HOME IS HERE
ISR Oahu, Fujikami Florist, Civil Air Patrol
Wednesday, August 30 at 7:30 pm

On the next Home is Here, Infant Swim Rescue or ISR differs from traditional swim lessons in many ways, however the end goal is the same – to make sure kids know what to do if they are in the water alone. The Hawaiʻi Wing of the Civil Air Patrol was started in 1946. It is laying the groundwork for what may be our next generation of pilots. Founded in 1919, family-run business Fujikami Florist in Downtown Honolulu has helped many island families celebrate, remember and express their feelings through flowers.

Final Thought…
Not since Hurricane Iniki slammed into Kauai in 1992, have we seen the magnitude of destruction and devastation left behind by the recent deadly wildfires on Maui. The old whaling town of Lahaina will never be the same nor will life for hundreds of Valley Isle families.
As beautiful as our Hawaiʻi is, we all understand, a natural disaster can happen at any time. The threat of a tsunami, an earthquake, a category five hurricane and a massive wildfire fueled by gusting trade winds, is always a threat. How prepared are we?
