TRANSCRIPT
Peter Luango former musical director of the Langley Ukelele Ensemble now taken over by his son Paul Luango gave a brief history of the ensemble. They have been playing in Hawaii for over twenty years with a deal made with the Sheraton Waikiki. They have been entertaining us on their visits for many years.
Kathy Higa was finally presented with her well deserved trophy as Rotarian of the Year 2018-19 as it just arrived in the mail a few weeks late. Presenter was Past President Stephen Morgan who thanked her for the many projects she volunteered in during his Presidency.
It was great to see a good turnout of our members and guests to listen to the Langley Ukulele Ensemble performance at our Wednesday meeting. The music and entertainment by this young group under the direction of Paul Luango was superb.
