A community storytelling event in Windward Oahu is raising money for local education partnerships, and organizers need volunteer storytellers to fill the stage.

• The event runs Saturday, October 24 at Windward Mall, from morning to mid-afternoon.
• It is the second year the fishpond restoration group Paepae has teamed up with a local partner to put it on.
• Money raised goes to a nonprofit that connects Hawaiian-focused community groups with schools and teachers.
• Anyone can sign up to tell a 5-to-7 minute story about Hawaii Island, the year's theme, with spooky Halloween tales welcome.
• Fundraising on the day includes greeting card kits and live block printing, where people bring their own light-colored shirt or tea towel.

Outlook: Organizers are still taking storyteller sign-ups by email in the weeks before the event.
