Tomorrow is NA HOA HOLOMOKU's meeting before Council members. It has been a battle trying to work something out with Roxie Waljen. We remain quite perplexed at her heavy handed approach to our non profit club.
I'm not sure how many letters of testimony have been forwarded to the office of J. Ruggle, Chair of the Parks & Rec. Committee. Many have also been posted on our Na Hoa Holomoku web site for all members to read. The letters and the amount of them are impressive. We are all grateful for those who took the time to write the Council in support of our program.

In this article Roxie Waltjen was quoted as saying....
“They probably had a verbal contract with the past director,” Waltjen said. However, she said that some boats on the beach do not belong to either UH-Hilo or the Na Hoa Holomoku Yacht Club, but remain on the beach illegally, with some people even operating businesses from their boats."
Not true. All boats on our location belonged to University of Hilo, Na Hoa Holomoku or individual members of Na Hoa Holomoku who share their boats with other members.
NO ONE , in our club is operating a business from their boat.
Several of our Board members did manage a meeting with Roxie Waltjen.
Waltjen started the meeting by passing out copies of the Memorandum of Agreement the State of Hawaii executed with the County , passing to the County ,the management of the portion of State land where our club is located. Waltjen stated that this MOA was for the purpose of canoe clubs only.
Once again....not true. It clearly states Ocean Recreation.
We requested a copy of the existing MOA our County has with our neighbors (Canoe Clubs ).
We were refused . We found it necessary, why we do not know, to file a request thru the freedom of information act.
Something is wrong here.......what and why, is a mystery. Hopefully everything will be exposed tomorrow.
