Hui O Hula was honored ….

Hui O Hula was honored to be invited by Joe Samoa McMullin to participate in a paddle-out memorial for Surfrider champion and ocean advocate Tony Soriano at Seal Beach Ray Bay on May 28. Hui O Hula dancers have been part of Seal Beach's 'Ohana/ Family Day for several years and remembered the beloved Soriano with the hula "Aloha 'Oe/Farewell To Thee". 'Ohana Day was one of the marquee events founded by Soriano 15 years ago to gather and educate the community about ocean pollution and health. It will be renamed the "Tony Soriano Ohana Day". Hula lessons are given on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Clubhouse 6 and Veterans Plaza starting at 1 p.m. Everyone is invited regardless their skill level. For more information call (562) 431-2242.
