Chairman’s Report
Submitted by Stephen Freedman on
2016
The East Hawaii Cultural Center has been at the beating heart of our community culture on the Big Island for four decades. Run largely by volunteers, under the leadership of whoever had time and passion, the Center has offered a venue for a host of cultural groups, artists, theater and music ensembles, and workshops. When the current Board Chairman asked me to take over running the venue a month ago, I was excited and daunted.

THE HILO URB FARM AT EHCC TURNS ONE!
Submitted by Monique Ortiz on
Last Friday evening the The Hilo Urb Farm at EHCC celebrated its first anniversary with a reception in the garden followed by a Vegan dinner (save for the poke) upstairs in the EHCC cafe. There was a great turnout with live music, and lots to eat. Even vegan Laulau! There was also a silent auction which along with other donations, raised $850. Another one is planned for next year! Contact the Hilo Urb Farm if you’re interested in volunteering.
