History in the Making Stew & Rice
➳ Historical Committee members Gerri Pedesky and Joy Barnhart—organizers of the Stew & Rice series—were delighted to welcome members to “An Hour with Queen Lili‘uokalani,” on Tuesday, May 24. The reading by Rianna Williams and Alice Guild of Williams’ play was the third sold-out event in a row. In June, members enjoyed the documentary “Riding the Waves of Change,” with co-producers Caroline Yacoe and Judy Athans tell- ing the story of the Waikīkī Beach Boys and their time of transi- tion through interviews, archival footage and scenes of Waikīkī. On Tuesday, July 26, we will welcome a presentation from ‘Iolani Palace. With the Palace as a focal point, Executive Director of The Friends of ‘Iolani Palace Paula Akana and Palace Histo- rian Zita Cup Choy will share and celebrate who we were as a nation in the late 19th century. Then, put on your best mu‘umu‘u or palaka and join us in August as we welcome all the OCC “Old Timers” for Kanakapila on Tuesday, August 23.
