The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 27, from 6 to 9 pm, at the Kekaha Neighborhood Center.

They include Jose Bulatao Jr., Myra Elliott,Randall Hee, Robert Jackson, A. "Big Boy" Kupo Jr., Glenn Molander, Evelyn Olores, Bruce Pleas and Walter Stocker.
They will recommend community projects to be funded by the program.
