Kalakaua Statue Fund Donations Near $500

While donations and pledges were being made for the Dr. George Hiilani Mills Fellowship in Medicine, other contributions were also pledged towards a King David Kalakaua statue following a plea for kokua by Elaine Flores of the Waimea Hawaiian Civic Club during the 28th Annual Convention of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs Nov. 12-14 in Las Veags, Nev.

When all pledges and actual donations were made, the fund realized nearly $500 from individuals and clubs. Other clubs will take the matter back to their memberships. Community organizations and other Hawaiian groups will be asked to donate to the fund.
