The Night in Chinatown Parade for Lunar New Year is planned for Saturday, January 30, 2016, from 3 pm to 6:30 pm.
This is a terrific event and an opportunity for girls to represent Girl Scouts of Hawai‛i (and, perhaps, promote upcoming cookie sales). The activity fee is $3.25 for girls (fee includes a patch) and 50 cents for adults. This year's patch will be round, with a monkey on it in recognition of the incoming Year of the Monkey.
To register, email your troop number and number of participating girls and adults to Clinton Wong (Honolulu Service Manager) at nuuanugs_99@yahoo.com by November 30, 2015. You must meet this deadline in order to receive a patch. Troop checks are payable to Honolulu Service Unit, c/o Clinton Wong, 3654D Nuuanu Pali Dr., Honolulu HI 96817.
A quick note on attire:Girls should be wearing their vest or sash, ideally with white shirt, khaki skirt, skort or pants. The white shirt is not a requirement; Daisies, Brownies & Juniors should feel free to wear any GSUSA or GSH t-shirt. Closed-toe shoes are required.
Another opportunity with a looming deadline is Hawai‛i Women in Filmmaking's free Making Media that Matters program for girls ages 13-19. MMTM is a filmmaking program for girls, and during the program, participants will learn to make a short film and develop critical thinking skills by examining issues that affect them and their communities. Making Media that Matters provides a platform for girls to tell their stories and be agents of social change through film.
The program takes place on Fridays from January 22 - April 15, 2016, from 4 pm to 7 pm. The deadline to apply is December 6, 2015. For more information, please email vera@hawaiiwomeninfilmmaking or call 206-0848.
