2010
Aloha and Happy New Year.
Organizing for America-Hawaii is kicking off the new year with exciting activities throughout the state. We hope you can join us and become organizers with OFA-Hawai’i. Here is list of events and the RSVP links for the month of January.
Big Island
I plan on traveling to Big Island on January 27-30. I will conduct community organizer training sessions throughout Big Island. I am looking for volunteers who can assist in identifying potential locations for these training sessions. There will be numerous training sessions so we can expect 5-15 people per training session. Ideal places would be homes, coffee shops, and meeting areas. I will have a power point slide presentation (using a projector).
Here are the dates and tentative timeframes:
- January 28 5PM-8:30PM
- January 29-31 The morning session is 10AM-1:30 PM and the afternoon/evening session would be 5:00PM-8:30PM
If you are interested in assisting with the planning of these training sessions, please send an email to BaldeviaR@DNC.org. Below is a list of steps to plan for the training session:
- Identify a location and confirm the location is available. Confirm logistics for the event;
- Post and publish the event online at my.barackobama.com; and
- HQ will then use the event you posted and published on my.barackobama.com to craft a mass email will be sent to residents who live in close proximity to the location
Kauai

January 18, 2010 – MLK Service Project and Parade
On Monday, January 18, 2010 The African American Heritage Foundation of Maui is sponsoring it's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Peace March. We will gather at 10:30 at Maui Community College parking lot off of Kaahumanu Avenue in Kahului. The March will start promptly at 11 am. We will march in the street to Hoaloha Park (The Hawaiian Canoe Club). Come listen to our Guest Speaker, Reverend Robert Graetz and his wife Jeannie, from Montgomery, Alabama, tell their courageous life experience as participants in the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. Reverend Graetz is the author of "A White Preacher's Memoir - The Montgomery Bus Boycott." While using the techniques of classic storytelling, Reverend Graetz relates to us the central role of Re verend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. along with the contributions of others such as Ms. Rosa Parks, E.D. Nixon, Clifford and Virginia Durr and others who together forced the Montgomery Bus Company to give up their segregation policy.
There will be a free meal served. Please bring a mat to sit on and a donation for the Maui Food Bank.
