FEATURING OUR FRIENDS

Bowled Over by the Next Generation!
A feature on Puna Choo

By MaryAnne Long, Friends Club Volunteer Leadership Team Member

When I look around the tables at many of our Friends Club (FC) gatherings, I see a lot of white hair and worry about who will replace us in the coming years.  Hopefully, that concern may be resolved as there is a new crop of community-minded young people coming up the ranks. 

One such example is Puna Choo, son of Char and Steve Choo. Steve is a Friends Club member and Char volunteers at the Friends of Hawaii Charities (FOHC) office and the Sony Open tournament.
