Aloha kakou!
For those who haven't yet heard, E Pili Kakou (Sacramento) has been moved up this year. Instead of taking place in Sept., it will be in May - on Memorial Day weekend. There has also been a change in location - it will be held at the Radisson Hotel this year (which is just a mile or so from the old location at Doubletree). I, personally, am excited about this year's honoree: Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett!

E Pili Kakou provides hula workshops Friday and Saturday, with performances each evening by the participants, including the wonderful kumu. Check out the list of presenting kumu at the website below.

Even if you aren't interested in participating in the retreat, at least consider attending the Ho`olaule`a on Friday or the Ho`ike on Saturday!

(Important note: If you're coming from out of town, make your reservations NOW! Memorial Day weekend is a HUGE weekend in Sacramento. The largest Jazz Jubilee west of the Mississippi is held here that weekend, and hotel/motel space gets booked well in advance. Because the Jubilee now also includes swing, zydeco, blues, and traditional jazz, as well as the standard Dixieland, there's a wider variety of people attending than in the past. Performers and attendees come from all over the world - we typically see several hundred thousand people come into town. There are pre-Jubilee gigs held as well, so bands and attendees begin arriving early in the week.)

Here's a link to the E Pili web site, including the list of presenters/kumu hula and registration info : http://www.epilikakou.org/index.html
