Heart Strings will be playing at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center on October 11th from 3-5p.m. This is a story about Kamaka and Sons, a 100 year-old family business operating out of a tiny shop in Honolulu. They make Hawaiian musical instruments and of all the other businesses doing the same at the start of the 20th century, theirs is the only one left.

This story is especially close to the heart of Hawaiian culture as it chronicles how the Kamaka and Sons Ukulele Company survived to carry on their namesake. Their Hawaiian values comprise the core of their business and reflect their unique identity and perspectives.

One of Maui's most accomplished non-profit organizations in the field of ecology is the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project (MFBRP). In a very admirable effort to educate both visitors and Maui residents on the island's delicate and precious natural resources, the MFBRP will be hosting lectures and hikes.

Of course the MFBRP specializes in Maui's native birds, so they will be the main educational focus. The lectures should be exciting and illuminating, considering that Hawaii's amazing avian biodiversity is so impressive in and of itself. Images, sounds and video will be incorporated with the information provided to make the lecture as rich as possible.

Pocketbooks are pinched and budgets cinched, so how do you make the most of what you have? If your business deals with customers on any level, now would be a good time to make sure you or your employees are giving them the appropriate treatment.

On a little island like Maui with such a close-knit community, word-of-mouth is extremely important. Most residents have had experiences with most businesses on the island at one point or another, depending on how long they've lived here. You need to think about both customers that have been served by your business as well as those that haven't yet. For those who have experience with you, it is extremely important to develop a good repoir so that they will come back as well as recommend others to use your services.

Maui's Faster Bed & Breakfast Permitting System

Maui North Shore Condos for SaleMaui's Bed & Breakfast permitting system has recently been through a lot of changes. Due to certain regulations, many have recently had to close their doors, but this year, the permitting system has been processing applications faster. The Maui County ordinance to speed the process was put into place in January of this year. Since then, a third of the applicants have recieved their licenses to open their doors to guests.

Between 1997 and 2008, only fourteen bed and breakfast permits were approved. This year, the Planning Department began processing permits in March and since then, 18 of 54 applications filed have been approved. So far, it looks like the new ordinance is making it easire to get B&B's running whether or not they are located outside of hotel districts.

Stringent Protection for Maui Coral Reefs

The state of Hawaii takes the health of its natural resources very seriously. With innumerable visitors attracted to the natural beauty of these islands every year, it's no surprise that the unique and spectacular ecology here should be so well guarded. The protection of coral reefs in Maui and Oahu waters has been a hot topic in the news recently as a result of a few mishaps.

A Snorkel Charter lost one of its boats off Molokini due to a mechanical failure back in 2006, for which it was fined $396,000. The fine wouldn't have been so high if the salvage effort hadn't tripled the damage done to coral there. Over 1,200 coral colonies were damaged at this popular diving spot as a result of this incident.
