New Building
Our new building (the old New York Technical Institute) is now available for the “build-in” phase. We need people for the build-in committee, which involves coordinating design, material, labor and applications for the spaces we have . Please lend a hand, as this building is going to provide every ABC Hawaii Chapter member with apprentice training classrooms, lab spaces, and meeting rooms!

Fundraiser
The Koala Moa chicken sale fundraiser was a success as we sold all 400 chicken. Thank you for helping to send our apprentices to the National Craft Championship. Please wish our boys luck, as Bryan Mafoa of M.H. Electric and Andrew Minginfel of Pro Rooter compete to bring home the gold for the Hawaii Chapter once again! Remember, our goal is to have enough funds to send more apprentices to these National Craft Championships yearly, from every trade.
