Volunteers plant 40 edible fruit trees at Ag Park; KNA committees reorganize for Kilauea Day and outreach

Committee reports at the April 4 meeting highlighted several community projects. The Beautification Committee (noted in the minutes with a contact "Beano" working with Kilauea Lighthouse Village) is awaiting landscape plans and native-plant lists; director Beryl Blaich suggested sharing native plants within the community. The minutes record that the Rotary Club planted 40 edible fruit trees and plants at the Kilauea Agricultural Park with 32 volunteers contributing about four hours of work.

Communication Committee leader Tom said he will step down due to lack of time and Shaylyn Kimura agreed to head the committee going forward; the committee plans work on a brochure and blog tied to "Kilauea Day." The Fundraising Committee reported no March meeting but noted planned activities to support Kilauea Elementary music and Kilauea Day with help from local businesses. The board encouraged committee membership updates and improved contact information for volunteers.
