Maui Red Cross Names Volunteer Of The Year

Congratulations to Merry Tamashiro who was named Maui Red Cross Volunteer Of The Year. Merry is usually the first on the scene and is a disaster team leader. Her willingness to help others, manage a team, organize and disperse supplies, and be ready even before disaster strikes is an inspiration. Her dedication makes her a well deserving recipient of the award! Merry will be honored on March 24th at the Maui Heroes Luncheon.

The Red Cross has an estimated 140 volunteers but could always use more hands. Most of the requirements necessary to become a volunteer are able to be completed online.

Congratulations again and warmest mahalo to Merry and to all volunteers willing to help others!

Affordable Housing Project Gets The Go Ahead

Council members voted in favor of 250 affordable housing units to be built within a 670 acre planned community to be located south of Maui Meadows. Moving from the original site in north Kihei should help Honua’ula Partners, the potential builders, to get the project started more quickly than originally anticipated.

Before any of the planned housing building can begin, Honua’ula Partners has a $30 million dollar project to complete first. The widening of Piilani Highway from Kilohana Drive to Wailea Ike Drive. Of the projected 250 affordable housing units, 125 will be ownership units and the remaining 125 will be rental.
