May 7th 2011 - Dancing with the Stars. Aiea Chapter members did the decorations
for the stage and the reception table and look at what a wonderful job they did! Just
think how much hot air it took to blow all those balloons up. Thanks Kuulei for all the balloons.
She even brought the air to blow up them up so that we wouldn't need to ask anyone for hot
air for the balloons. Otherwise, it would have taken the wind out of everyone and no one
would have been able to dance much afterwards. But, as things turned out, everything went
perfect and everyone had a grand time - even the workers! THANKS TO ALL THE
OFFICERS AND MEMBERS of Aiea for the beautiful decorations that night! Even the
routines by the different "stars" were enjoyable!
