WHAT TO EXPECT • Tropical storm force winds • Heavy rains and potential flooding • Potential power outages • Potential closure of restaurants, pool and other outdoor activities • Limited services (beach hut closed, pool/fitness facility closed, restaurants closed) • Potential of fallen tree, tree branches, and utility poles.

Hurricane Lane update

Hurricane Hector update

Thanks to Chris Gampon, here is an update on Hurricane Hector which was threatening Poipu Beach.

Upcoming meeting and retirement of Tim Blum

I hope to see many of you at the upcoming meetings in San Francisco next Saturday, August 11th at the Doubletree Hotel.  If you need reservations, please contact Marianne Thesken for details.  Lunch is FREE at 11:30 with the meeting to begin after.

Castle has its meeting at 9:00 that morning so it's a twofer!!  I'm sure Outrigger is also having its owners meeting simultaneously.


On another note, Outrigger and Kiahuna owners were sad to see Tim Blum retire after providing such valuable services to Kiahuna for decades!  To be exact, Tim has been a part of the Kiahuna Ohana for 35 years.  A parade at Kiahuna was held in his honor.

Were you aware that the AOBO has donated money to the Koloa Flood Relief fund?  We donated $1,000!  The victims of the Koloa Flood are still rebuilding.  The check was presented to Teddy Blake, who is representing the Koloa Foundation.  Now you will know what Teddy Blake looks like!

Pot Luck dinner location

Because of the inclement weather today, the pot luck dinner for tonight will be held in unit 205 (a 2 bedroom unit donated by Castle Resorts).

Hope to see you all there...

Quorum

Our meeting requires that we have a quorum and apparently there are some of you who have not yet sent in your forms...

Please make sure to send your proxy to Marianne Thesken.

If you need the form, let her know.

Hope to see you at the meetings this week!
