It’s Always a Busy Time of Year

The North Shore Chamber of Commerce recently joined other organizations at the Community Tent at the Haleiwa Arts Festival, which celebrated the accomplishments of approximately 100 of our local artists. We connected with many people; distributed chamber, visitor, and agriculture related information; and enjoyed some great food and entertainment. This free annual festival at Haleiwa Beach Park also included children’s activities and
workshops. It has been a community favorite and visitor must-see event for more than 20 years.

There are two Chamber events coming up in the next few months. The next general membership meeting is scheduled on Wednesday, August 29th, 8-10 am, at Haleiwa Joe’s. The program includes a continental breakfast with networking, business meeting, and a speaker program. Representatives from the legislative and law enforcement communities also present informational updates. Cost is $10 for members, $15 for non-members.

The next Pau Hana with the theme “Social September” is set for Wednesday, Sept. 12th, 5-8 pm, at the Chamber location. The first hour will include short presentations by social media experts. They will have the opportunity to explain what they do and present industry tips. Drinks and heavy pupus will follow. Local social networking businesses and graphic designers are invited to have a promotional booth on the Chamber grounds. Each booth
will be free for Chamber members, or $50 for nonmembers. (If non- members join, the booth fee will be waived). This is intended as an introduction to “Lunch and Learn” social media workshops the Chamber intends to sponsor over the next months. Currently, the Chamber is distributing a survey to gain a better understanding of where it should direct
its activities and resources to support not only its members but the entire community. It will use the input to improve current activities and direct its energies to new ideas. Anyone wishing to participate in the survey may pick one up at the Chamber office or go to the link  https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/TV336C8.

North Shore Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to making the North Shore a better place to live, work, and play. Chamber events throughout the year provide opportunities for residents and businesses to meet, network, and build long-lasting relationships. We also share the aloha spirit with North Shore visitors, encourage responsible tourism, and provide referrals to North Shore businesses.

Most of our activities are conducted by volunteers, and we are always looking for volunteers for the Chamber to help fulfill its goals. If you are interested in volunteering by serving on one of our committees, helping at one of our events, or putting in a few hours at the Visitor Center, let us know.

Our office, which is located across the street from the Haleiwa Post Office at 66-434B Kamehameha Highway, serves as a visitor and business services center Monday through Friday, 10 am-5 pm. (Phone 808-637-4558; email info@gonorthshore.org; website https://www.gonorthshore.org).
