Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Rail Yard Tucson for an incredible evening of island-style food (catered in by Ohana BBQ) and Kailey Petelo from University of Arizona's Pasifika Collective, cultural connection, and fellowship with our Pacific Islander 'Ohana at the University of Arizona & Tucson community.
