Kupuna Suppers

Long-time residents of our valley are honored every other year at Malama o Manoa's biennial Na Kupuna Supper. The celebration dinner is usually held at a major restaurant and honors Manoa Valley's kupuna - those 65 years of age and older who have resided in Manoa for over 50 years.  Look here  to view the previous Kupuna Supper in 2004.

The 2006 Kupuna Supper will be held on Sunday March 12, from 5:00 to 7:30.  The event celebrates and honors all our special “long-time residents” who have reached the age of 65 and have lived in Manoa Valley for 50 years or more.  It will be a fun-filled evening with good friends, great food, fantastic music by the Eldredge family, and lots of fascinating talk story led by Sylvia Alper.

As at past events, kupuna will be our guests for the buffet supper.  Cost for family, friends and others who wish to attend is $25 per person, inclusive of gratuity and general excise tax.  If you know of any Manoa Valley kupuna you would like to honor at this year’s supper, please give us their name and telephone number.  Transportation will be provided for anyone who needs it. Call Jean Trapido-Rosenthal at 988-3062.  Also call if you would like to participate and volunteer some time before or during the event.
