"In Struts the Rooster" setting the theme for Chapter 56's New Year luncheon and inspiring some very creative centerpieces and exhibit arrangements.  Following a brief business meeting, Viva kept us all alert and on schedule as MC opening the rest of the program with a wonderful welcoming oli by Malina Kaulukukui acknowledging our safe arrival despite the wind and rain.  After a delicious buffet we were entertained by Dr. Shu-Hwa Lin who spoke on traditional Japanese garments and crests and then showed slides of some recent fashion designs incorporating these traditional motifs and materials.
