TALK STORY

The monthly small group Talk Story is a way for the in-person and on-line folks to get to know each other and build relationships. You don't need to be on Hawai'i Island to be part of the Hokuloa 'Ohana!

This is an opportunity to meet on line (via Zoom) and share news, conversations, and stories with 'ohana from across Hawai'i Island and the Mainland.
