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

Please put up lights for November 29th Haleiwa Art Walk!
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

Save the Date for the Christmas Party
Aloha Members and Friends,
Please save the date on December 4th for the Annual Christmas Party and Auction. This year we are honoring Gary Anderson, Joan Gossett and the Haleiwa Arts Festival for their contribution to the North Shore . The Arts Festival is now the premier arts festival in the islands and highlights Haleiwa as an art center in the state. These two individuals and the Festival organization have made a lasting contribution to our North Shore community through the event itself and the financial support they have provided to the schools.
Please also start thinking about what you will be able to donate to the Auction this year. As you know, this is the Chamber’s main fundraiser of the year and we couldn’t continue to operate without your support of this very important event. Volunteers will soon be approaching you for donations.
Mahalo and see you Thursday!

Big waves rolling in for Oahu's already busy North Shore
From his lifeguard tower at Waimea Bay, Kerry Atwood looked out over an ocean that was as calm as a bathtub this week but will begin pounding the North Shore as early as this afternoon with the first big waves of the winter — drawing even more crowds to an area that has stayed busy despite a sluggish economy.

Development, housing key issues in District 46
Experienced foes pose big primary challenge for incumbent Magaoay
The race for House District 46 (Kahuku, North Shore, Schofield) is a five-candidate contest that could ultimately end up pitting two longtime political foes against each other for a fourth time: incumbent Democrat Michael Magaoay and his perennial Republican opponent, Carol Philips.
But before Philips or Magaoay can square off against each other in the Nov. 4 general election, they must first overcome what could be formidable opposition in their own party primaries.

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.

North Shore restaurants featured in Honolulu Weekly
The annual Honolulu Food & Drink edition of the Honolulu Weekly newspaper features many on the North Shore for their excellence. The June 4, 2008 edition picks some of the favorites of Honolulu restaurants, bars, wagons, food, farms, drinks and markets as a "mele of taste."
Here's some of the North Shore businesses featured:
Romy's Kahuku Prawns & Shrimp, Inc.
The little truck that could. The Aguinaldo family is proving that vision, hard work and family support can manifest in a thriving aquaculture business.
El Palenque
Buen sabor. Serving handmade foods, Armida Duarte's family creates feisty and faithful Mexican dishes at El Palenque.
Turtle Bay Resort
Kua 'aina breakfast. Going North Shore is all about getting outdoors, swimming in the misty rain, hiking in the hills. The Palm Terrace at Turtle Bay offers the fresh fruits you love and some you've never seen before.
Kahuku Superette
No limit poke. "Kahuku Superette 'ahi poke bowl... to die for," says Mark Cunningham, resident of nearby Kawela Bay and member of Defend Oahu Coalition.
Kahuku Corn Stand
Stand no deliver. Drive north along Kamehameha Highway 2.2 miles past Sunset Beach and you'll see the Kahuku Corn Stand on the mauka side of the road.

Governor signs bill to acquire Turtle Bay
With North Shore business and environmental leaders looking on in approval, Gov. Linda Lingle last night signed a bill into law authorizing the state to acquire the Turtle Bay Resort and keep some of the undeveloped land in preservation.

The bill signing at a North Shore Chamber of Commerce banquet in Waimea Valley was a ceremonial yet important moment for an idea that began as a surprise in the governor's State of the State speech in January.

Reserve the Date! Governor Lingle Confirmed for Installation Dinner on June 4th!
Aloha Members,
We've just confirmed that Governor Lingle will attend our annual Installation Dinner Wednesday, June 4th 2008. The theme will be “A Sustainable Future for the North Shore .” One hears the word “sustainable” all the time now, but what would a sustainable future look like? A 21st century economy and jobs, “Being Green” and “Buying Locally” with food grown on the North Shore would all be a part of that future.
The children of today will determine what happens tomorrow. Well-educated, innovative young people will be needed to make a sustainable future happen….young people like the Kahuku High and Intermediate School ’s “We the People” team that just took the state championship and represented Hawaii at the national competition in Washington D.C. This team has been state champions 14 out of 15 years and will be honored at the dinner.
This event is a time when you can see old friends, make new ones, network and have a great time. Please join us.

Where: Waimea Valley Pikake Pavilion
Who: The Honorable Governor Linda Lingle will be the keynote speaker and the Kahuku High and Intermediate School's “We the People Team” will be honored. The new Board of Directors will be installed: Marianne Abrigo, Bob Boyle, Karen Campbell, Ed D’Ascoli, Jane Duncan, Kalani Fronda, Norman Fujioka, Josh Heimowitz, Susan Lau, Mike Lyons, Susan Matsushima, Michael Moon, Johnny Moore, Chet Naylor, and Paul Saccoccio.
