U.S. VETS – Waianae Hawaii “HANA LIKE KAKOU” Dinner

FROM: SHANNON HAYES

Dear Friends,

On Friday, April 23, 2010, the United States Veterans Initiative (U.S.VETS) will hold its first “Signature Event” to benefit homeless individuals and families with children of the Leeward coast, as well as homeless Veterans. The theme of our event is “Hana Like Kakou,” many hands working together.

Please join us at the Memorial Hall for Disabled American Veterans, located at 2685 Nimitz Highway (near Keehi Lagoon), to enjoy a formal evening of traditional culture, the Royal Order of Kamehameha I, as well as local dignitaries, the Color Guard, Navy Pacific Fleet Band, a formal dinner, silent auction, and ongoing entertainment.

Our Waianae program opened its doors in March 2007, as U.S. VETS’s first program for families in addition to at-risk Veterans. Your generosity in sponsoring this event will ensure uninterrupted services for the comprehensive program we offer; which includes more than 21 self-improvement classes, personalized case management services, back-to-work training, meals, and much more.

We look forward to seeing you on April 23rd. One of our volunteers will be contacting you in a few days with more details. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Rita Martin at 808-499-7367, or for tickets, Gladys Peraro at 808-620-0676.

Sincerely,


Shannon Hayes, M.S., C.D.C.I., L.P.C., N.C.C.
