Service Projects -- Kaneohe 1st Ward Elders Quorum

• Adopt-a-highway.  We have adopted a 2-mile section of roadway [see map] which includes Kahekili Hwy from Haiku Road to Likelike Hwy to Kaneohe Bay Drive (by Burger King).  We have committed to pick up trash a minimum of 4x per year for the next 2+ years (October 2011 to December 2013). The first service outing date is 12 Nov 2011 Saturday.  Meeting time is 7:30 a.m. at Kaneohe Burger King parking lot.  Instructions and assignments will be given.

We're planning other service projects and we would appreciate your input.

Past projects we have done included:

• Blood drives (in cooperation with Blood Bank of Hawaii)
• Feed the hungry @ a downtown Honolulu shelter
• Christmas toy drive
• Yard clean-ups
• Painting lines in the parking lot of Ben Parker School
• Helping members to move household furniture and goods
• Clean-up and clearing areas in Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens

If you have an idea for a service project, preferably one that we can do in our ward boundaries, please post a comment here.
