Board of Directors Recognition Award
The Board of Directors Recognition Award was established to honor the extraordinary contributions of individuals to Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center.
The 2018 award was presented to Earl and Sandra Stoner!
Hui No’eau has been a big part of Sandra Stoner’s life since she and Earl arrived on Maui over 40 years ago.
“The Hui seems to attract special ‘angels’ and Sandi happens to be one of them,” shares Honey Bun Haynes. “Her unfaltering dedication to the Hui has been going on since the mid 70’s. She has very creative ideas and the wonderful capability of recruiting and encouraging people to help produce wonderful events for the Hui. We are also very fortunate to have the generous support of Earl, who was very helpful in resolving permitting issues during our formative years. Sandi and Earl are very good ambassadors of the Hui and Jimmy and I are so lucky to have them as dear friends.”
When asked about winning this award, Sandi shared: “I am honored by this award and am so glad that you have included Earl who has supported me in supporting the Hui all these years.”
It is with great honor and our deepest gratitude that we present Earl and Sandi with the 2018 Hui Board of Directors Recognition Award. Mahalo nui loa!

Hui No‘eau Angel Award
Hui No‘eau’s Angel Award was established to recognize outstanding artistic talent and exceptional volunteer leadership contributing to the advancement of the arts in our Maui community.
Hui No‘eau was thrilled to present the 2018 award to Larry Tonogan!
When Larry Tonogan moved to Maui four years ago after retirement, he knew he wanted to volunteer his time in his new community. With experience in renovating old Victorian and craftsmen homes in California, Larry dove right in to his generous volunteer work at the Hui. Since his first visit, Larry can be found working in the garden beds for hours pruning, trimming, shaping, and sprucing up the Hui’s landscaping. Larry’s fine eye can be seen in the neatly trimmed bougainvillea at the front of the house and in the spider lilies lining the entry driveway.
A few months into his volunteer work, Larry humbly shared his passion and knowledge of ikebana flower arranging, so the Hui excitedly began offering Ikebana classes in the Fall of 2016. When programs staff discussed a teaching artist fee for Larry, he declined, saying that he would love to donate his time if the Hui could just pay for the supplies. Larry designed and created the beautiful ikebana flower arrangements that you will see on the evening of Art Affair!
Hui No’eau is excited to recognize Larry’s humble spirit, hard work, and volunteerism with this year’s Angel Award. We thank you, Larry, for your commitment to Hui No’eau’s 100-year-old Kaluanui estate. Mahalo nui loa!
