Mahalo Nui to those who lovingly are preparing our food, to the farmers and fishers who tended and caught the food, to the sun, wind, water, rain and soil who grew the food, and to Ke Akua and our Kupuna who made it all possible.

Mahalo to WHH Foundation, The Ulupono Initiative, and Hau Oli Mau Loa Foundation for their generous support

Mahalo to ALL our Presenters for 2013!
