17th Annual San Francisco, Bay Area Aloha Festival

From the volunteermatch.org website:

"The 17 th Annual San Francisco Aloha Festival will take place on, Saturday & Sunday, August 4 & 5, 2012. We are proud to announce the new location of the festival will be held at the San Mateo County Event Center, 1346 Saratoga Drive, San Mateo, CA 94403.

The Pacific Islanders’ Cultural Association welcomes volunteers to participate in several phases of the event. As a volunteer you may find yourself greeting patrons, assisting guests with directions, securing the venue, selling merchandise, crafting art with children, or helping out others in areas needed.

Each volunteer represents a "face" of the Aloha Festival and thereby is an ambassador of the event. We

encourage our volunteers to embrace the Aloha Spirit when volunteering.

"The Aloha Spirit is your willingness to share your time, knowledge, and talents with those

whose lives you touch, be it family, friends, or strangers," said Shirley Avilla, Former President of PICA.

Our mission ... is to develop and perpetuate through education, the histories, cultures, traditional and contemporary folk arts of the Pacific Islanders, mainly through our annual Aloha Festival.

We appreciate you volunteering your time and providing your services at the 17 th Annual San

Francisco, Bay Area Aloha Festival! If you have further questions or require more information, please contact me at volunteers@pica-org.org.

Mahalo,
