ALOHA KAHOU - Greetings & a Warm Welcome to All HROCC OHANA.....May we continue our paddling journey always with ALOHA and RESPECT - Respect for ourselves, for one another, and our Wa'a (canoe).......Throughout Hawaii & Polynesia, the Wa'a is Highly Respected as a Family Member. As we begin a new year of paddling, let us embrace the Spirit of Aloha and bring only positive actions, thoughts, and feelings into the canoe.

MALAMA KEKAHI I KEKAHI - Let us take care of one another.....Much Aloha, John
