Thanks to “Ironwoman” Mary Castelanelli and her beau Matt Ernsdorf, the Bistro in Kilauea is once again supporting the chorus in its fundraising efforts. Eat lunch or dinner at the Bistro on November 8, 9, or 10, and they’ll donate 30% of your tab to the chorus. All you have to do is show the flyer on page 5 (print it out or show on your phone) to your server and they’ll do the rest. Freely share the FREE flyer with friends.
Art Day Artists & Helpers Needed
Scheduled later than usual this year, Art Day will be on Friday, November 8. Artists are being lined up to teach workshops to children in all grades and a few spots remain to be filled. Please spread the word to your artist friends. You can let them know how fun it is and that they will be treated to a special Artist’s Luncheon. Speaking of that, coordinators for the luncheon are also needed. Contact Penny at penny@ischool. org if you know of an artist or want to volunteer as a helper.
An Unintended Omission

If we omitted your name, spelled it incorrectly, or otherwise failed to recognize your contribution, please inform us. We want to be sure that everyone is accurately acknowledged.
