Last Sunday The Honolulu Star-Advertiser printed a very nice piece about The ARTS and Kumu Kahua Theatre collaborating to create better operating and financial health of both organizations. We really appreciate Mindy Pennybacker for her thorough coverage and The Honolulu Star-Advertiser for coverage we could never afford if we had to buy that space. My name appeared quite a few times in that article, and that makes me feel a little uncomfortable because there are so many others who have given of their time, hearts and finances to support both of these amazing organizations. Every one of you deserve recognition for your support.

So... from every one of us to every one of you:

Thank you!

If you feel like I just thanked you for something you haven't done, now's your chance! Please consider becoming one of our monthly donors. PayPal makes it easy for you, and when you donate as little as $10 per month, your first drink on First Friday is on the house!

If no can, thank you for being you and checking out what we do. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Support The ARTS!
