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.

Mahalo nui,
Antya

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.

Mahalo,
Antya

First Haleiwa Art Walk - Saturday, July 26th

The North Shore Chamber of Commerce is assisting with the start of a monthly event that we are calling "Haleiwa Art Walk" that will be held the last Saturday of every month. It is similar to "First Friday" events which are great events that many Main Streets across the country use to promote the arts in their towns. Patty Golden of Scoop of Paradise is the spark plug for getting the event started. The first event will be held Saturday the 26th from 6 to 9pm. We encourage the merchants to offer specials, sidewalk sales/events and demonstrations and stay open until 9:00 PM that night.

The purpose of this event is to bring shoppers to your business! We want North Shore and Oahu locals, as well as visitors, to enjoy discovering art in Haleiwa. Support our "Buy Local" campaign by buying from our North Shore merchants!

HOW MERCHANTS CAN PARTICIPATE:
. Dress your store up the last Saturday of each month! We hope that this event will grow to the point that there will be 100% participation in staying open until 9pm.
. Have a sidewalk sale and/or demonstrations/music the evening of the Art Walk. Merchants feel this is the best way to advertise the town.
. Advise customers to park in Haleiwa and walk the town. Parking is available at Haleiwa Shopping Plaza, North Shore Market Place and Waialua Community Association.
. Let us know if you want to participate in this monthly event by calling or emailing us.

For more information or to participate, call the Chamber at 637-4558 or contact Patty Golden at 637-2284.
