Aloha & Good Morning!
Today Maui will enjoy a high of 80 degrees
with a chance of showers.
Did you know that I
love to sing? My greatest love is for
country music and when I was 15 years old I was in a competition and got to
sing on the Grand Ole' Opery. I've
played many different instruments growing up including the coronet, flute,
piano, saxophone and some drums. Singing
in private and for others always makes my heart happy. I'm telling you this because I audition for a
spot in an upcoming competition on Maui.
The Realtors Association
of Maui is hosting a talent contest called RAM's Got Talent and I've been given
a chance to compete. The event is coming
up and RAM is selling tickets. The money raised will go towards the Realtors®
Presidential Scholarship and Maui Onstage at The Historic Iao Theater.
