EF trip to Italy

For those of you traveling to Italy in May, 2022 and for those of you still interested: Mark your calendar for March 2 at 1:30 PM – we will be doing a webcast with the EF representatives — a great opportunity to get more detailed information into the trip specifics and start the planning process.  EF (which stands for “Education First”) has extended the “worry-free” deadline until February 28th, in which you can get a full-refund of any monies paid to EF if you change your mind before May 1, 2021.

The early enrollment discount for the month of February is $225. The link to our website is: EFCST.COM/2430099KJ  I will send out the link to the webcast in a later email (I will post the info when it becomes available).

Maui County Community Farmland Initiative

Aloha Everyone,

I wanted to relay some information I received in the mail last week.  It was from the Maui County Community Organic Farmland Initiative.  Here is the link to their website: Maui Community Organic Farmland Initiative.  They will be holding town hall meetings at various places around the island.  The organization hopes to add an initiative to the ballot this November that will allow the public to purchase agricultural lands and turn them into locally-owned organic farms.  I encourage you all to check the website.  This initiative provides a solution to how the sugar cane lands may be used.  I will give 3 extra credit points to students who attend any of these town halls.
