" SORRY, BUT WE'RE SOLD OUT!"

Two weeks before our 2015 fundraising event kicks off and we have no more room. Sorry folks. In years past we simply added tables and chairs. Our venue at Aloha Tower allowed us to accommodate all our guests, even those that called to get a seat at the last minute. But our limited space on Merchant Street in front of Murphy's prevents an unlimited number of people being there.

BUT YOU CAN STILL SUPPORT OUR EFFORT AND DONATE MONEY! Even if you are not able to attend. Please send checks or go to PayPal to make a contribution to help young local men and women get the financial assistance they need to attend the California Maritime Academy. We only have a fundraising event once every two years. But the 'kokua' is needed everyday, year round. You can make a donation of ANY amount at ANY time. We always appreciate your support and consideration. Mahalo! 

Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR starts 2015 cruise

https://www.csum.edu/web/tsgb-cruise/inside-look
The TSGB departed Vallejo, CA this morning. Officially starting their 2015 training cruise. First stop Long Beach, CA for fuel 'only' with no other activities planned, before heading (quickly) south to the Panama Canal. Follow the voyage on the link above. Nothing posted from the ship yet (today). We probably need to give them a few days to 'put stuff up' on the web. But should be interesting to see comments, pics, and vids thru the whole summer.

ALL FUNDS RAISED GO TO DAVE LYMAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Welcome to the new website!

We're up and running with our new website. Hope you enjoy more information presented here and some great pics, too. This will be the new place to read about updates regarding our fundraising event, happenings with scholarship recipients, and other activities that are noteworthy at CMA, especially if they are of interest for Hawaii students, ohana, and alumni. So please stay tuned and come back often.

A huge mahalo for all the considerable time, energy, and her creative effort, goes out to Susan Yamamoto. Susan did the bulk of all the work in putting our new site together. And we want to ensure she rightfully gets the recognition she deserves. Susan has her own blog and for those of you who enjoy pictures and musings about all the activities centered around Honolulu Harbor, you should check out her effort at https://weeboopiper.wordpress.com  "Notes From the wooden and Iron World" She spends a lot of time at the harbor several days a week, with her camera in tow. So you'll enjoy her work filled with excellent photography. 

Aloha!

The event is off to a great start with our usual supporters already signed up for a few tables. As of today we have:

Matson
Hawaii Pilots Association
Chevron Hawaii
P&M Marine
PASHA Hawaii
Kirby Offshore
FOSS/Young Brothers
Transmarine Navigation

We look forward to more attending as the event draws near. Please note, this year, seating space is limited. So we encourage everyone to contact Leilani Perchan at Matson ASAP to make a reservation for your seat and/or table. 

Mahalo to everyone for your continued kokua and support!!
