Volunteers Needed!The Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise is partnering with RC of Hickam Pearl Harbor and the Hawaii Foodbank to prepare food boxes for kupuna with the their Senior Food Box Program, otherwise known as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). This program provides a monthly box of quality USDA food to low-income kūpuna. For participating kūpuna, CSFP provides more than just food and nourishment. It also helps to combat the poor health conditions often found in kūpuna who are at risk of hunger and experiencing food insecurity. CSFP helps vulnerable kūpuna from having to choose between food and other basic needs. The food provided in each Senior Food Box can play an important role in combatting the health consequences of senior hunger and, ultimately, can help kūpuna avoid costly hospitalizations and nursing home placements. Senior Food Boxes are specifically designed to supplement needed sources of nutrients typically lacking in participants’ diets. Boxes include foods such as cereal, juice, protein, milk, peanut butter, dry beans, potatoes, grains, rice, cheese, fruit, vegetables and more. More information about the program can be found on Hawaii Foodbank's website. |

NO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - ALL ARE WELCOME TO PICK UP A FREE PLANT OR TREE
What: 1000 Tree Giveaway When: Saturday, November 12, 2022 Where: 2234 Kamehameha Avenue (College Hill). Manoa.
Event: Join The Manoa Branch of the Outdoor Circle, Malama Manoa, and the Lyon Arboretum, to give away choices of dozens of plants and endemic trees. Arborists will be present to answer questions and give advice on the care and planting of trees.
Our urban forest is diminishing day by day! In Manoa, new construction abounds with tons of concrete for ohana additions, new homes, more parking space, and storage. We are taking a small step to increase the shade, diminish the glare, cool the increasing temperatures and make the island healthier. Studies consistently reveal that landscaping increases the value of a property and its desirability. Mature trees enhance a property’s appearance. Planting trees, grass and shrubs pay huge dividends. It can cut energy bills and reduce your water bill. Trees keep the ground cooler. One study has shown that the shade produced by trees can rid a home of heat that would have taken two air conditioners to cool. Air quality is improved. Trees help anchor soil to prevent erosion. Trees reduce runoff, saving the costs of drainage ditches and storms drains. Trees play an important role in deadening noise and absorbing unwanted sounds. Trees reduce smog. So, the importance of trees to our quality of life requires that we protect them, as we have in passing The Exceptional Tree Law in Hawaii. But we must be proactive and plant new trees and try to balance the destruction of so many mature trees that have grown for so many years. We all realize that trees are a critical component of numerous ecosystems and provide habitat for birds, small animal and flowers. This year, the varieties of trees and plants will include kukui nut, monkeypod, hau (variegated and non-variegated), koa, ulu, mountain apple, soapberry, plumeria, avocado, milo, dwarf hau, red and green ti, false wiliwili, anthuriums, croton, monstera, palms, papaya, and many others. Street parking should be ample. We hope everyone will spread the word and share this post through the community about this upcoming biennial event. Mark your calendars! Do something about the hot weather. You are sitting in the shade today because someone has planted a tree. Save our island. Save our planet. Please plant a tree! |

Hawaii Tourism’s Shift to the Oahu Destination Management Action Plan
Nov 21, 2022 7:15 AM
The O‘ahu Visitors Bureau (OVB) appointed Catherine Orlans as destination manager in September 2021 where she is responsible for the implementation and oversight of the O‘ahu Destination Management Action Plan (DMAP), as well as O‘ahu’s Community Enrichment Program (CEP). She lends extensive experience in the hospitality industry, sales, and marketing, as well as sustainability to the position.
The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority, in partnership with the City and County of Honolulu and OVB, developed the O‘ahu DMAP with a 23-member steering committee and input from O‘ahu residents through community presentations and an online feedback form. With the goal of rebuilding, redefining and resetting the direction of tourism over a three-year period, the DMAP identifies areas of need and actionable solutions for enhancing the residents’ quality of life as well as improving the visitor experience.
Catherine is in charge of facilitating, implementing, and managing the O‘ahu DMAP actions. Her role includes leading meetings and discussions with organizations and agencies involved in the DMAP, as well as engaging with the wider community on DMAP activities and updates.
Orlans holds a B.S. in travel industry management from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa with an emphasis in sustainable tourism and transportation management focusing on impacts to indigenous host cultures of destinations. Orlans, an O‘ahu native, is also an advocate for diversity and inclusion as a mother of a son with autism. |
