Come together in fellowship to give back to our Kupuna by forming a painting team at Maluhia Hospital. Phase 2 is underway and the recreational therapy room, (38’ x 23’ with 9’ ceilings and built-in cabinets) will be ready for your talented hands on October 22nd. We have until October 31st to complete the room. Sounds simple?  Only if you join us to lend a hand.  Benjamin Moore will be donating paint and supplies and drinks and snacks will be provided.

You may call Nancy Schnur at 348-1220 to get more details on time and location but if the mood strikes you and your team, then just show up and pick up a brush.

We’ll see you there!

MESSAGE FROM ASID
Help tomorrow's designers learn from today's pros

Sign up now to mentor a student during RealWorld DesignWeek, being held Nov. 11–16. Last year, there were many students who wanted to participate but could not because of a lack of mentors. Just a little bit of your time can make a big difference to a student looking for direction to begin his or her career.  As a bonus, the chapter with the highest percentage of members — both mentors and students — participating in RealWorld DesignWeek will receive $1,000 to help fund a student member event, program or scholarship. Help a student; help your chapter: Sign up today.
