Bon dance calendar runs May 30
Advertiser Staff
One of those things that makes living in Hawai'i special is the annual series of o-bon festivals held by Buddhist temples and community organizations statewide.
The Advertiser will publish its annual bon dance calendar May 30, in advance of the bon dance season, which begins in June and continues through August. Each week, that week's bon dances will be listed in the TGIF and Faith calendars as well.
If your organization is planning an o-bon observance, we'd like to hear from you. Include time, date, place, events planned and phone number. Write: Bon Dance Calendar, Island Life, The Advertiser, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96802; islandlife@honoluluadvertiser.com or fax 525-8055.

Share a story about your hanai mom
Have a hanai family member you want to honor this Mother's Day?
We mean "hanai" in the sense of someone who is like a mother to you, even if she doesn't share your bloodline, and even if there's no binding agreement keeping you together.
Tell us about why the person deserves the honor, and we'll print a sampling of responses. Please include your neighborhood and daytime phone number.
Photos are welcome. Send entries to relationships writer Tanya Bricking Leach by e-mail at tbricking@honoluluadvertiser.com or snail mail at The Advertiser, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96802. Deadline is today.
