Aloha VW Ohana, We are just sending out a BIG MAHALO to all that came out to support our first annual VW Club of Hawaii & Friends Keiki Gift Drive on Sunday December 4th at IHS Honolulu. Solid job by VW Club of Hawaii Crew Member Gordon Ortiz who planned and organized this wonderful community service event! It was a huge showing from Island VW Ohana with 45 cars coming out!!! Smiles all around and Christmas music filled the air as the donations rolled in! We were able to fill 3 bins of much need items, 2 with toys and clothes and 1 with food and toiletries! Also much appreciated was the jar filled with monetary donations too! Tours were given by Catherine Graham the IHS volunteer coordinator so people could see where there donations were going too. The experience was very humbling and we were glad to have helped in the classic VW Ohana style.
Big Mahalos to- Todd Matsumoto who donated the hot dogs, Loves Bakery who donated the buns and chips, The Motor cycle riders, 706 Ewa Crew, Waianae VW Crew, VW Club of Hawaii Crew Members and all the other Island VW Ohana who came out to make out 1st Annual Keiki Gift Drive a huge success!
Happy Holidays and we will see you at our upcoming 2012 events! Mahalo The VW Club of Hawaii

On behalf of The VW Club of Hawaii  President Todd Matsumoto, the Vice-President Angie Cariaga and Executive Board Members Mike Roth, Bill Simpson & Miki Nagatoshi, and yours truly presented your charitable donations of $341 and 217 lbs of canned foods and 2 bags 2o lbs. rice to the Hawaii Food Bank.

The Hawaii Food Bank was very appreciative of your donations.  We just delivered.  We promised the Hawaii Food Bank that every year we will beat the previous year’s $$$ and lbs. donated.  This is a direct challenge to you to not only donate throughout the year, but to donate more than you did for the 11th Annual Shaka Weekend, Sept. 2-3 (Sun-Mon), 2012.  So, c’mon let’s beat $341 and 217 lbs in 2012.

Mahalo,

The VW Club of Hawaii
