MAHALO! OUTREACH

At our last general membership meeting, club member Tomi Chong submitted a letter to the club asking for financial support of disadvantaged children who paddle for Anuenue Canoe Club. Apparently the children (about 10) who are from broken/foster homes or dysfunctional families cannot afford to pay the membership fee of $60.00 and they could use some financial help. If any of our club members are interested in donating any amount of money to their cause, please contact President Anita Naone at 261-2952 (h) or 438-2797 (w) for more information. This is an HCCH Outreach effort and any help would be greatly appreciated.
