RPJ Member Arlene Salvador’s son Skylan will be competing in the Boys Junior Olympics this summer in July held in Atlanta, GA, and his Ka Ulukoa Volleyball Club is having a Mother’s Day Bouquet fundraiser sponsored by Watanabe Floral. Check out the flyer, and let us know if you and any friends and/or colleagues would like to place an order to go towards Sky’s trip. The order needs to be put in by April 15th. Arlene, her family and the Ka Ulukoa VBC helped the chapter at last year’s RPJ Summer Volleyball Tournament at Manoa, and flowers for a good cause mean mom’s going to appreciate them even more. Check out the form after the break.

Hunting for a Good Time: The Annual Kaimuki Easter Egg Hunt
Event Draws Huge Crowd
The Easter Bunny had to lay a lot of eggs Saturday, April 4th at Kaimuki’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt. 656 children registered for the event, easily surpassing last year’s total of 286. Blustery conditions didn’t deter parents (or Aunty Momi Tamashiro) from bringing their kids, but the windy morning did make the chapter’s bowling game a little easier for the children. However, many of them didn’t need any help at all bowling strikes from distance and close-range (one boy took the bowling ball and tapped each pin down).
The Kaimuki Lions Club and Central Pacific Bank also set up game booths, but the large amount of attendees wiped out their prize caches toward the end of the event. Eight RPJ members volunteered to man the game and prize booth, which offered the winners just enough jelly-bean filled easter eggs, toy cars, sunglasses, water guns, pencils, erasers and stickers to last the whole morning. Thanks to Anna Wong, Charisse Chu, Grant Mizuno, Anthony Higa, Winston Chow, Elvin Berzabal, Eve Epitome and Gayle Takasaki for their help with the event. More pics after the jump.

Kaimuki Easter Egg Hunt
Annual Event Needs Volunteers
This Saturday, April 4th is Kaimuki’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt, and RPJ needs volunteers to run its game booth. The event will be held at the Kaimuki District Park on Waialae Avenue, and the chapter needs about 8-12 people to man the booth. We’re doing a simple bowling game, and the kids who play it always seem to have a lot of fun. We’ll need folks there from 8 am to help setup. The event begins around 9 am, and will last until around noon. Please leave a comment here or email risingphoenixjaycees@yahoo.com if you would like to help out.
