Windward Mall Invites Nonprofits to Participate
in its Annual Festival of Giving
Windward Mall will take applications for the annual
shopping benefit event through August 14

KANEOHE, HI – Windward Mall invites local nonprofit organizations and schools to take part in its fifth annual Festival of Giving, an exclusive shopping event to be held November 14 - 15. Windward Mall’s Festival of Giving creates an opportunity for nonprofit organizations to sell $5 shopping passes and keep 100 percent of the ticket sale proceeds. This year’s Festival of Giving will be held on Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, November 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Shoppers who purchase Festival of Giving tickets are eligible to receive special benefits just for ticket-holders, including store discounts, gifts-with-purchase, food samples, door prizes, entertainment and much more! “Festival of Giving is just one of the ways that Windward Mall aims to support the important work of local nonprofit organizations throughout the year,” said Jonathan Kim, general manager of Windward Mall. “This event is a great win-win situation for everyone – shoppers enjoy great discounts and nonprofits are able to raise funds for their organizations.” Last year, Windward Mall’s Festival of Giving raised an estimated $20,435 for more than 40 participating nonprofits including Pali Lions Club, Hawai‘i Family Law Clinic, Ahuimanu Elementary School, Windward Special Olympics, Hale Kipa, Abilities Unlimited and Waimānalo Health Center. Windward Mall is currently accepting applications from organizations with an IRS 501-C-3 status – public and private schools are also eligible – starting today, through Friday, August 14. Tickets will be distributed at the end of September and organizations are able to sell as many tickets as they wish. Nonprofit organizations that are interested in participating in this year’s Festival of Giving at Windward Mall may call 808-235-1143 x20 to receive an information packet with event details and a participation form.

Located at the corner of Kamehameha Highway and Haiku Road in Kaneohe, Windward Mall offers shoppers from the Windward side and beyond a mix of national and local retailers with an emphasis on a family friendly atmosphere. Anchored by Macy’s and Sears, the mall has a 10-screen stadium-seating theater, a 22,000 square-foot Borders, Oahu’s only children’s soft-play area, plus more than 100 stores and eateries. More information is available at www.windwardmall.com. Windward Mall is managed by General Growth Properties, Inc. The Company currently has ownership interest in, or management responsibility for, over 200 regional shopping malls in 44 states, as well as ownership in master planned community developments and commercial office buildings. The Company’s portfolio totals approximately 200 million square feet of retail space and includes over 24,000 retail stores nationwide. GGP’s common stock is trading in the pink sheets under the symbol GGWPQ. For more information, visit www.ggp.com. Windward Mall is owned by Kamehameha Schools. Kamehameha Schools is a private, educational, charitable trust founded and endowed by the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Kamehameha Schools operates a statewide educational system enrolling more than 6,700 students of Hawaiian ancestry at K-12 campuses on O‘ahu, Maui and Hawaii and at 31 preschool sites statewide. Thousands of additional Hawaiian learners are also being served through a range of other Kamehameha Schools outreach programs, community collaborations and financial aid opportunities in Hawai‘i and across the continental United States.

Hui Makua Meeting
September 24th, 2009
5:30-7:30pm

Turn out was great!!! Most attendance in the history of Hui Makua.
Meeting started promptly at 5:30 with a pule and dinner.
Kids were dismissed and meeting was called to order at 6pm

Introductions: Bryan introduced Hui Makua Board members, Uo Mamo Makua Reps., and the structure of the organizations that run the kula:

Hui Makua Board: Bryan Naff – Pres.
Crissy Burke – Vice Pres.
Michele Wilhelm – Secretary
Vivian Filiaga – Treasurer

Uo Mamo Reps: Kehau Glasco – President
Malia Desoto – Makua Rep.
Leina`ala Medeiros – Makua Rep.
Tom Burke – treasurer
TJ Joseph – Makua Rep.

KaBOOM: Non-profit organization helping Kamakau to fundraise for playground at Haiku. Michele gave a brief introduction.

Hai`ku: Kumu Lani gave an update on our move. Because of a delay in a USDA loan our expected move has now been pushed back to summer. Hana Makua days will continue. Oct. 17th is the next scheduled Hana Makua up at Hai`ku.

Hui Makua Website: Bryan has set up a website for all makua to access. He gave a brief overview and tour of the site showing how easy it is for makua to interact and keep themselves informed on everything happening at the school. It is linked with the school website and updated by the kumu to let the makua know of upcoming events. It is also a great forum for discussion. Makua will have the chance to ask their questions and an attempt will be made to get them answered in a timely manner.

Questions: There was a brief time of Q & A. Questions and answers will be posted online. Many questions came up about Kai Loa and the handling of funds received from different fundraisers. It was suggested that a protocol for fundraising be established.

Committees: Each committee was briefly introduced, the passports explained, and people were released to go visit each of the tables.

Kumu Appreciation

Each person was to get their passports stamped, sign up for one committee and then enter their passports in a box for the raffle drawings. One classroom will win a laptop computer based on the most attendance. Also one family will randomly be drawn to win a dinner. Winners will be posted on the Hui Makua website. The response was great. There were many sign ups for the different committees. First meeting scheduled for all committees is October 15th, 6:30pm. Location TBA.

Mission
To design, plan and implement a playground at Haiku for the new kula. We have an unique opportunity to design a custom play area for our keiki - hopefully something more meaningful than the basic City and County style playgrounds seen all over Oahu. Using a website called Kaboom, we can share info with many other individuals who have tackled this exact and daunting task! Let's get ready to PLAY!!!!!

Budget
We have already fundraised a bit - Whole Foods gave us a 5% day and that money has been earmarked for the Playground. I will post the amount when I know it exactly.

Update
working with Kaboom - sent in a photo for the proposed site for the playground up at Haiku
