North Shore January 2008 Meeting

Aloha Members and Friends,
Please see below the announcement for the upcoming meeting:

Chamber Meeting to Address Disaster Preparedness

The North Shore Chamber of Commerce will hold its quarterly General Membership meeting on Thursday January 31st at Haleiwa Joe's at 8:00AM.

The keynote speaker will be Dr. Leon Watson, consultant for Disaster Preparedness Planning. He will describe what the North Shore Hoomakaukau Emergency Preparedness grant will do, how you can begin to prepare yourself and family, and how you can become involved in this community project. This community-based effort to prepare the North Shore for disasters such as tsunami and hurricanes will hopefully become a blueprint for other communities in Hawaii. Dave Curtis and Ray Lovell from the State Civil Defense will also be speaking regarding their role in the process and how they will be working with our community on this project.

Also on the agenda will be a brief business meeting for the Chamber, an update by our elected officials, and how you can help Haleiwa become "green" presented by the Kokua Foundation.

Everyone is welcome to participate. A continental breakfast will be served: $5.00 for members and $10 for non-members. Please call the Chamber at 637-4558 for more information.

Hope to see you all there! This is a very important issue for all of us.

Aloha,
Antya
