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).
A 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.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from the ‘Aiea Community Association!
Please note that the ‘Aiea Neighborhood Board is on recess during the month of December. The next meeting of the ‘Aiea Neighborhood Board will be on January 12, 2014.
The ‘Aiea Community Association will be meeting as usual on December 15, 2014 (this is the Monday after the parade).
The holidays are rapidly approaching, and as we all know, the otherwise happy holiday time brings with it massively unhappy traffic conditions, especially going toward Pearlridge Shopping Center. Avoid traffic headaches by following weekly traffic updates from the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transit’s website!
Once again, the ‘Aiea Community Association will be sponsoring and organizing a Christmas parade! This year’s parade will be held on December 13, 2014. Note that the route has changed from last year: It will start at the ‘Aiea Sugar Mill site on Halewiliko Street, continue along ‘Aiea Heights Drive and Ulune Street, then left onto Kaamilo Street, right onto Moanalua Road, ending at Toys R Us. Join us afterwards at the Pearlridge Farmer’s Market by Sears! If you’re interested in participating in the parade, you can fill out an application form and submit to the parade committee by November 30, 2014.
Thank you very much to Karen Higa and Claire Tamamoto for all of their hard work in organizing this parade!
Sorry for the late notice but the ACA is sponsoring an Friends of the ‘Aiea Public Library booksale today at the ‘Aiea Public Library (99-210 Halewiliko St) from 9am to 2:30pm.
Come check it out! We’ll have a ton of great books and other materials at amazing bargain prices!
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.

The grand opening of the ‘Aiea Public Library was featured in the August “Holo I Mua,” the official newsletter for the Hawaii State Public Library System. You can download the newsletter here–there’s a great write-up and some awesome photos (as the one above!)!
Thanks to everyone who attended!
As a reminder, the brand NEW ‘Aiea Public Library will be holding its grand opening this Saturday, July 19th at 10am! Come on down and see the library in action. Don’t forget to bring your library card! With it, you can take advantage of all the library has to offer: borrowing books, CDs, DVDs, and using electronic resources, including the Internet.
The new library is located at 99-374 Pohai Place, at the site of the former ‘Aiea Sugar Mill.
Children’s storytime will return to Aiea Public Library on Wednesday, July 30th at 10:30 AM. If you have children or grandchildren who have enjoyed our engaging stories and fun crafts, remember to bring them to Aiea’s brand new library on Wednesday mornings. Reading to children not only helps them develop an appreciation of the written word, but also results in stronger reading skills and a higher success rate in school, so bring them to the library for storytime.
Finally, computer classes will begin at the new ‘Aiea Public Library on August 5, 2014. If you know anyone who needs some help with basic computer and Internet skills, please tell them about these free classes! Classes are geared towards the individual student’s needs. The first August class is scheduled for August 5th at 11 AM. Visit or call the library at 483-7333 to sign up.
The 'Aiea Community Association is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to serving the 'Aiea community.
