Community Advisory Board Meeting Aug. 12, 2009

Aloha Kakou, The CAB is down to nine members. Our next meeting will be on Wed., August 12, 2009, at 6pm in the Craft Room at the Kapa`a Neighborhood Center. I had to change the meeting date twice due to conflicts, and the unavailability of meeting rooms. Perhaps, someone of us will offer their hale for the next mtg?
In the mean time, please try to recruit folks for the one available Board of Directors position to be elected by the membership, and more community members for the CAB.




There will be a potluck BBQ on Sunday, July 19 from 3 to 5 at KKCR. We'll all help replace the tarp over the outside lounge area, which shouldn't take long. Then, we'll eat and hang with each other. It will be a great opportunity to communicate with the staff, the Board, Volunteers, CAB members and Friends in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Please come if you can.



See you at the meetings. Many Blessings and Aloha to you, fred
