One of the best things about being a non-profit is the constant opportunity we have to see the best come out in others. I'm talking about our volunteers and those that graciously and generously offer themselves for the good of a cause that is greater than themselves. Take our volunteer, Momi, for example. Momi has been a volunteer with IHS for years, collecting food, chopping onions, and peeling potatoes. Momi retired from a lucrative career and went back to school to study her true love, music, and has now completed a bachelor's degree in music from the University of Hawaii.
Momi is neither keeping her talents hidden nor is keeping the profits from her many talents to herself. She regularly puts on benefit concerts for organizations that help others and contribute to society. IHS has been blessed to be the recipient of one of her concerts a few years ago, and will be again this Saturday night. October 30th, at 7:30pm. If you live on the windward side or would like to take a short drive over the pali to see her for yourself, you're welcome to join us at Christ Church Uniting Disciples and Presbyterians, located at 1300 Kailua Road. The concert features the soprano vocals of Momi Sui Lan Ho Mahon, Arlene Chin Sullivan on the piano, and special guest Jennifer Lee delighting you with the violin. You'll hear Momi sing renditions of songs such as 'It's a Grand Night for Singing" by Rodgers & Hammerstein and "The Moon and I" from the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. Best of all? The concert is FREE and open to all ages, although there will be an opportunity to make a free-will offering to help IHS.
And yes, refreshments will be served.
