About the Event ...
What is the Saturday, August 27, 2011 event all about?
“A Pathway to Our Future” is a special evening for the benefit of the MEDB Ke Alahele Education Fund. In 2006, MEDB established the MEDB Ke Alahele Education Fund so our community could invest directly in broadening career pathways for Maui County residents. To date, we have awarded over $420,000 to help educators, students, parent groups and community organizations expand skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields.
Who are our special guests?
We are delighted that our Distinguished Educators this year will be U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye and his wife Ms. Irene Hirano, and Mayor Alan and Ann Arakawa.
Where will the event be held and what are its highlights?
The event will be held at the Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, beginning with a reception for all our supporters where you can meet the students and your friends, enjoy the popular “Apples for Education” Silent Auction beginning at 4:30 pm, followed by dinner and a Live Auction at 6:30 pm.
