Aloha Members and Friends,
Christmas Party:
The deadline to get your payments and guest lists in has been extended to this coming Saturday the 29th at the end of the day. Our final head count is due first thing Monday. There are still tables and individual places available to honor Gary Anderson, Joan Gossett and the Haleiwa Arts Festival as well as others who have made a difference in our community.
As most of you know, there was a rock slide in Waimea Valley Park that shut the park down. So, Turtle Bay has graciously agreed to have the party there and they have been extremely accommodating to us in the process! We’re very excited about having it there. The one change is that there will be $3.00 charged for validated parking. Please spread the word to all your guests if you bought a corporate table. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we had no control over this.
Auction Donations:
We have all kinds of great items that will make wonderful Christmas presents donated already. Special items include: Turtle Bay packages, a Giclee by Gonzalez from Tabora Gallery Outrigger, a signed 2006 Kokua Festival framed (Koa) poster by Ilona Hemperly, Koa framed Wyland posters, a custom Mike Casey Strong Current surfboard (raffle), and a place next to Santa in the Haleiwa Town Parade. However, we still need more items and would love to have a donation from you.
Thank you again for all your support and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Aloha,
Antya Miller and
Bob Boyle, Christmas Party Chair

Aloha All,
Christmas is just around the corner and we’re busy getting ready for it with our Christmas Party and the Haleiwa Town Parade. We hope that you will work with us to make the town look really festive and drive those customers into your store.
Mahalo for your support and keeping the Aloha and Christmas spirit alive in our town. I’m optimistic that we will have a really good Christmas season!

The North Shore Chamber of Commerce’s annual “Christmas in Historic Haleiwa” event is on Friday, December 12th. It will consist of the Christmas parade starting at 6 PM, Photos with Santa at the North Shore Marketplace from 4:30 to 5:30 PM and after the parade until 8 PM. The parade will include at least 40 units. We also encourage the merchants to offer specials, sidewalk sales/events and demonstrations and stay open until 9:00 PM especially that night.
The purpose of this event is to bring shoppers to your business! We want to encourage locals to shop here while inviting the rest of the island to enjoy doing their Christmas shopping in Haleiwa also. Support our “Buy Local” campaign by buying your Christmas gifts from neighbor North Shore merchants and save on your carbon footprint too! If we all support one another during this economic slump, we will make it through with flying colors.
HOW MERCHANTS CAN PARTICIPATE:
• Dress your store up in lights by November 29th for the Haleiwa Art Walk right after Thanksgiving. The lighting is getting better and better every year. The town really looks so festive every year! We still strive for 100% participation and there will be prizes again. If the whole town is lit up, people will come out to see it and bring business with them. We will be listed in the Honolulu Advertiser’s Drive Guide for Christmas Lights list again this year.
• Have extended holiday store hours. We would like to see the stores stay open until 9 PM the night of the 29th and the last two weeks before Christmas from December 10th to the 24th. If we want to encourage locals to shop at our stores, we need to stay open at least an hour or two after they get back from work from Honolulu, which is often not until 6 PM when our stores are closing.
• Be a donor. We need monetary donations of any size to help defray the costs of insurance, printing, and candy for Santa to give out, etc. We also need prizes for the lighting contest. Donations to the Chamber are completely tax deductible and are much needed to support our many efforts. Make your check out to the “NSCOC” and mail to the above address.
• Have a sidewalk sale and/or demonstrations/events the day of the event. This was chosen by the merchants as the best way to advertise the town. If you plan to have an in-store special or event, please let us know about it so that we may include it in our press releases. Send us your information by email or fax by November 30th.
• Advise customers to arrive and park in Haleiwa by 5:30 pm and that the parade will be over around 7:00 pm to avoid not being able to get to or from your place of business due to the street closure for the parade.
For more information or to participate, call the Chamber at 637-4558 or contact the following coordinators:
Parade: Antya Miller 342-8557
Town Lighting & Contest: Layne Larson 637-1780
