WAI’ANAE, HI; Sunday, September 26, 2010—Effective the week of October 4, 2010, `Ōlelo Wai’anae Community Media Center will be open to the public five (5) days a week.

“Staff and I are committed to better serving the Wai’anae Coast community, therefore, we are pleased to be opening on Saturdays to expand our availability to everyone in the community,” said Hanalei Y. Aipoalani, Interim Manager, `Ōlelo Wai’anae CMC. “Moreover, we are encouraged by the high level of interest for in-school partnerships-and-trainings between `Ōlelo Wai’anae CMC and schools along the Wai’anae Coast. These partnerships and trainings, coupled with services and resources available during our CMC hours of operations, are poised to increase utilization hours, training classes and certification counts. Therefore, the adjustment in hours of CMC operations represents an opportunity for staff to build capacity within the community-at-large and schools.”
