Thank you to the nearly 80 guests who attended the April 20th American Savings Family of Friends Luncheon. We think it is safe to say that everyone had a great time reminiscing with friends!
As guests started arriving at 10:30am, it was clear that friendships were renewed and new friendships made.
As you entered the ballroom, guests were treated to old American Savings memorabilia, including decades of American Savings newsletters, posters, photos and more!
All were excited to welcome Wayne Minami, and wife Colleen, who welcomed guests and gave all an update of his plans, past and future!
Guests are always thrilled to have door prizes, and we had more prizes than guests - - which meant that about ten guests had 2 gifts! We also played a centerpiece game (9 more winners), plus a "Try Your Luck" guessing game that Pat Moniz won (a $25 Macy's gift card).You'll notice in the photos that we also said "Hi Sam" to Sam Hironaka, who sent his regards from Maui. Each year, Sam generously donates to the luncheon!
The committee would like to thank the following persons:
- Monetary Donations: Sam Hironaka, Chuck Tokuhama, Ron Dobashi, Liz Kunishima
- Door Prize Donations: Beryl Hamabata, Blanche Hattori, Richard Ching, Liz Kunishima, Lorraine Kunita, Jolene Kiyono, Claire Okasaki, Sherri Aoyama, Naomi Kim
- Colleen Morita for the delicious desserts
- Our Maui and Kauai friends who traveled to Oahu to join us: Priscilla Yamamura, Toni Woolley, Florence Teshima
