October
has been a busy month for ATRC. The month started off with an exhibit at the Children and Youth Day at the State
Capitol. Shortly after, ATRC participated in the Hawaii State Teachers'
Institute Day at the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall and several on the neighbor islands. Public school teachers
had an opportunity to check out our programs that benefits students.
To
end the month, ATRC with other agencies at 414 Kuwili Street, put on a
fun-filled Halloween Carnival. Over 90 children and adults, adorned in creative
costumes, enjoyed the entertainment, activities and food.
ATRC
provided live entertainment from the "ATRC Trio." The trio consisted of Deputy
Director Jodi Asato on vocals and keyboard, Technology Specialist Dave Balatico
on vocals and guitar, and Michael Leong (husband of Executive Director Barbara
Fischlowitz-Leong) on the drums. They rocked the AT Zone with hits from Jack
Johnson to Roberta Flack.
ATRC
thanks Kelvin Shimazu from the Shimazu Store for providing the popcorn, Craig
Fujii for capturing the Halloween moments and Michael Leong for the percussion.
