2. HEY. Team asked for smaller event. Ocean Day Monday. No banquet.
4. Thanks Karin but think it’s already filled. Which is why I didn’t put up anything.
Robyn had wanted RSVPs by earlier in the week.
3. As I wrote earlier they are still trying to work it out for Molokai. They want to do it but have to find a weekend that works with the sand season.
