Waipahu Aloha Clubhouse Grand Reopening

Congratulations to Waipahu Aloha Clubhouse on their Grand Reopening! Such a great program with a welcoming space and inviting members. Hearing the testimonial of members on how the clubhouse has helped and welcomed them was wonderful. The food and music created a great atmosphere to mingle and enjoy the space. Mahalo for inviting SHADE Institute to celebrate with you!
