Aloha Members,
The Chamber's new building and Visitor Center is FINALLY nearing completion. There are a lot of small tasks to complete, but the major stuff will be completed by Monday. This is a MAJOR accomplishment for our community. It has been a goal of our town to have a visitor center for at least 25 years. Thank you ALL for your wonderful support in getting this project completed.
The June 18th Grand Opening celebration is in just three weeks. This will be great fun as well as an opportunity to thank all the donors and volunteers who made this happen. Also, every member helped make this happen through their on-going support which allowed us to have an office and paid staff which, in turn, allowed us to accomplish this project.
So.... please get those RSVP's in now so we're not overloaded at the last minute. With the move and everything, I'd really appreciate your help in this matter.
Secondly, we are moving the first week of June. On June 4th the office will be closed and telephone service will be switched over. We need a few guys with muscle to move the heavy items on Thursday. Please call 637-4558 and leave your name and number or email me back if you are able to help. Johnny Moore has volunteered. Who will help Johnny?
Mahalo nui,

Need People This Saturday 8-12 AM
Aloha Members,
I want to thank the following volunteers for making last Saturday such a successful workday: Lee Bryant, Bob & Trish Coder, Bob Leinau, Jon Marr, Joe Pavsek and Richard of Grafitti Busters, Kaiki Ragragola, Boyd Ready, Iopu & Nicole Sivatia and their two nephews, Nahe Webster, and Linda Yadao. We grassed the front of the building, cleaned up the white birds around the gym, and spread dirt to level the yard after building the new septic system. The grounds look great!!
I also want to thank our landlord, neighbor, and partner, the Waialua Community Association, and especially Nicole, their new Office Manager, for all their help in coordinating and getting volunteers to help make the workday successful.
We are in the home stretch on the building restoration, but we need to have one more morning workday to finish grassing the back of the building, planting more hedge plants, finish painting, scrape and wash windows, and move furniture for the flooring guys on Monday!
Please email or call me if you can help. I will be forever grateful if you can help even a couple of hours.

Updated North Shore Map Now Being Distributed!
It's colorful, appealing and informative. Visitors and residents regularly ask us for a map of our area. We have something to give them that not only helps them find their way, but it also tells them what activities are available and how to get to businesses advertising on the map. It helps visitors plan their trip to the North Shore, and brings more business to our area because visitors can plan better instead of just driving through not knowing what's available.
The map is distributed to the airport, major hotels, car rental agencies, local businesses, gas stations, the library and of course the Chamber's visitor center. The airport approved the map for distribution in the brochure racks as well as at the information counters as a map.
Thank you to Green Turtle Publications (Bob and JoJean Schieve) their great staff and you, our members for ongoing support of this important project.

Volunteer to Finish Painting and Landscaping
Aloha Members,
We will be having another painting workday this Saturday (8th) from 8am to 12noon. We are almost half done and the building is beginning to look really sharp. Lots of compliments on how it's shaping up. Please email me back if you can volunteer, even if it is a couple of hours. "Many hands make light work!" A big mahalo goes out to Matt Eagle (Aloha Surf Guide), Joe Lazar (Haleiwa Joe's), Johnny Moore (Grass Skirt Grill) for volunteering this past Saturday. We got a lot done.
The following Saturday, the 15th, we will be having a joint Chamber and Waialua Community Assoc. landscaping workday. We will be trimming the white birds, replanting the ground cover, fixing the borders, planting shrubs, weeding and cleaning up along the hibiscus hedge, etc. Work gloves, sun screen and covered shoes are recommended. Trucks that can make dump runs will be appreciated. A potluck will follow the workday.
We hope you will join us for some work and fellowship in making our community a better place to live and moving us closer to having a presence on main street with a visitor center.
