Bring a dish to share, this is our last Kōkua Mau meeting to network and socialize before 2020.

Thur. December 5, 20193pm-5pmHonpa Hongwanji Hawaii BetsuinMulti-purpose Room, downstairs1727 Pali HighwayHonolulu, HI 96813

Please access to the temple campus is from driveway off Lusitana Street, not the Pali Highway.

There is plenty of free parking all around the buildings on the campus. Map on our website.

Take the first right on the Pali Highway after the merge with the H1
turn-off. Take a right on Lusitania and the driveway into the temple
campus is to your right. There is a second entrance on the makai side,
right after the bus stop, if you missed it.

We are grateful for the temple to invite us and host our meetings.
