The Lahaina Complex After School Tutor Project thanked Leilani’s on the Beach for honoring 71 participants for their volunteer service and success. The April 10 event, hosted by Manager Jason Donez and assisted by Sean McClenahan, was a magnificent success with an “ono-to-the-max” lunch. George Kahumoku Jr. and Ed Gazabat provided relaxing and beautiful music. “On behalf of the 154 adult and Lahainaluna High School math tutors, and of the 300 students we tutored and their parents, we give Leilani’s on the Beach a huge mahalo,” said tutor project Coordinator Pat Endsley.
