Zonta Club of Hanalei hosts rummage sale
8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Feb. 28, Church of the Pacific in Princeville
Looking for something more than a used book or an old lamp someone puts out in their front yard for sale? Visit the Zonta Club of Hanalei’s Rummage Sale on Sat., Feb. 28th, 2009 where shoppers will find everything from quality “gently-used” clothing to functioning pre-owned appliances.
In an effort to raise funds, the members of the 1-year old Zonta Club of Hanalei will be hosting the event. As with many garage sales, the outstanding items are sure to go first so make sure you’re there right on time.
All proceeds from this event will help the Zonta Club of Hanalei raise operating funds so that the real work of community fundraising and scholarships can progress. Part of Zonta’s mission is to improve the legal, political, economic, educational & professional status of women. The organization works for the advancement of understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of executives in business and the professions.
• Anyone interested in learning more about the organization should contact President Robin Savage-Thompson at (808) 826 1396.
• The committee responsible for planning will be selective in the items it accepts for the sale; not just any item will suffice. If you have household items or clothing you’d like to donate to the event, please call Rosalie Gordon at 826-9573. Donations will be accepted until Feb. 27th at 5:00 p.m.
Malama Koke’e model project
March 5 to March 7, Camp Sloggett in Koke‘e
Volunteers are encouraged to participate in this project which includes beginning the establishment of a native plant botanical garden and several interpretive walking trails in an approximately one-acre area behind the Camp Sloggett Cottage and Bunkhouse, as well as manually clearing invasive plants and debris in and along the adjacent Koke‘e stream, which borders the Camp.
The weekend will culminate on Sunday with all-day live music, native and local crafts, t-shirts, huli-huli chicken and kulua pork plates, cultural demonstrations and workshops, inflatable bouncers for the kids, a silent auction, and a community information and outreach tent, in recognition of community participation, involvement, sustainability and Hawaiian culture.
• Lodging at the Camp is being provided free to all volunteers for the weekend on a first-come first-bed basis.
• A release said the hope is this will be the beginning of a new era of community participation in Koke‘e; mutually-beneficial partnerships between numerous public and private organizations; heightened awareness of self-sustainability issues; heightened sensitivity and interest in Hawaiian cultural activities; an increase in environmental education for locals and tourists alike; and a revival in ‘Malama ‘Aina’ and ‘Malama Koke‘e’ projects.
• For more information, contact Erik Coopersmith, site manager/caretaker for Camp Sloggett, at 335-0710 or erik@islandunderground.net
