President’s MessageAloha members—We are on the home stretch to our Windward Ho‘olaule‘a on Oct. 2. Can you believe it’s been 10 years that we have been coordi-nating this event with WCC?

Don’t miss the chance to highlight your business at the Trade Show. We still have two-hour blocks of time, free of charge to members!

Reserve your space with coordina-tor Laurie Rodriguez at 372-9525 or laurier808@gmail.com. If you know of someone else (not a KBG member) who wants to participate, the fee is $120, which includes a year’s KBG membership upon approval of the board.

Laurie says, “This is a once-a-year oppor-tunity to meet your community and have some fun. You can expand your client base, see old friends and meet your next biggest custom-ers and referral partners.”

Then, let’s go sailing! Join us at Kaneohe Yacht Club on October 4 for a sunset sail on Kaneohe Bay hosted by Marimed Foundation. See the invitation on the following page and call early to reserve a spot on board. This is a fun event not to be missed!

Aloha, Bonnie
