THELMA PARKER GYM
Waimea, Hi.

It was a GREAT tournament with a good turnout, especially considering the current financial conditions and expense to travel to and within the Hawaiian Islands. We had 2 players from the Island of Oahu, one from Maui, and one from the Mainland USA. Thank you all for playing. I wish to also thank John Romoa for organizing the location, getting the tables to and from the venue, and all his tireless work. Thanks go out to Lesi Sekona also for all his hard work and for bringing a huge Boat Ice Chest filled with enough ice to keep all the water, pop, iced tea and other beverages cold all weekend long, that he donated. THANK YOU THANK YOU. Thanks also to Waimea Parks & Rec for allowing us use of the gym. It was a great facility and hopefully we can use it again and again. Below are some video of the event. One is the Open Singles Final and the other has video of various players playing in their events, much include my wife (lol).....just a beginner. Enjoy. Also, pictures of the winners are included and random pictures from the tournament. Thanks also to our GREAT SPONSORS, without them we could not have given out the prizes we did and had the event turn out so well...... Mahalo to:
