Title: the Life Support Systems of Kings Pond and Kumu Kai Speaker: Kelsey Makida Presentation Summary: We’ll be looking into the design and features of the life support systems that keep Kings Pond and the aquariums in Kumu Kai running. Each system is unique to its purpose and the animals it supports. Bio: Kelsey is originally from Southern California, and developed an affinity to marine life after a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium at a young age. This spark let her to the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, earning a B.A. in Marine Science. Kelsey has interned at the Pacific Aquaculture & Coastal Resources Center, working with various marine life, narrowing her focus on sustainable aquaculture and the importance these studies have had on Hawaiian history. She has also cultivated marine organisms for food and training in husbandry. Kelsey has obtained a certificate in Veterinary Assisting, applying those skills with her care for the marine life here at the Resort. Recently, Kelsey received her Life Support Systems Operator certification Level 1 from the AALSO Organization. Time: Friday, April 25 ~10:30am

It’s that magical time of year when the sun is coming up earlier and setting later. And the Francolins are taking their babies for walks around the neighborhood. As soon as I saw the brood traipsing across my lanai, I grabbed my phone for a shot. But just opening the door was enough noise to send them fleeing for shelter. I am still in pursuit of a great shot: I try to sneak up stealthily but to no avail. Yesterday I was still in my pajamas when they came by and I jumped up to follow them…which was to the neighbors’s front lawn.The renter, seeing this woman in her pjs stalking the bushes, slid open his lanai door. Before he could ask, I said (as if this would explain my attire and hair rollers), “It’s the Francolins. They have babies.” He looked at me as if I were crazy and quickly shut his door.

A LOOK AT THE HISTORIC RELATIONSHIPS OF CORALS
AND PEOPLE
Andrea Ehlers, one of our Marine Biologists, explains ways humans have used corals
throughout time. We will learn about different cultures’ relationships with reef animals
in the Mediterranean, Gulf of California, and Hawaii. Andrea received her Bachelor
of Science in Marine Science from the University of Hawaii at Hilo. She enjoys diving,
photography, and aquaculture. Growing corals is what led her to pursue a degree in
Marine Science and she is interested in how people throughout time have had their
lives influenced by corals. We hope to see you there!

Aloha ‘Ohana – a note from the Ohana Foundation!
Following Mr. & Mrs. Parsons’ generous $100,000 pledge to the Hualalai ‘Ohana Foundation, we were encouraged and inspired to launch a campaign that builds on their generosity and the extraordinary effort of the Ke‘olu Golf team – Brendan, Ryan, Scott, and Aiden* (see a recent note from Aiden below). Last week, in an incredible display of skill and endurance, this incredible team completed 100 holes of golf in just 2 hours and 22 minutes!
In recognition of this achievement, we have the opportunity to rally our community and maximize our collective impact throughout the month of February. We hope you’ll join us in fueling this momentum as we promote the opportunity to Hualalai’s ‘ohana at the link below and share it with your friends in celebration of our awesome golf professionals and collective workforce ‘ohana!
https://hualalaiohanafoundation.networkforgood.com/events/82409-firing-100-holes
P.S. – since we’re celebrating achievements, please join us in cheering on Aiden, who recently received a promotion at Hualalai! Woohoo! Aiden participated in the Foundation’s LEAP program, completing the PGA’s Qualifying Level and Level 1 Certification programs through your support.

Festive 2024 is in the books. We were lucky this year to have our whole family together–the first time since 2019. We’re eleven–just one of the families gathered together to share in the wonders of the ohana of Hualalai. Here are a few snaps!
crossed that this eruption seems different than the 14 before it.
