On October 19, 2019, ʻŌlelo Community Media hosted our annual Client and Volunteer Appreciation Party. Celebrating 30 years of ʻŌlelo Community Media and the hard work and dedication of the outstanding video producers, members, technicians, volunteers, and supporters. The event was held at the Pearl Country Club and Client Jeff Gere Emceed the event. As guests arrived, they were given the opportunity to participate with our Road Show Photobooth and enjoyed a bingo mixer where they got to get to know each other and our staff. We enjoyed Client Pule from Pastor James Anderson before dinner.
Throughout the evening, guests were treated with live music by Tioni + Wade Acoustic Duo. At the end of the formal program, each Media Service Center (MSC) Manager honored one stand-out volunteer from each of their centers.
