New Disney Resort

Walt Disney Imagineers have created a new resort called Aulani, a place celebrating Hawaiian history, culture and artwork, on the western shores Oahu in Ko Olina. It opens Aug. 29 and is hiring people now. Aulani in Hawaiian means the messenger of a chief. The 21-acre resort has 460 Disney vacation villas; 359 hotel rooms; a spa and fitness center; three pools and a floating stream; a children’s water recreation area; and a marine preserve and private reef. Some pools even have wheelchair access as well. To find out about job openings, go to aulani.disneyparks.jobs.

Relay for Life

The Annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life Koolauloa invites all community members to participate in the fight against cancer. BYUHSA will be there to help and support. The event is taking place Friday, May 27, at Hauula Elementary School from 5:30 p.m. until 6 a.m.
Saturday.

Give and Take

Aside from selling it, giving it away or trashing it, there has been very little that students could do to get rid of their stuff at the end of each semester/term—until now. Last semester, recent graduate Kelly Nelson organized and ran the very first BYUH Give And Take Event. On day one of the event, April 11, students brought their items, and on April 12, a line of people came to look at and “take” donated items. Nelson is working on organizing a Give And Take Event for the Spring Term. Instead of having a single day for donations, Nelson hopes to devote an entire week for the “give” portion of the event.

Changes to the Third Stake presidency

The 11th ward’s new bishop is Fehi Niutupuivaha, and his counselors are Nihi Napoleon and Tai Vuniwai. The 10th ward’s new bishop is Aaron Keo, joined by Kawika Vendiola and Spencer Hannemann.
