The 'Ahahui 'o Lili'uokalani Hawaiian Civic Club was named after the last monarch and only queen regnant of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Lydia Kamaka'eha Kaola Mali'i Lili'uokalani (2 September 1838 - 11 November 1917).
The 'Ahahui was the second Hawaiian Civic Club formed on the Mainland. There are now thirteen Hawaiian Civic Clubs on the Mainland, in the states of California, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Virginia, Washington, Tennessee, and Texas. The thirteen Clubs form what is now called the Mainland Council Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. The 'Ahahui, along with it's other Mainland Clubs, pursue to maintain an active interest in the Hawaiian language, customs, mele (song), and crafts, and strives to preserve the customs and culture of the Hawaiian people. The 'Ahahui participates in many community activities, throughout the year, to support and promote charitable, educational, and cultural pursuits beneficial to our community.
