A Celebration of Fatherhood 2010
Fun, fun and more fun was the order of the day at the 6th Annual Celebration of Fatherhood, held on Saturday June 12th at the Swing Zone in Kona.

County, the particular program that provided for the delivery of the
baskets was suspended, leaving some parents unsure of what community
resources were available to them if they had a need.
