YOH Fun-time Happenings
Once in a while, we just need to hang loose, and enjoy
each other’s company. Thanks to Marisa, YOH has
arranged two gatherings so far: Dinner at Uncle Bo’s
and karaoke at Krazy Karaoke.

Andagi Anyone?
Before you know it, summer will be here
and cultural festivals happen every week-
end! I always look forward to buying a
bag of andagi. But, did you ever wonder
how it’s made, or how fun it can be to
drop andagi dough into the fryer? Here is
your chance: YOH will be making
andagi at the KCC Eisa festival on May
11, 2013, and also at the Autumn Festival
at the Hawaii Okinawan Center, held in
September. Sign up to help in the booth
my emailing us. Mahalo!

With Deepest Sympathy We would like to extend our condolences to the Itomura family for the recent passing of
Eleanor Mitsue Itomura
She was an active member of the following Okinawan clubs: Chatan-Kadena, Hui O laulima, and Ishikawa. Eleanor is survived by son, Jon Itomura - wife Darlene, Michele Nitta - husband Eric, and four grandchildren.
