We hope everyone had a great of time at the fishpond! It was a very well organized event. Unfortunately most of us had trouble finding the location and all ended up at Kaneohe beach park, where we asked for instructions from a local guy sitting in his car. It was definitely a bad area but we made it safely out! Continuing on, we left in a giant line of cars…

HIC took part in Movember for the second year in a row and we raised $325!
Thanks to Russell, Ben, Patrick, Sean, Jordon and Gordon for taking part.
For the month of November, HIC is going to be doing a coin drive… with a purpose. Something tangible we can move towards so we know where the coins we are donating are going. We also wanted to restrict it to a charity in Hawaii so we can do the most good in our own backyard. The result… a coin drive for the SPCA – Society for the Prevention of…

Thanks to Rosie, Ben, and his wife Erica who showed up to join in on the restoration fun. Upon arriving at 9am, it was pouring rain with no end in sight. The group of volunteers were told that it was likely we may not go in if the rain didn’t let up as a) it can be very chilly working while wet and b) it’s hard to do certain restoration…
