YEAR ROUND EVENTS


President’s Message

Carol Romig

Aloha !
Hoomaluhia in July was a great kick-off event to start the new fiscal year. Thanks to all who helped and participated in this event. Special thanks to Maria Brasher who cheerfully (and always) volunteered to sponsor this event and to Barbara Mateo- Kihano who did the officers installation ceremony. Great job to you both! Thanks also to Mark Brown and Terry Puuohau who previously filled the president and treasurer positions and kept the Club on track for many years.

Three traditional walks were held in August, September and October: Wahiawa, Upper Manoa/Lyon Arboretum and Discover Moiliili. These walks were wonderful ones to explore the older neighborhoods and find local good eats. Thanks to Lan and Marsha for organizing these walks and to Bob and Wanda Wright for helping at the Wahiawa walk.

Following the Mililani Hui Hele in August, the Club held its quarterly business meeting. The Club finalized the walks for the next 12 months and voted to continue to offer the year-round events at a reduced rate of $2.00 for Club members. The standard rate is $3.00.

The Club has many volunteers that help in various capacities. As a result, the Club is able to sponsor 11 year-round events and also sponsor traditional walks throughout the year. Check out the Club’s website for our current events at
