Bud Kaipat, Gus Kaipat, and Kyle Kaipat on stage at last night's 2nd Friday Family Fun Night in Koblerville, Saipan, June 29, 2007.

Hello, Friends! Come on out to the Koblerville Youth Learning Center (Substation) tonight and buy yourselves a $5 plate of food and listen to Olomwaay perform. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Little League All Stars who will be representing the CNMI in Hong Kong! The event is from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Juan Celis Lizama, Jr. ("Jun") volunteered to join Olomwaay on stage for a number.

He's also the youngest Kaipat family member of Olomwaay. His real middle name is Kaipat, but Dad decided to get creative and add his own middle name on the birth certificate. But Jun's mama is my youngest sister Frances, and Jun is her youngest son.

Fundraiser Concert For Little League All Stars Hong Kong Trip This Saturday, June 30, 2007

Tonight, I met with the parents, coaches, and some of the Little League All Stars who will be representing the CNMI in Hong Kong early July. We're having a fundraiser concert this Saturday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Koblerville Youth Center Complex in Koblerville.

Come hear Olomwaay, Gus' band, play as well as Joe Limes' band. Buy yourself a dinner plate for $5 and help support the kids in this worthwhile cause.

Tell all your friends, neighbors, and family, and, as my friend Sam Joyner always says, "Better yet, Beat me there!" Hmmm...let's ask Sam to perform. He's a big supporter of the youths.

Time is running out and we need everyone's help! Thank you.

P.S. Just a friendly reminder that the Friday Family Fun night is still on for this Friday and every Friday. We're having this fundraiser on Saturday so as not to interfere with Friday's regular activities.
