There's one thing you'll soon notice after moving to Hawaii: all of the charitable events. Honolulu Magazine has a Kokua section that's always packed with events to be held around the state. The local newspaper is also good about publishing event calendars. There's a golf tournament to raise money for this; a silent auction to raise money for that. I do not jest when I say attend as many as you can. Not only do you earn good karma by giving, it is common to leave with a prize or an experience worth more than the cash spent to attend!
Next month the Brantley Center (P.O. Box 1407, Honokaa, HI 96727; 808-775-7245) is holding their annual tennis fundraiser at Mauna Kea Resort's spectacular Seaside Tennis Club. The Brantley provides rehabilitation and vocational training for those with mental illnesses.
If you are a tennis player and you plan to be on Hawaii Island during the end of July, contact me for entry details. How often do you get a chance to play on oceanfront tennis courts? Don't forget your camera. You'll need evidence when you tell your friends your ball bounced off the court and into the surf.
