ASSISTANCE LEAGUE GAMES DAY BENEFIT

May 03, 2006
By Midweek Staff

It’s rare to get so many Assistance League of Hawaii members to sit down together and enjoy themselves. They are usually at the thrift shop (at 1505 Young St.), tutoring keiki, sorting school clothes, sharing wildlife lessons, bring teddy bears to the ER, etc. But on March 29, they played games and had lunch and an auction at Waialae Country Club to support all those endeavors. The league has assisted several campuses in East Oahu, such as Palolo, Waialae, Koko Head and Jefferson elementary schools and Jarrett Middle school. They are proud to say they have 120 members and no paid staff. To join, donate help or contribute items to the thrift shop, call 526-4008.
