Calling all golfers! Please sign up for the Pauahi Foundation’s yearly Alumni Golf Tournament on Monday, June 3 at Pearl Country Club (starting at 11:30 a.m.) It’s not just for Kamehameha Schools alumni! For the first time, we’re opening it up to the public to sign up.

We’re hoping to get 140 golfers this year. There will be prizes (including vacation packages!) and an awards dinner. It’s a great cause: All the money we raise goes to support Native Hawaiian learners!

Sign up at http://www.pauahi.org/, or contact Jacqui Sovde directly – jasovde@ksbe.edu / (808) 534-8172. The earlier the better, but deadline for registration is May 31 at 4:30 p.m.

If you don’t want to golf but you’d like to support the cause, we’re also looking for sponsors! Your donation is tax-deductible. The deadline to sign up to sponsor is May 17. Please contact Jacqui Sovde at jasovde@ksbe.edu / (808) 534-8172.

Mahalo and see you on the green! Please share this message and spread the word!

Peace of mind By Diane Ako I like to reflect on life. Sometimes it’s philosophically. Sometimes it’s humorously. For all its beauty, life is far too difficult a journey to take alone. You need the support and connection with others to help carry you along the way. Writing brings me that connection– within and without. It clarifies my thoughts and feelings. It helps me reach out to others for advice, wisdom, or feedback. Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become you. A wise yogi- Patanjali- said, “Speak what is true. Speak what is pleasant.” Let’s speak of things pleasant to one another and seek some peace of mind along the way. ABOUT Diane Ako joined Hawaii: In Real Life in October 2016. She likes being part of a community of local bloggers – people who like writing and sharing, like she does. Ako is an anchor/ reporter at Island News (KITV4 – ABC) in Honolulu. She previously anchored and reported at KHON2 (FOX) and KHNL (NBC), and at stations in California, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania. She freelance writes for NMG Network's magazines.

From 2010-2014, she headed the public relations department at Halekulani Corporation, which oversees luxury resort Halekulani and boutique hotel Waikiki Parc. She’s been blogging since 2009 – before Hawaii: IRL, she wrote for The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the state’s largest daily newspaper, where her stories garnered a dozen journalism awards and an Emmy nomination.

She volunteers as a board member of the Honolulu Gay & Lesbian Cultural Foundation, a Shinto shrine maiden at Daijingyu Temple, a citizen-scientist studying shrimp, and a yoga teacher at a senior center.
