Welina mai 2015! Ma ka Pōʻakahi hou, ua hoʻomaha wau mai kaʻu pāʻina hoʻomaha mau e noʻonoʻo ai i ka makahiki o California ReLeaf. Ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka makahiki 2014 me ka haʻalele ʻana o Joe Liszewski, ko mākou luna hoʻokele. A ua ʻike mākou e haʻalele ana ʻo Kathleen Farren, ka luna hoʻokele manawa lōʻihi o ka waihona kālā a me ke kālā i Iulai. ʻO ia ka 50% o ka huli ʻana o nā limahana!
Laki mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o Amelia Oliver i luna a ma ke ʻano he Luna Hoʻokele manawa ʻoiai mākou e ʻimi nei i kahi mea hou. A ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua lōʻihi ka huli ʻana ma mua o kā mākou i hoʻolālā ai. Akā, ua weliweli ka hopena a ua hui ʻo Cindy Blain i Kaleponi ReLeaf i ʻOkakopa. Ua loaʻa iā Amelia kahi ala e hoʻopili ai i ka manawa ma waena o ka haʻalele ʻana o Kathleen a me ka hōʻea ʻana mai o kahi limahana hou. ʻO wai lā ʻo Amelia!

Pono lākou a me ka Papa Hoʻokele e hoʻomaha i kā lākou laurel no kekahi manawa. Akā ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo ʻo ka hoʻomaha ka mea a Cindy i manaʻo ai. Ke kāʻei nei au i koʻu kāʻei noho, no ka mea, he holo hihiu paha ka makahiki 2015.
