OUR BIGGEST PROJECT ON TV:
VIDEOS ON OUR BIGGEST PROJECT When the late videographer Kenny Hulquist who had taped hundreds of hours of Lahaina happenings accepted our invitation to film the Lahaina LIbrary Grand opening, no one knew it would be one of his last gigs. Kenny passed away a few weeks after he put this video up on You Tube. There we also find a Honolulu TV report. Go to these sites to see learn about the grand day.
CLUB CELEBRATES COMPLETION OF BIGGEST PROJECT IN ITS HISTORY: $300,000 Remodeling of Lahaina Public Library
Some 300 members of the community turned out in late 2012 to celebrate the Lahaina Rotary Club’s amazing rennovation of the Lahaina Public Library. Rotarians were instrumental in securing $155,000 worth of free contracting services, recruiting 21 contractors and service providers and 60 community volunteers to empty the library of $35,000 books. Rotarians put in more than 1600 hours on the project. Hawaii State Library head Richard Burns called the initiaitive amazing and unprecedented.
