Haleiwa Art Walk Tonight 5-9 PM

Aloha Members,

Remember to come to Haleiwa and visit the participating businesses for the Haleiwa Art Walk tonight from 5 to 9 PM.  Of special interest is the Grand Opening of the Clark Little Gallery in the Haleiwa Town Center.

Clark is the son of long-time residents Jim and Doric Little.  Jim is known for his work in developing beautiful varieties of plumeria about which he wrote a book that included his photography of those plumeria.  Clark seems to have inherited his dad's artistic gift with photogaphy.

It is heartening to see the younger generation of kids who were born and raised here starting their own family-owned businesses including Clark, Liz and Kai at Guava Shop, Noelle and Meg at Bonzer Front, and of course some who have taken over family businesses like Stan Matsumoto and Cathy Aoki, to name a few.  Small business is the life-blood of our special Haleiwa Town and keeping the entreneurial spirit alive is what keeps the town special and unique. 

Please visit the art galleries and other businesses this evening.  See attached flyer.

Mahalo,
Antya

Membership Meeting

Aloha Members,

There will be a membership meeting next Wednesday the 23rd at Haleiwa Joe's 8AM.  The key note speakers will be Randy Rarick and Jodi Wilmott from the Vans Triple Crown. Randy has some amazing stats from the coverage of the Triple Crown that will probably surprise everyone.  Jodi will  have informa-tion about promoting the North Shore.

There will also be reports from our legislators, the police, and the North Shore Triathalon.

I will get an agenda out in the next couple of days.  I've also attached the list of Chamber meetings and  events again.  Please put the membership meetings and main events on your calendars now.

Mahalo,
Antya

North Shore project praised

A retail complex near shave ice landmarks draws much attention

North Shore residents taking in Kamehameha Schools' new plans for their community gave it mostly high marks yesterday at a community meeting.

Kamehameha's North Shore Plan covers the 26,000-acre, mauka-to-makai swath between Waimea and the eastern outskirts of Haleiwa.

The plan includes seven key projects, but much of the buzz yesterday was about redevelopment of the 4 acres surrounding the historic Matsumoto and Aoki shave ice stores in the center of town.
