Big mahalo to the parents who helped out: Joel Gormley, Jason Apuya, Nathan Higashionna. Mahalo to Mrs. Gormley for the Slurpees! Also mahalo to Jonah's sister Chelsea for helping out with sign holding even though it was hot out there.
Each of the 6 Thunder put a good sent into his travel cost today. Well worth 3 hours of teamwork in the sun and a little rain. The folks in Kailua were very friendly and generous.
Next spot will be Pearl City, park at Home Depot and hit the intersection near there. Sierra's dad, Eric, recommends it highly. Her Islanderz team did well there two weeks ago.
If we have at least 6 Thunder players (and two adults), we'll go for the 9:00 am start to secure the spot ahead of any other teams. The second shift can come in at 11:30 am and go until 2:00 pm. Whoever wants to stay for both can do that and double his/her share.
If we don't have a 9:00 am shift, then we'll just start at 11:00 am and go until 2:00 pm, just a single shift (like today). Please bring coolers and ice. I'll bring some cases of water and ice, but that's it. There's limited space in my car because I'm probably picking up some players again.
Final note: We have distributed more than 300 tickets out of the 400 that were printed. That's pretty good considering we just received them yesterday (Friday). Please crank out the phone calls, emails and texts to all family and friends. They love huli chicken. Give them every chance to bask in the wonderful aroma of the juicy half chickens. Plural.
WE LUB TEAMWORK! WE LUB THIS GAME!
