lurkah, Kalena and Lika hugs to you!!
