Dame CH J HiC The purpose of the Hawaii Qub, Na Pua Kai Ewalu, is to share the culture of Hawaii with the Notre Dame conimunit ' through N-arious serial imd educatioiicd activities. The club also acts as a support s ' Stem ftir students from Hawaii , especially the incoming f reshmaii who must deal with being 5,000 miles from home. Tlie club is o[x;n to all Notte Dame, St. Mary ' s GiUege, and Holy Cross students who share an interest in the unique and diverse culture of Hawaii. All are welcome. The Hawaii Club puts on a luau each spring. Tliis is the culminating event for the club, as much of the resources and efforts are dedicated to putting on the Luau. The preparations for the Luau begin as early as August when members can be seen choreographing dances and working at the concession stand at one o( the home games to help keep luau ticket costs down. The purpose of the luau is not to make mone ' , but to create an authentic presentation of the Hawaiian culture to the Nc tre Dame ohana (family). Tlie Luau, which sells out each year, feiUures traditional kahiko as well as mtxlem auana hula that men-ybcrs of the club perfonn. Tlie club also gets the crowd involved through audience participation activities. These activities include dancing contests, skits, and trixia. In addition to the Hawaiian entertiunment, the club members also prepare and serve authentic Hawaiian food such as kalua pig, chicken long rice, haupia (coconut) cake, and frc h pineapples, to name a few. All of the ingredients, as well as all of the flowers, are flown fresh from Hawaii. -Qiarlene Tran and Kahele Naeole ' PoUshQub R -.H: R sfortels,NlattMulkn,]c lmE:iterlmc,J.«niJame-.MirkLe;Jie.T, Right Tolife Ro,rJ: StadFanfile,Chru.UThcrBaThv..Arini.Cjn ,TTieres.aim !Jrc.
