Vice President's Message

Aloha Kaupō Community,

Hoʻomaikaʻi!

This is our fourth quarterly issue of Pōʻai Pili for 2022, representing one year of our Kaupō community newsletter! Within these pages we have shared precious stories of place, history, news; updates from across our communities, and memories of loved ones. Weʻve been able to get to know our neighbors and learn from one another, and be inspired by the work happening across East Maui.

Pōʻai Pili fills a vital need for us and is a celebration of our communities, our kūpuna, our history, and our ʻāina.

Mahalo nui to all of the contributors who have shared with us this past year, to the volunteer staff of Pōʻai Pili, and to our newsletter editor, Kamalama, for creating such a beautiful medium through which we can stay connected and informed.

It is through coming together that we can best mālama this place we all love—as well as one another.

We're also humbled and grateful for the many hands that have joined together to bring a long-held dream to fruition. In August 2022, KCAI received the Certificate of Occupancy for the Kaupō Community Resource Center!

There is much to celebrate and give thanks for as we move into this last quarter of 2022 and prepare for a new year.

Mahalo,

Tara Apo
