Sonny Gamponia is leading a Kaunoa Senior Center class at the Refuge from 9:00am to 12:30 p.m. titled “How to read the aina – reading time, culture and human influence on the aina”. If you are interested in joining Sonny’s class please RSVP to Sonny @ sgamponia@yahoo.com and bring a lunch and dress for walking and hot, sunny weather conditions.
