Mahalo alumni for attending!

Madi

On Sunday, August 14, 2022, the Hawaii FIRST Alumni Chapter celebrated it’s first social at the Rainbow Pavilions. Thank you so much to VP Sarah Dulay for reserving the location, renting the popcorn and cotton candy machine, as well as, getting Scoop Scoops Ice Cream and donated gummy candy from Frost Bites HI. The overall event was a success where Alumni were able to meet not only 2022 graduates, but also alumni who now mentor other teams. We hope that everyone who was able to attend had a great time, and we hope to see you at our next social/networking event.
