SCHOFIELD BARRACKS -- The greatest show, here, took place Saturday when the Hui 'O Na Wahine All Ranks Spouses Club hosted it's Beaux Arts Ball at the Nehelani.
The Hui's annual event is designed to promote friendship and fun in the community.
The board chose to create a circus-themed masquerade ball this year, complete with midway games and the O.N.E. Nation Army show band.
All spouses and guests who attended the ball formed teams with their own themes and costumes.
Community service a key element
Hui attendees donated $4,000 worth of items to the Chaplain's Pantry for needy military families, including baby food, formula, wipes, diapers and a basket of baby clothes and booties. There were also nonperishable foods and canned goods for the whole family.
"We have a good time, but we are here to serve the community," said Kathy Fox, community outreach chair.
Last year, the Hui donated almost $100,000 to various nonprofit and community service groups. The Hui also awarded $10,000 in merit-based scholarships to military dependents. This level of generosity is only possible through community support of the Hui Thrift Shop.
Evening of entertainment
"A few of our teams, this year, were 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'The Lego Movie' and Valentine's Day," said Hui President Shawna Hall. "Everyone in attendance was thoroughly entertained by the show. It was clear a lot of planning and preparation went into this year's skits."
Army Music Hawaii's high-energy party band, O.N.E. Nation, rocked the house for the ball's social hour. O.N.E. Nation will be performing on General's Loop, Saturday, Feb. 21st.
"If there was anything you would want to go to, after church, of course, this would be it," said Chaplain (Maj.) Denise Hagler. "You will enjoy the Hui."
