On Saturday September 16^th CMAA will sponsor a community service event doing cleaning and painting at Child & Family Service’s (CFS) transitional housing site in Honolulu, in the Nuuanu/Kuakini/School Street neighborhood.

We have the opportunity to perform a community service event that could make a real difference in the lives of a few families.

There is a small apartment building in town that is being used to house families who are victims of domestic violence. They have 2 apartments that currently need rehabilitation (cleaning and painting). One also needs a new sink and toilet. Once these are done new families can immediately move in. The apartments are each 2 bedrooms and 2 bath.

I strongly support this event, with a little work, we can make a big difference to a couple of families who need the help. Continue reading →
