(President's Message)

We are in the throes of getting the 33rd annual Ho’olaule’a at Alondra Park off the ground and we are running indeed.  This year we are excited as the HICCSC has a mandate to build/acquire a community center in Southern California.   Our ho’olaule’a theme this year, “O ke kahua ma mua, ma hope ke kukulu” – “The foundation first and then the building” addresses that mandate and signifies the start of a major capital campaign spearheaded by the HICCSC in partnership with its 32 member organizations.  Once completed, the center will be called the Pacific American Community Cultural Center and will be located in Orange County; the site is yet to be determined.
 
To enhance the efficiency process of donor contributions, the HICCSC has contracted with the organization Electronic Fund Transfer (founded in 1978) to implement online donations directly into its bank account.  The repository for those donations is the Hawaiian Community Center Association, Inc., founded in 1989 and a member of the HICCSC since 1990.  Monies received will not be used for any purpose other than the Center.
 
Donations will be transferred conveniently each month from the donors’ checking account or credit card directly to the Hawaiian Community Center Association.  A custom email receipt will be delivered to the donor each time a donation is made and the donor will be able to track his/her donation by requesting a print out.  At the end of each year, an annual statement of donations will be sent to the donor for tax purposes.  The Hawaiian Community Center Association is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation in the State of California.
 
If you are interested in working on the Building Committee chaired by Mika’ele Brito, Secretary to the Board of Directors of the HICCSC, please come on board.  The Committee is in its business/strategic planning stage and is eager to welcome anyone with expertise in the field of marketing and development, fundraising, grant writing, architectural design and planning or just the eagerness to be of service to the community so come and join the workforce.  The effort is a five-year plan from start to finish and we need the support of everyone in our community to make this happen.
 
Again, we are excited as we look forward to the success of the Committee in moving this forward and in realizing this effort in 2016.  Your contribution will provide a reliable source of income to carry out our work.  Mahalo for your donation to the future.
 
If you need any more information, please leave us an email message and someone will respond.  On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Hawaiian Inter-club Council of Southern California mahalo for your continued support.

Me ke aloha pumehana a mau loa,

Sharon Ku’uipo Kana’e-Paulo
President
