On Nov. 30, 2008, the members of LEAHI gathered to create LEGO ornaments for
a Christmas tree to be displayed at Punahou School for the holiday season. We
weren’t expecting two trees, but we spent some additional time just building
and having fun.
This was a very fun group activity that any LUG can do. Everything on the
tree, except for the lights, are made from LEGO elements - the ornaments, the
toppers, the garland, and the presents - are all made of LEGO.
A very Merry Christmas to all from the members of LEAHI - the LEGO Enthusiasts Association of Hawaii.

It sure was fun! We were “limited” by the parts on hand at a school Lego
robotics lab, so we had to be a lot more creative using the limited range of
parts and colors. I think the more abstract ornaments, especially using gears,
wheels, and technic parts are pretty cool.

That’s no small display!!! Wow, what a great idea! Very cool! You have a great
imagination.
My JFLL Team went to the FLL State Tournament too, we studied Nano Technology
also. I wish I would have done something that cool!

Our LUG, LEAHI, put on a
small display at the
2006 Hawaii FLL Tournament this past weekend (Dec. 2, 2006) at the University of
Hawaii at Manoa’s Campus Center. We had a lot of fun, and impressed a lot of
children and adults with our various MOCs.
Since the FLL theme this year was “Nanotechnology”, we came up with the idea of
nano-scale (well, maybe microscale) minifigs and robots working inside of a
human blood vessel. Together, we formed a 5-foot long MOC called “Capillary
Action”:
Of course, what would a display be without a Town? Since it is the Holiday
season, we came up with a cool idea for something we named “The Christmas
Parade”:
And, of course there were many other brand-new MOCs made for this display, such
as Patrick’s “Legcutus of Borg” and “Warp Zone”, and a whole bunch of others,
which you will probably see in some upcoming posts:
Aloha!

I believe you are right, Ross, but I’d still like to hear from them anyways...
(it would be nice to see what they’ve been up to.) Thanks! :)

Aloha!
This newsgroup seems to be quite inactive and without any posts in the past few
years, so I thought I’d make one. (Actually, I wanted to make a post a long time
ago, but forgot about this newsgroup.) Auwe!
Anyway, I just wanted to mention a couple of things:
(1) Hawaii AFOLs are alive and well! And... we know that there are more
AFOLs out there (after all, someone’s buying up all the clearance sets!)
(2) Currently, there are a dozen LUGNET members who have listed Hawaii as their
location. Here is a complete list (w/LUGNET member #’s):
- Tamotsu Maruyama (306)
- Joel Lucero dela Cruz (453)
- Dan Jezek (454)
- Ester Gamache (870)
- Vanya deJung (990)
- Joanna Hicks (1226)
- Aaron Dengler (2011)
- Jin Wong (2131)
- Chris Weller (2450)
- Patrick Yrizarry (2496)
- Nelson Yrizarry (2497)
- Jessi Van Swae (2527)
I know Aaron and, of course, Patrick. Many of the other members do not seem to post here on LUGNET, or on other LEGO forums. Also, many of the above Members did not include an email address in their profiles (or have an invalid address now), so I hope that they will see this post. I would like to find out if these LUGNET members are still AFOLs, and also if they still live in Hawaii, as we move forward in growing the LEGO community locally.
(3) And, here is an open invitation to everyone else reading this:
If you reside in Hawaii, or if you are an AFOL who just moved to Hawaii,
please let us know!! We would be glad to meet you and have you become involved
in our LUG.
Feel free to reply to this thread... or you can email me at brickdaddy at gmail
dot com
(And, for you Kama’ainas: A translation on the above, in Pidgin):
Aloha! We like meet all da LEGO fans who stay in Hawaii, so if you know
somebody li ‘dat, but they no like post stuff on Lugnet or da kine, cause dey
shame - you know, da buggah who stay live by you wit all da LEGO stuff inside
his house - just tell ‘em, “Hey, brah - No be skedd!” and have dem email me, ok?
T’anks ‘eh, brah!!
I hope to hear from you soon. (btw, “Hea inoa” translates roughly to “roll
call” in Hawaiian.)
Mahalo nui loa!

Hi Jordan,
You can search for the members even without being registered as one. The way
I usually do it from the front page is:
#1- Click any "new member"
#2- On top of the page displayed (where it says "People/Members/#", choose
"Members".
#3- Multiple search options appear. Choose as you prefer (I suggest "By
country", since US users are listed for each state individually)
There are other ways to accomplish this, I just use this one 'cause I'm used
to it.
Good luck contacting those Hawaiian AFOLs! :-)

Thanks for cross-posting the message for me, Jude. Not surprisingly, I was
not aware of the fact that Hawaii has its own (albeit dead) newsgroup.
Thanks for the list, James. By the way, James, do you have to be registered
to search the members' list? I would presume so, since there's no link on
the main page. However, ya' never know. After all, the Cool Lego Site of the
Week disappeared for about 6 months.
