Summer is in full swing and here at Lanakila JCC, during the month of July, we're focusing on YOU! Ai Takamatsu, Service Supervisor at Mastercare Inc., will be here on July 6th to speak with us on how we can bet-ter help our elderly live more comfortably by providing specific needs for their care. Some of the services available are skilled nursing, 24-hour care, home health care and medical staffing solutions. Under the sponsorship of Hawaii Pacific Health and supported by the M. Lou Hefley, MD Endowment Fund and Straub Foundation, Dr. S. Kalani Brady and his 2015 Summer Student Research Scholars will visit with us on July 13th from 9:00-12 noon. A very familiar personality both at Lanakila and television, Dr. Brady will lead his scholars in provid-ing vital information for seniors as well as demonstrations by local experts, on staying active and eating healthy. For those of us who registered with the front office, a special bento will follow this session. All members of LMPSC are invited to attend. JCC members born during the month of July will be serenaded by the sounds of the taisho koto. Under the direc-tion of Sensei Yasuko Takeuchi, she and her students will entertain us with Japanese and American children's folk songs as well as familiar songs popular in Japan as well as Hawaii. All this will take place on Monday, July 20th. Special birthday celebrants include Betty Aoki, Maria Artis, John Kitashiro, Alice Masuda and Lillian Yajima. The long awaited session with Cullen Hayashida will take place on July 27th. Mr. Hayashida represents the Ku-puna Monitoring System. He will speak on how a monitoring system may help us live more securely and with peace of mind for family as well. We sincerely hope you will be able to join us.

7/30-Fun Day

Okinawan Nenchosha Club by Jane Higa

Aloha Mai, On June 9th our club members went on an outing headed for the Pali. As we left the Pali we went to visit an area near the entrance the entrance of the Royal Hawaii, Golf Course, where in 1878 Queen Liliuokalani had visited the ranch where Edwin Boyd resided. While riding home on horseback she turned to look at the view of Kaneohe bay when she saw Colonel James Boyd and a young lady. The inspiration for the song Aloha Oe came when she saw the two people slowly and affectionately bid each other farewell. A hui hou.
