Holt Ohana Reorganization Planned

Descendants of Robert William Holt are invited to a reorganizational meeting at 9 a. m. on Saturday, May 14, at the Queen Liliu'okalani Children's Center, 1300 Halona St. in Kapalama.

A steenng committee of a dozen family members called the elan together for the Ho'olokahi Unity Day in January, and the reunion was such a success that it was agreed the Holt Association of Hawaii should reorganize after a dormancy of seven years. A very special treat on the agenda will be the presence of family member John Dominis Holt, noted writer, publisher and historian, who will be speaking on the history of the Holt family in Hawaii

and England. He will share his extensive research and rich knowledge with family members as an incentive fo unify the elan. In addition, cousins ean sign up for membership, pay dues of $5 and take part in a discussion of plans for future activities. If there are any questions, please contact the following cousins:

Wattie Holt Wright, 672-9013; Gussie Rankin Bento, 842-8232 during business hours; Harvalee Holt Nary, 923-1811(B) or 988-4869(H); and on Kauai eall Christopher Owen Kauahi at 332-8852. The younger generation of Holt cousins is especially urged to attend and leam the family history.
