Nappy Napoleon – waterman, coach, mentor
Anona Napoleon – paddler, organizer, inspiration

Aloha mai e hoa,

The Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu continues to work towards the 1918 mission of our founder, Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole: to elevate the social and intellectual status of Hawaiians, and to increase pride in Hawaiian heritage. To this end, we are proud to have awarded $60,000 in 2011 in scholarships to Hawaiian college students.

As you know, our annual scholarship benefit, Holokū Ball, is a long‐standing tradition that has become a huge success on many levels largely due to the generosity of community supporters. The event, named for the classic gown known as the holokū, is arguably the most elegant Hawaiian gala anywhere.

The Holokū Ball set for Saturday, March 3, 2012, at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel’s Monarch Room. He Aloha Nā Kai ‘Ewalu is our theme expressing deep love for Hawai‘i. This ocean‐related theme will set the tone for a spectacular evening of top Hawaiian entertainment, a fabulous silent auction, and world‐class cuisine designed by the culinary experts at the Royal Hawaiian.

This year we will be honoring four individuals who have exemplified our theme.

Buffalo Keaulana – waterman, leader, ambassador

Nappy Napoleon – waterman, coach, mentor

Anona Napolean – paddler, organizer, inspiration

Jon Van Dyke (posthumous) – attorney, champion of native rights and law, educator
