Entertainers sought for keiki shelter event

Advertiser Staff

The Rock and Roll Motorcycle Club — a small, nonprofit volunteer group — has put out the call for magicians, musicians and balloon twisters to volunteer their time to entertain 137 keiki at a "Toys for Tots" event from 4 to 6 p.m. tomorrow at the Wai'anae Civic Center emergency homeless shelter.

The children are residents of the shelter, known as Pai'olu Kaialulu, and club members want to make the special occasion one the children won't forget.

Donations of time, talent and money will bring holiday cheer to youngsters who don't have much, organizers said. The club needs a variety of toys and or gift certificates for boys and girls ranging in age from newborns to 17.

Toys for Tots drop boxes can be found at Kaneohe Physical Therapy, Ewa Beach Physical Therapy and Wahiawa Physical Therapy, as well as at USA Baby in Waipahu and on Nimitz Highway, Baby Emporium in Honolulu, Andy's Bike Shop, Island Air, Kailua Pool and Spa, Island Pool and Spa Supplies, Progressive Auto Sounds, and Coordinated Wire Rope of Hawaii in the Kalihi industrial area.

All toys will go to the children of the Wai'anae homeless shelter, Shriners Hospital and Kapi'olani Medical Center.

Those interested in helping can call Michael Panzo at 457-6955.
