Annual Luncheon

The Hawaii State Chapter of the American Red Cross held its Annual Fundraiser Luncheon on Sunday, April 26, 2009 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Kahala Hotel & Resort. The event recognized the American Red Cross’ critical role of supporting military families, especially during times of crisis.

Guests enjoyed a champagne reception while mingling through a fabulous silent auction. Vocalist and artist Kristian Lei amazed guests with her beautiful voice, and Harpist Ruth Freedman entertained guests while they enjoyed a delicious three-course lunch. A relaxing Four Seasons Maui getaway door prize winner was the perfect culmination to the event.
