AHL Eggstravaganza 2013March 29th – April 1st Architects Hawaii, Ltd. displayed their 12th Annual Eggstravanza on the ground floor of Makai tower on March 29th. It was a newsworthy event deserving of a visit from KHON’s Kirk Matthews as host of a segment of Hawaii’s Morning News live from Pacific Guardian Center. The theme for this year’s Eggstravaganza was “Moving On Up, To Our Eggciting New Penthouse.” The eggshell-inspired creations featured five parcels of surrounding Honolulu districts: Aloha Tower Waterfront, Chinatown, Down-town, Kakaako, and Nu’uanu. AHL provided ballots for people to vote on their favorite creation/district. There was no prize involved, just bragging rights for the winner. After tallying the votes the following Monday, April 1st, the winner was the Downtown district team! We are so proud, not only for the excellent design and execution by the winning team, but also for Pacific Guardian Center to be prominently featured in the winning display. What a fun group they are!

a Message from Lisa D’AndreaGeneral Manager

Noticed anything new at PGC lately?

By now you have probably noticed that our newsletter has a fresh look. The newsletter, along with the website, and electronic lobby directory have all been updated with a new and matching design. Our new design better reflects PGC’s commitment to sustainability with its green-inspired foliage background.

If you haven’t been there in a while, visit our website at pacificguardiancenter.com and come back often to find the latest news and events at PGC. And while you are passing through the ground floor lobby (or maybe standing in line for your popcorn on Friday) check out the inter-active touch-screen directory in front of the security office. It sports the updated design, new photos, and proudly displays our LEED Silver certification logo. In fact, now would be a good time to check the listings for both your company and your company’s employees. If you require any updates, contact Building Management so we can make the changes for you.

There are many more exciting changes coming soon and later in the year as we do our best to make your business easy at Pacific Guardian Center. Until then, have a safe and fun-filled summer.

Our COURTYARDWe are fortunate to have such a lovely plaza in which to hold our events, especially since the trees shade it so well. Just in case you did not notice, we recently added more tables, chairs, and umbrellas in the center courtyard so that more of you can experi-ence our lovely oasis for lunch, a short work break, or an impromptu business meeting. We also just completed the replacement of the six canopy fabrics in the Dillingham Transportation Building to keep them look-ing fresh. We hope you continue to enjoy the courtyard, one of our tenants’ favorite PGC amenities.

FIRE WARDEN TRAINING May 13th & 14th Some hot topics were covered in this month’s semi-annual Fire Warden Training classes on May 13th & 14th.

Thank you to all our tenants who participat-ed in our first class of the year. The ques-tions you presented were invaluable and we hope you share the answers/information that you obtained from the training with the rest of your fellow employees.

As the National Fire Protection Agency advises, we ask that you continue to train all your employees in fire escape proce-dures, post your floor/suite evacuation plan, conduct regular fire drills, and include disabled employees in your emergency planning. Please contact Building Manage-ment Office at 537-6132 if you need copies of handouts and/or literature from the fire warden training.

They entertained their way in the courtyard with traditional Irish, Scottish, whis-key, seisiún and craic music, and live Irish dance performers by “Irish Dance Hawaii”. Green-themed Tropilicious Ice Cream and Sorbet were distributed to the first 750 tenants during the entertainment. We would like to thank all the tenants who came by to enjoy the festivities.

Flores de Mayo (flow-ers of May), is taken from Spanish Flores,

a flower festival celebrated in the month of May. It was another successful event this year as we celebrated Flores De Mayo on Friday, May 10th in the Pacific Guardian Center courtyard. The courtyard was gaily decorated with rays of bright colors and spring flowers. Tenants got to enjoy the soulful Latin vibes of the musical group Son Caribe, while dancing their way to receive their free chicken or beef empanada from Valerio’s Bakery. We would like to thank all who came out to enjoy our Flores De Mayo celebration and especially those who graced us with their smooth salsa moves.
