Community group Livable Hawaii Kai Hui together with The Oahu Club will hold a fundraiser to help with restoration efforts to improve the wetland habitat located in Hawaii Kai off Hawaii Kai Drive. Mardi LaPrade, an Oahu Club member, first discovered the 'Alae'ula several years ago and has since worked with the LHK Hui to establish appropriate oversight partnerships to help with conservation planning including wetland delineation of the area and the development of educational and community-based kokua programs. Guest speakers at the Mad Hatter Garden Party include wetland expert Ron Walker and native Hawaii plant specialist Rick Barboza of Hui Ku Maoli Ola, a plant nursery in Kaneohe. Live groove-centric and funk-tastic music is provided by Jive Nene, an eclectic band of brothers dedicated to the environment, Jeff Mikulina, Isaac Moriwake, and Mark Glick with vocal extraordinaire Simone Cole.
Persons interested in volunteering may contact Mardi LaPrade at 348-2847. Tickets are available at www.hawaiikaihui.org through PayPal or mail in: Livable Hawaii Kai Hui, P.O. Box 25493, Honolulu, Hawaii 96825.
