Owners' Meeting and Fundraiser information

Aloha Kiahuna Homeowners!

We are just a month away from completing our 1st Annual November Fundraiser 2014.  I am happy to report that a few homeowners have already sent in their very generous donations and we have reached almost $1000!!  Our goal is $3000 so we are one-third of the way there!!  Marianne is holding their checks for me until I arrive on the Island (like Hurricane Marie!) and start personally asking for donations.  Of course, all that have donated are “safe” from me until next time.

For those who want to know what we are fundraising for, it is for the historic site down the road from Kiahuna Plantation called “Kahua O Kāneiolouma.” It contains remnants of an ancient Hawaiian village at Poʻipū. The complex, presently under the jurisdiction of the County of Kauaʻi contains numerous habitation, cultivation, sporting or assembly, and religious structures dating to at least the mid‐1400’s. Members of the Native Hawaiian group Hui Mālama O Kāneiolouma have unofficially cared for Kāneiolouma for more than a decade. The group has a vision and mission to protect, restore, interpret, and share Kāneiolouma as a public cultural preserve.  The intent is to preserve in perpetuity, for all people, the sacred site at Kāneiolouma and ensure that irreplaceable knowledge and heritage are passed on to the future. This project will develop a public cultural preserve integrated within the popular visitor destination of Poʻipū and will represent the only such visitor attraction of its kind on Kauaʻi.  You can find much more information on the group's web site at http://www.Kāneiolouma.org. Make sure to check out the introductory video link in the upper right hand corner of the home page that captures the spirit of the project.

We will also be having a silent auction for homeowners and guests.  Judy Stupfel has donated 3 small quilts, and two gently loved pillowcases for the auction.  Jim Nahmens, Alan Hart and Roger Mullenhour, our photographers, have donated photos for the auction.  There will also be a basket of Island goodies donated by another homeowner who wishes to remain anonymous.  So bring your checkbooks or cash as I cannot process credit cards although I would be happy to use your credit card when I shop.  Of course, if you wish to have “protection” from Hurricane Marie, then you may send your donation early to Marianne Thesken.  Remember...this is a taxable donation for 2014!

We will be taking a tour of the historic site, too, on Sunday, November 9^th, time TBD! Homeowners on the island are encouraged to join us that day, as we will be presenting our gift to them.

All checks should be made to: Hui Malama O Kāneiolouma.
