  Join us on October 21st at 5PM for an intermediate embroidery workshop! Constance is a military spouse who will be leading this 2-3 hour floral/turtle embroidery class at the Mololani Community Center. All supplies and materials are included but please bring a snack or drink to share!

  This is a relaxed and social way to learn embroidery together. We will be using the stem stitch and french knot (both of which were taught in last year's beginner class) as well as the lazy daisy and woven rose stitches! If you're brand new to embroidery, don't be intimidated by an intermediate class. Constance is an excellent teacher and you will be starting with a simple beginner stitch before moving on to the more complicated flowers!

  There are only 10 spots available and the final headcount needs to be provided to the vendor by 10/12 so make sure to sign up ASAP!

  How to register:

  Register here for $O on the website.

  Naomi will email you the Venmo for payment within 24 hours. You'll have another 24 hours to submit payment or risk losing your spot.

  Once payment is complete, you will receive a confirmation email.

  Please keep your RSVP up to date. If your availability changes, please cancel your reservation so others can join. You can sell your seat to any KOSC member.

  October's Book Club pick is First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston!

  Trust no one in this expertly written, suspenseful thriller about con artists, hidden identities and shifting timelines with characters who live in a morally grey area. 

  Want a taste of what this book has in store for you? 

  "Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a tight group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.

  The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.

  Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job isn’t like the others. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes—especially after what happened last time.

  Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there’s still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn’t be higher—but then, Evie has always liked a challenge." 

  
  

  Here's what people have to say about it: 

  "This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through." -Reese Witherspoon (Reese's book club's January '24 pick)

  "The cleverly-crafted plot and whip-smart protagonist mean you won't know who to trust in this edge-of-your-seat thriller." -Reader's Digest 

  
  

  Grab your books (or add it to your library requests) and start reading! We will meet on Wednesday, October 28th to discuss. After you register, we will send you the exact address of this month's Book Club.

  November's Book Club pick is Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley!

  Perry Firekeeper-Birch has always known who she is -- the laidback twin, the troublemaker, the best fisher on Sugar Island. Her aspirations won't ever take her far from home, and she wouldn't have it any other way. But as the rising number of missing Indigenous women starts circling closer to home, as her family becomes embroiled in a high-profile murder investigation, and as greedy grave robbers seek to profit off of what belongs to her Anishinaabe tribe, Perry begins to question everything.
  
  In order to reclaim this inheritance for her people, Perry has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She can only count on her friends and allies, including her overachieving twin and a charming new boy in town with unwavering morals. Old rivalries, sister secrets, and botched heists cannot - will not - stop her from uncovering the mystery before the ancestors and missing women are lost forever.
  
  Sometimes, the truth shouldn't stay buried.

  
  

  Here's what people have to say about this New York Times bestseller: 
  

  "A compelling narrative about one teen’s attempt to undo some of the injustices her community and people have faced." -School Library Journal, starred review

  "Another powerful, suspenseful page-turner from Boulley"-The Horn Book, starred review

  "A page-turning heist grounded in a nuanced exploration of critical issues of cultural integrity." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review

  "[I]ncredibly engaging...This quick follow-up to Boulley's best-selling, award-winning Firekeeper’s Daughter carries over all the same intrigue, tension, and heartbreak." -BookList

  Happy reading! We will get together on Wednesday, November 18th to discuss. Please register to receive the exact address of this month's book club.

  REMEMBRANCE BARGE TOUR 
  

  Thursday, November 19, 2026 | 11:00 AM–1:00 PM
  Pacific Fleet Aiea Landing (COMPACFLT Boathouse)
   Cost: FREE

  Join KOSC for a truly special opportunity to honor our nation’s fallen heroes through a private U.S. Pacific Fleet Remembrance Barge Tour of Pearl Harbor.

  As military spouses, we have the privilege of participating in this unique military benefit—an experience that offers an intimate and meaningful opportunity to reflect on the events of December 7, 1941, and pay our respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

  Our approximately two-hour experience includes a visit to the historic Pacific Fleet Boathouse Museum, a short film about the attack on Pearl Harbor, and a narrated cruise around Ford Island aboard the Pacific Fleet’s Remembrance Barge.

  The highlight of our journey will be an exclusive group visit to the USS Arizona Memorial, where we will have approximately 30 minutes to quietly reflect, remember, and honor the 1,177 sailors and Marines who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona.

  This is a rare opportunity to experience Pearl Harbor in a more personal setting, away from the crowds of the regularly scheduled public tours.

  • Please arrive by 10:30 AM to allow time for parking, identification verification, and check-in.

  A Two-Hour Tour… What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

  Grab your hat, your sunscreen, and your sense of adventure—we’re heading across Kāneʻohe Bay for our very own two-hour tour of Coconut Island!

  And yes, that Coconut Island. Moku o Loʻe famously appeared in the opening credits of Gilligan’s Island, so boarding a small boat to get there feels just a little too perfect. Don’t worry, though—we plan to return the same day. No shipwrecks, no mysterious castaways, and no need to pack enough clothes for several television seasons.

  Once ashore, we’ll join the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology for a guided one-mile walking tour around Moku o Loʻe, learning about the island’s fascinating history and the marine research happening there today. Along the way, we may get hands-on with marine invertebrates at the touch table and even spot sharks in the outdoor research pens.

  Space is extremely limited—only 12 castaways…er, participants…can join us!

  November 24
  Approximately 2 hours
  Boat transportation to the island included
  Approximately 1 mile of walking
  Open to participants ages 5 and older
  Cost: $20 per person
  Payment will be collected in advance by KOSC

  Come explore one of Kāneʻohe Bay’s most unique places—and find out why Coconut Island deserves to be famous for much more than a certain stranded TV crew!

  ️ SECOND CHANCE TO TOUR COCONUT ISLAND! 
  

  Our first Coconut Island tour filled quickly, and we were lucky enough to secure one more private KOSC tour before the end of the year!

  Join us for a special guided walking tour of Moku o Loʻe (Coconut Island), home of the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB). We’ll take a short boat ride across Kāneʻohe Bay before exploring the island and learning about its fascinating history and the marine research happening there today.

   Wednesday, December 16, 2026
  ⏰ 9:00–11:00 AM
   HIMB – Coconut Island (Moku o Loʻe)
   Limited to 12 participants
   $20 per person
   Ages 5+

  WHAT TO EXPECT

  The approximately two-hour experience includes a boat ride to Coconut Island and a guided walking tour of roughly one mile. Along the way, we’ll learn about the island’s history, visit areas connected to HIMB’s marine research, and have opportunities to see some of the marine life studied there.

  ✅ REGISTRATION

  Your spot is not fully registered until BOTH steps are completed:

  1. Pay $20 per participant via Venmo:
  @Kristina-Cassingham

  2. Complete the HIMB digital liability waiver for each participant:

   Adult Waiver
  

  Child Waiver

  Because space is extremely limited, please complete both payment and the waiver promptly to secure your spot.

  PARKING & CARPOOLING — PLEASE READ!

  Parking for this tour is a little unusual, so carpooling is highly recommended! The fewer vehicles we have to coordinate, the easier our morning will be.

  We will meet at Lilipuna Pier:
   46-007 Lilipuna Road, Kāneʻohe

  There is no visitor parking at the pier, and the HIMB parking lot guard rail is closed to the public.

  Plan to drop passengers off at the closed guard rail by approximately 8:45 AM. Passengers will walk down the steep hill to the pier while drivers park separately along Lilipuna Road and use the HIMB shuttle system to return to the pier.

   HIMB Shuttle Car & Parking Instructions:
  HIMB Shuttle Instructions
  

  Please allow extra time for parking and transportation to the pier. Our boat cannot wait for late arrivals.

  This is such a unique opportunity to visit a place many of us see from the shores of Kāneʻohe Bay but rarely get the chance to explore. I’m so excited that we were able to arrange a second KOSC tour before the end of 2026! 

  Space is limited to just 12 participants, so register early!
