‘Aha is a Hawaiian word for a meeting where members gather to discuss matters and provide leadership to a group of people.  For UTOPIA Hawai‘i, our ‘Aha (sometimes called by the Samoan word, Fono) is comprised of members who make the guiding decisions for our group.  Committees include Artwork, Newsletter, Culture, and Events & Activities.

‘Aha / Fono meetings are usually held once a month, while committees may meet more frequently.  To join the ‘Aha UTOPIA, we ask that a person have been to at least two of our functions.

OTHER MEMBERS AND FRIENDS

UTOPIA has many members who simply come to enjoy and participate in our events.  We also have friends & family who are not gay, but support all that we are…
