Volunteers Needed for '72 Scholarship

Aloha mai kakou,

It’s time to screen and select our Class of 1972 scholarship recipients!

We’re looking for 3-4 class members to participate in our scholarship selection process and an evaluation meeting to be held on Saturday, May 21, 2011.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Read and understand KAPF scholarship guidelines.
  • Independently read and rank scholarship applications the week before evaluation meeting. (Estimated 5-hour commitment)
  • Attend evaluation meeting Saturday, May 21 at 9 a.m. in Manoa.
  • Work together to identify finalists. (Estimated 3-hour commitment)
  • Committee members should not be related to any of the scholarship applicants.

Our Class of 1972 Scholarship is funded through an endowment held and managed by Kamehameha’s Ke Ali’i Pauahi Foundation. The scholarship serves to:

v Assist KS '72 graduates pursuing undergraduate, graduate or doctoral degrees (First priority)

v Assist children and grandchildren of KS '72 graduates with a minimum GPA of 2.8 to earn an undergraduate or graduate degree (2nd Priority)

v Assist individuals whose lives have been impacted and maybe traumatized by challenging circumstances but who have the potential to be successfully enriched by an educational opportunity (3rd Priority)

Previous Class of 1972 scholarship recipients include Lihau Fujimori Godden, Cean Oliveira, Courtney Valdez, Beau Pickering, Cere Olivera and Kiana Ishibashi.

If you would like to participate on this year’s scholarship selection committee, please contact Debbie Lau Okamura at bdokamura@hawaiiantel.net,808.265.5511 (c).

Mahalo,

KS '72 Class Representatives

The owner of IMUA Lounge had an event last year called IMUA IDOL. The event was planed and run by HULAWOOD Productions. The owner of HULAWOOD Productions told the owner of IMUA lounge that if you make money then I will charge you for the event. IMUA lounge made over $20,000 for the event and when it came time to pay HULAWOOD Productions the owners have failed to pay anything but the cost of supplies for printing and paper. This is now a year later and they have still not paid. Then to top it all off IMUA Lounge is now advertising that they are having IMUA Idol for 2011. This is a company who didn't pay their bill for 2010 and now is stealing they idea from the creator HULAWOOD Productions. I just want everyone to know what kind of a owner of IMUA Lounge is.
