I am pleased to send
my warmest aloha to everyone attending the Fifth Annual Hawaii
Book and Music Festival on the Frank F. Fasi Civic Center

diverse group of performers, including more than 500 authors,
musicians, choral singers, dancers, storytellers and
playwrights. Most importantly, it contributes to literacy, a
vital part of our society.
The 2010 festival features a fascinating group
of presenters who will delight audiences with their creativity
and talent. A broad range of new nationally and locally
published authors, such as Bright Triumphsfrom Dark Hours’ Dave
Heenan and The Descendants’ Kaui Hart Hemmings. Other performers
featured on the main stage include musicians Brittni Paiva and
Jeff Peterson, and dancers Willow Chang and Kaumakaiwa Kanakaole.
We welcome to the Mission Memorial Auditorium the melodic
singers ofthe Hawaii Chorus Showcase, under the direction of
Shari Lynn, and are pleased to also offer activities, books and
entertainment for the keiki.
Congratulations to all who worked so hard to
organize this much-anticipated book and music extravaganza.
Mahalo to the festival board, sponsors and volunteers who
