Jen McGeehan, Executive Director, Remember Thru Music, a Hawaii nonprofit, will be our guest speaker on Tuesday, October 19, 4:00 pm. Music has the capacity to bring back memories to those who experiencing memory loss. When listening to music, individuals are often able to remember who they are, who their family members are, and what they did for work. Music can be a lifeline between those with Alzheimer's and dementia and their caregivers. Residents on all islands may register for the Caregiver Support Group through the Foundation’s website, www.thecaregiverfoundation.org, or call 808.625.3782 for more information.

Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center hosts a free talk on October 21 as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom. This month’s speaker is Kimberly Dark on the topic “Conflict is Not Abuse: Taking the Responsibility to Repair.” In this talk, learn the difference between conflict and abuse and how sometimes, in the name of ‘not taking abuse,’ we fail to take responsibility for communicating clearly, nurturing long-term relationships and community cohesion, and participating in conflict. Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch, enjoy an informal and educational talk-story session, and meet others interested in “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace.” To get the Zoom link, contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.

Hilo Community Players present a distanced, drive-in style, live production of Richard O’Brien’s THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, October 22, 23, 24, 29 & 31 at 7:30pm at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium Parking Lot. Tickets are available now at HiloPlayers.org and are going quickly. Stage Direction is by Rachel Klein, Musical & Vocal Direction by Rachel Edwards and featuring Choreography by Nadia Schlosser -- This talented artistic team is sure to bring the show to life in an exciting way! When Brad and Janet’s car gets a flat tire they seek help from the threateningly sexy Frank ‘N’ Furter, the master of a strange castle in the middle of the woods, filled with a bizarre cast of characters. Not least of these unusual characters is Rocky Horror, a hunky muscle man created Frankenstein style by Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter. In the hilarious cult classic, which parodies many sci-fi and horror films, when Brad and Janet are greeted by the butler Riff-Raff, little do they know the full cast of weirdos that lies within the castle. Along with servants Magenta and Colombia a group of Transylvanians trick the young couple into doing the Time Warp and letting down their guard. Rescue from this unusual band of strangers seems possible with the appearances of both Eddie and Dr. Scott but if you’re a ‘Rocky Virgin’ you’ll have to come see what happens! Tickets are extremely limited, so reserve them now. Tickets are $5 more on the day of the show. TICKETS ARE PER PERSON, please be sure to reserve the correct number of tickets for the number of people in your vehicle. This show is a live drive-in. Entrance will open at 6:30pm for each show.
