I have been a member of the Ali`i Pauahi Hawaiian Civic Club for thirty years and one of eight Board members for the past three. It is an honor to be involved with a group of people who are so deeply committed to bettering the lives and culture of the native Hawaiian people. Mahi`ai `Ihi, the club's award-winning native plant farm, is just one example of the way in which it serves the community, by returning Hawaiians to the land in a way that is culturally, spiritually and economically beneficial for all. I highly welcome your support of this award-winning club.
