Many issues before Waimea association
Recent cosmic discoveries from right in Waimea’s backyard and a glimpse of what lies ahead in the new year for astronomers Karun Thanjavur of Canada-France-Hawaii and Gregory Wirth of the William Keck observatories will top the Waimea Community Association town meeting at 5:15 p.m. Thursday in the W.M. Keck Observatory headquarters conference room.
Also on the agenda will be a brief update on North Hawaii Community Hospital by Board Chairman Bob Momsen, along with a farewell report by former North and South Kohala County Councilman Pete Hoffmann, who has concluded his service on the council because of term limits. Joining him will be newly seated Council members Margaret Wille, representing Waimea, Waikoloa, Puako, Kawaihae and North Kohala, and Valerie Poindexter, representing Waimea and Hamakua.
The program will begin with an election of officers. Proposed revisions to bylaws also will be discussed and voted on. To review proposed bylaw revisions, visit waimeatown.org.
All who attend the meetings are asked to bring a donation — preferably cash or a check — or nonperishable food items. Checks may be payable directly to a food pantry so the donation is tax deductible.
There is no charge to attend nor membership dues, though donations are welcome.
