Gatherings are an integral part
of experiencing Aloha. Whether the gathering is of two people, or
a few thousand, it offers opportunities to experience Aloha in
many different ways. This year
AlohaWorld.com, together with
Island Girl Marketing, will host the 8th Annual Aloha
Gathering 2008 in Las Vegas on September 12.
The
purpose of Aloha Gatherings is simple -- to provide an enjoyable evening where locals,
former Hawaii locals and Hawaiians-at-Heart can share aloha, network with others, enjoy
really ono grinds with of course, Hawaiian entertainment.
It is an opportunity to make new
friends, to meet those "virtual online" friends in person, and to
establish connection with others who are also seeking to keep
aloha in their lives even though living far from the islands. In the past, people have attended
this event from Hawaii, California, Georgia, Nevada, Texas,
Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Korea, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nebraska,
Virginia, Washington, Maryland, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota,
Kansas, Colorado.
Many have used the Aloha
Gatherings as a
"reunion" event for ohana and
friends. What could be better?? We do all of the planning,
organizing, banquet and menu arranging, collecting all the fees
from everyone, arranging for fantastic entertainment, and managing
the event logistics. What's more ... the gathering/reunion will be
in Las Vegas on the weekend of the 2-day Las Vegas Ho'olaule'a.
What more could you want? You and your ohana have the best job of
all... Just show up and enjoy!
