We would like to recognize and celebrate our longtime staff member at Hale O Honolulu Clubhouse, Linda Wakatake, for her 21 years of dedication and service to our clubhouse! It was bittersweet to see Linda leave HOH, but we are so happy for her as she begins an exciting new chapter as the Director of Ko'olau Clubhouse. With 22 years of service with the Department of Health, Linda has made a lasting impact through her commitment, knowledge, and passion for what she does.
Linda also brought her background in the culinary field into our clubhouse kitchen, sharing countless wonderful recipes, cooking techniques, and styles with our team. We were truly fortunate to learn from her and carry on the many skills and recipes she shared with us. Her influence will continue to be felt in our kitchen and throughout the HOH ʻohana.
Linda, mahalo nui loa for your many years of dedication, the knowledge you've shared, and the memories we've made together. While we will miss having you here at HOH, we are excited to see you at Ko'olau This is not goodbye, it's a hui hou (until we meet again)! Congratulations, Linda! Wishing you all the best in this exciting new journey! 🎉
