Aloha Hui,

We will be doing some service hours at the Hawaiian Cultural Center on Saturday to get ready for “Ohana Day” at the center. We will put up some tents and set up the center. We need to set up around 12 Noon because the activities start at 3:00 PM. If the time changes, we will let you know. The Hui will be making “Shave Ice” and we should all share the duties. All the service hours will go towards your 2010 membership requirements and help keep the membership dues low.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE HUI'S SHAVE ICE!!!

Aloha Hui Members!

The 2010 Hui Paoakalani Membership and Hui Waiver Forms are NOW available! Please click on the link located in the "HUI PAOAKALANI FORMS" section of the blog.

The Hui Board approved Discounting Membership Fees for 2010. This will be a substantial discount over our 2009 membership fees, and will include a MANDATORY 40 hours of service time. If you DO NOT participate in the service time (which can be done by helping to setup/cleanup the wa'a and equipment at weekly paddles, helping with wa'a maintenance, helping with Hui "Shack" maintenance, helping at fundraisers and/or other Hui related events, etc.) you will have to pay an additional $150.00.

Your Hui Membership will NOT include the USACK Individual Insurance that was provided last season. Individuals wishing to compete in various canoe races, will need to obtain this insurance on their own.

We are almost done painting the wa'a, and they will be ready to be put back into the water soon!

As a REMINDER-ALL Paddlers MUST complete and sign the Hui Paoakalani Waiver Form BEFORE paddling with Hui Paoakalani.

You may bring your Completed Membership Form, and your Completed and Signed Waiver Form along with your payment on your first day day of paddling this season.
