Miss Island Mokihana
Entry deadline today
Pageant Oct. 10
Miss Island Mokihana Scholarship Organization will host the first ever Miss Island Mokihana Scholarship Pageant. The organization is looking for young ladies who currently live on Kaua‘i and either attend school (high school senior or college) or working on a full-time basis. Interested contestants must be at least 17 years-old (as of October 10, 2009) and no older than 24 on December 31, 2010. A complete list of requirements will be made available at time of inquiry. The main reason for this program is to offer tuition scholarship assistance to the women who participate.
In these tough economic times these young women are electing to go directly into the workforce and not seek their dreams of higher education. This pageant will give these women the opportunity to attain tuition scholarship assistance. The Miss Island Mokihana Scholarship Pageant will be held October 10, 2009 at the Historic Waimea Theater. The Miss Island Mokihana Scholarship Pageant serves as a preliminary pageant to Miss Hawai‘i which will be held on O‘ahu June 2010. For more information on becoming a sponsor or contestant contact Avery Kano – General Chairman at info@missislandmokihana.org or call him, 639.1301.

Host families sought
2009-10 school year
Island wide
STS Foundation is still looking for host families for the upcoming school year. International high school exchange students are coming to study on Kaua‘i. These students will integrate into a Kaua‘i family with the goal of experiencing American culture as an American high school student. In turn they will provide insight into their own culture.
The host family provides a separate bed, family meals and a safe environment.
Two students STS is looking for host families in the area for this year are Roberto and Lorena. Roberto is an 18 year-old boy from Caracas, Venezuela. He loves playing baseball and is fond of many other sports. He speaks Spanish, Italian and English. Lorena is a 15 year-old girl from Burgthann, Germany who loves playing tennis. She also enjoys playing basketball and volleyball as well as watching many other sports. Other hobbies include playing guitar and cooking. She is fond of writing and would like to be a journalist. They are both excellent students and will have their own spending money and health insurance.
If your family is interested in being a host family call Lillian, 1-800-522-4678 or e-mail, lillian@stsfoundation.org. For more information visit stsfoundation.org. STS Foundation, a non profit student exchange organization has been doing this for 20 years.
