Ke Kukui Foundation's Annual three day event, the Ho`ike and Hawaiian Festival was nominated for the third time as MOST OUTSTANDING EVENT by the Southwest Washington Convention and Visitor's Bureau.  It was also nominated as OUTSTANDING CULTURAL EVENT four years ago.  Up once again to Vancouver's Wine and Jazz Festival and the ten day extravaganza that is the Clark County Fair, the Hawaiians continue to hold our own.  Mahalo to the SWCVB for the nomination.

After years of searching, Ke Kukui Foundation is pleased to have found a physical home. We're in the process of working out the final details of a permanent Cultural Learning Center in Vancouver, Washington. The Center will have a large studio space with mirrors, wood floors, bathrooms, a waiting area for parents, and a conference room for the board to meet and plan. Classes will still be taught in Portland, OR., but the majority of classes will be at the Learning Center.  Stay tuned for more details.
