Welcome to the `Āina Haina Community Association
The `Āina Haina Community Association (AHCA) was founded in 1966 by residents committed to ensuring the quality of life and preserving the values that have made `Āina Haina one of the most desirable places in which to live on the Island of O'ahu. Today, our community numbers just under 25,000 residents with homes commanding some of the highest and most stable property values in Honolulu. With your continued support, active participation and the strong community and family spirit for which `Āina Haina is known, we will work together to sustain these values for generations to come. If you and your family have lived here as long as many, mahalo nui loa for your support.
If you are new to this area, e komo mai and please be sure to join the AHCA to help preserve a beautiful, safe and thriving `Āina Haina. Approximately forty percent of households in the community are members who elect an all-volunteer Board of Directors each year at the `Āina Haina Community Association General Meeting. All Directors live in our community -- some for generations.
During each program year spanning July 1 to June 30, the Board of Directors is tasked with ensuring that each tenet of the AHCA charter is upheld:
1. to promote the general welfare of the `Āina Haina area and its residents
2. to foster a positive community spirit and
3. to take informed action when necessary on community problems

ALERT to supporters of the `Āina Haina Library!
For nearly 50 years, The Friends of the `Āina Haina Library, an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization, has conducted book sales at the library to raise funds dedicated to supporting and improving the library's ability to serve `Āina Haina and surrounding communities. Recently, the organization's ability to continue raising funds specifically for the `Āina Haina library on `Āina Haina library grounds has been threatened by obscure State statute and a 2010 agreement between the State Librarian and Friends of the Library of Hawaii (also a non-profit organization benefitting the public library system) granting Friends of the Library of Hawaii exclusive rights sell books on library grounds for the benefit of the library.
To help The Friends of the `Āina Haina Library maintain its independent status, Senator Sam Slom introduced SB2994 which would allow any 501(c)(3) library friends group to hold book sales on State property without having to become an affiliate of the Friends of the Library of Hawaii.
The Honorable Senator Jill Tokuda, Chairman of Senate Education Committee, is considering whether to schedule the bill for a public hearing.
If you wish to encourage Senator Tokuda to schedule public hearings on the bill or would like to ask questions or express other opinions about this bill, contact Senator Tokuda's office IMMEDIATELY at one of the contact points below. A hearing and decision-making must take place no later than Feb 15th for the bill to be passed on to the next committee for consideration by the Feb 17th deadline, so please react quickly if you would like to influence this decision.
