How OKN was born

My photo
O'Hana Kids' News was started by Josh & Heather Ackman, when they were looking for events & activities for their son, Zephaniah, to participate in. Zephaniah, is in a wheelchair, due to his terminal condition of Menkes Syndrome. O'Hana Kids' News was founded in June 2010, when the Ackmans realized that many families were looking for the same information for their children.

Make A Wish Fundraiser through TOMORROW

Hey everyone!!  I just wanted to let you know that the Applebees inside the Gateway mall in Lincoln, is doing a Silent Auction to get rid of all their wall decor.  It's all really cool movie posters, artifacts, etc.  Anyway, it lasts through tomorrow.  The best part is, that all the money raised will go to Make A Wish, that is AWESOME!!!  If you go, tell them where you saw it.

Can't believe it's May 20!!

Well, it seems as though time is really flying right on by.  Our June edition that comes out next week, will be our 1st Birthday!!  It hardly seems possible that we have been around a year already.  We started with less than 6 pages, and we are right around 20!!  That is ALOT of information for everyone!!  Whew!! Well I better get back to "work" if OKN is going to get out by Monday.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

BioMedical Support Group Not Meeting in May

Hi there,
It just came to my attention that the ASD Biomedical Support Group will NOT be meeting in May.  I left it up in the spot at May 19, in May's events, so that you could find the information about it and contact information.  However it will NOT meet in May.  Thanks.

May Events are Up!! Along with Summer Upcoming & Resources

Ok, so I am a few days late getting this done.  However, the May events are UP, and the upcoming summer events and the resource page.  Keep checking back, because I still have the classifieds, the Useful Tidbit page (to come) and my advertisers page to get done.  Let me know if there is anything you ever have to add, or any comments as I am always open to suggestion.  Thanks a ton!!!
