The North Kohala Community Resource Center received a $6,000 grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs to support the 2015 North Kohala Community Reunion.
Every five years, North Kohala hosts a community reunion that unites former and current Kohala residents for a four-day event that explores Kohala’s past, present and future through music, food, diverse cultural displays, lectures and a recounting of community life throughout Kohala’s unique and significant history.
Started in 2000, the event, scheduled for July 3-6, has grown in its scope of cultural, historical and educational offerings.
Through daily exhibits, demonstrations, hula and musical performances, and guided and self-guided tours, attendees are steeped in Hawaiian and local culture.
“We are deeply honored and grateful for the support and acknowledgement of OHA in recognizing this important community event in North Kohala,” said Christine Richardson, NKCRC executive director.
NKCRC’s mission is to increase the number of community improvement projects in North Kohala by providing support, training and access to funding.
NKCRC provides bridges to funding for more than 90 community improvement projects.
