ʻŌlelo Noʻeau...Mary Kawena Pukui...#1066 Hoʻokāhi e pō‘ino pau pu i ka pō‘īno. One meets misfortune, all meet misfortune. Said of those who are important to the community - when misfortune befalls one, it is a misfortune for all. The fall of an able leader is a disaster to his followers just as the fall of a good warrior is a disaster to the leader.
Every member of the group is important.
Mahalo nui aloha to Officers and Volunteers of the Hawaiian Civic Club of Wahiawā Nonprofit. “Every member of the group is important.” For those who carry the responsibilities of leadership, thank you for your time and dedication. Current HCCW Officers execute their duties from April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2026.
