BIG Mahalos to the Locations Foundation for sponsoring our annual movie day for 150 matches/families/friends in attendance to watch Toy Story 4. In addition, each movie-goer was treated to a snak-pak. The Foundation also awarded the winners of our movie day essay contest with a couple tickets each to the water park and a round of mini-golf. With Toy Story being about friends, our essay theme this year was “Who is one of your best friends and what qualities do you value in a friendship?”
Pictured: Megumi Nekotani and Judy Kumano of Locations Foundation with Little Sister Jessie, Little Sister Mia, and Little Brother DJ who were winners of the essay contest.
