Tiaya Ruggirello, left, and Skye Posey sip pop at Sunday's annual Aloha Birthday Party at the Fireweed Restaurant. The pair, along with Xi Xiao White, Elena Saunders and Dominic Stossel sold raffle tickets at the party to pay for a planned trip to India in August. The Young Eagle Scientists of the Takshanuk Watershed Council plan to present eagle research they've conducted at a science symposium. The Aloha Party, featuring Hawaiian treats and toys, has been hosted by Norman Hughes as a fundraiser for local causes for about 15 years.
