Charles Rose, president of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs (AHCC), announced the establishment of a non-profit arm of the association: Hawai'i Maoli. Funded by a $207,500 grant from the Administration for Native Americans, Hawai'i Maoli is tasked

with archiving documents and information over the civic club movement's 83 year history, documenting oral histories, and maintaining the association's newsletter, Nūhou i ka Makani. Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole established the original club in 1918, known today as the Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu. The association has grown to include 47 clubs throughout Hawai'i and on the Continent.
