Serving a "potluck style" lunch at 12:30 pm, no need to bring food just an appetite to share in fellowship and good times with community friends and neighbors.� This is a "indoor" event so don't worry about the summer heat.� However, we will have our 3^rd Street Open Space available for those who wish to just "hang out" and watch the sights of Skid Row-Kyo.�

FREE entertainment, games and contests will take place through out the event.� Lunch time entertainment will be provided by "Mx'd Plate" a motley band of musically inclined friends who share a love of fun, food, and the Hawaiian Spirit.� However, they are not fearful of tackling a variety of genres, so don't be surprised!!!� Mx'd Plate expresses many thanks to the community for the opportunity and to share a big "ALOHA!!!" with everyone��

Other entertainment includes a "Open Mic", free games with prizes for all ages and a public Ondo / Bon Odori starting at 3:15 pm (2^nd dance session at 4 pm.)� The first dance session will include a "Ondo Cash Dance" where someone participating in the ondo has a opportunity to win a $100 cash prize.� This event has taken place annually for the last 5 years (reminder � no local obons on this day � "another chance to dance" opportunity.)� This FREE event is our way of thanking the community for all the support they provide to us and our missions.� Skid Row-Kyo Mission:�
