There has been a lot of activity in Hawaii. |
State Reports...  There has been a lot of activity in Hawaii. We completed the last of our Parent Night sessions in January. Thanks
to a USA Funds grant, PacFAA was able to reach out and
provide all four major Hawaiian Islands with Parent
Night workshops. We also thank American Savings Bank
for assisting us in printing the materials we used. Coming
from one of the smallest islands, Kauai, I can tell you that
our families really appreciated the information presented
by PacFAA. Each presenter was accompanied by an assistant
to cover the basics of "how to" and what happens
after you apply for financial aid. We hope to include other
Pacific Islands in the future. Thanks PacFAA Presenters
for doing such a great job! In partnership with USA Funds, PacFAA members will
be participating in our first College Goal Sunday on
February 10th. This is a community outreach activity to
assist low-income families to understand and to complete
the FAFSA. During the event, there will be prizes, tax
preparation assistance, scholarships, etc. For more information,
visit the following web site: http://www.collegegoalsunday.org/facts.asp. All of these community events
could not happen without that one special person taking
the lead. Frank Green, Past-President, has been the
dynamic force behind many of these community outreach
projects. We love you Frank, thanks!Nominations and elections will be conducted in February. PacFAA’s Executive Council will be voting on amendments to the constitution: 1) Motto and 2) Member Dues. An electronic mailing list service is now available (for members only). PacFAA’s Spring Conference will be on March 10th. |
