To learn about Camp Mekokiko, click on the picture above. Fundraising for Camp Mekokiko Our church still has a $40,000 apportionment for Camp Mekokiko payable in five years. BIG MONEY? Yes, indeed! But if we, 160 members, can save one dollar a day for a year religiously, then we can come up with $58,000. This is more than enough to share, right? So, the Fundraising Committee will be distributing small boxes for you to save. These boxes will be collected at the end of 2008. We are looking forward for your greatest commitment. God Bless, Tessie Layugan, Fundraising Chair Esther Bertram Mely Gazman Doris Kawahara Grace Kinoshita Saia Mahe Sisilia MamatukiD onations for relief efforts to Haiti can be made through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).

-- Submitted by Gail Orde - Nurture Committee Chairperson Na Hoaloha - MIVC There is a "Faith in Action" community volunteer agency that provides services to the frail and elderly of Maui. There are many opportunities to serve as a volunteer ranging from friendly telephone calls to occasional shopping with or for the person. Volunteer registration forms are available in the narthex. Should there be a need for services, please refer to Joyce Afalla and she will assist with the referral. She is volunteering there this summer on Fridays as part of her Community Health Case Worker course at MCC. Services range from transporation to respite to telephone reassurance to friendly visits. A good example within our church is that Joyce Afalla volunteers to provide Sunday transportation for Joan Deeks. Joan Deeks volunteers with daily telephone reassurance calls for several different people. Will you support Na Hoaloha with your prayers, time and money? All monetory donations may be made through Ala Lani UMC. Just designate on the check that it is for Na Hoaloha/MIVC. Currently, two people from Ala Lani UMC serve on the board of Na Hoaloha/MIVS, Lynn Bowersox and Joyce Afalla. The volunteer coordinator is Mrs. Carol Heib (Szackacs). Offices are at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Wailuku. The phone number there is (808) 249-2545.
