Update: January ACA Meeting – WE ARE MEETING AT OUR REGULAR DATE & TIME!

Please disregard this post. We will be meeting at our regularly scheduled date and time (Monday, January 19th at 7:30 pm in the Aiea Public Library meeting room). Apologies for this inconvenience.

Because the ACA’s January meeting falls on a holiday (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day), we are moving our monthly meeting to Tuesday, January 20th instead. The meeting will be held at the usual place (Aiea Library meeting room).

New Photo Gallery Section; Website Maintenance

View of the 1st annual 'Aiea Community Christmas ParadeA new “photo gallery” section has been added to our website! It took a bit of time for your slow-minded webmaster to figure out the logic behind Piwigo (the software that powers the gallery), but the darn thing is finally up!

Various photo galleries are in the work, but to start the section off, it seems fitting to look back at the first annual ‘Aiea Community Christmas Parade back in December of 2007, since the now eight-year-old tradition will be happening in just a couple of weeks! 12 photos from that day are online…and hopefully more will come once I’m able to figure out where the other photos are.

In other website news, I did some general back-end upgrades this evening to the software that powers this website…and managed to break the calendar in the process. I just got it working again, but I apologize if you were affected by the short down-time. In addition, I finally got the web forms on this website working again, so you should now be able to apply to be an ACA member online and contact us using the contact link.

No Neighborhood Board Meeting in December

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from the ‘Aiea Community Association!

Statement from the ‘Aiea Community Association regarding Honolulu City Council Resolution 1490

Please see this video from our President, Claire Tamamoto, and one of our Board Members, Jane Sugimura, regarding Honolulu City Council Resolution 1490:

It has come to our attention that Council Member Carole Fukunaga has been unfairly criticized for the removal of an item from the Public Safety & Economic Development Committee hearing agenda on Tuesday, August 26th. The ‘Aiea Community Association asked Council Member Fukunaga to remove Resolution 1490 (Requesting the City Administration to Develop a Multi-Purpose Community Center) from the Agenda. It’s the Association’s wish that this matter be heard at a subsequent meeting of the PSED Committee. We regret that this simple request has become politicized by Council Member Fukunaga’s opponent in this election.
