Green Hawaiian Weddings

My friend Klaus, proprietor of Paradise Maui and King of Maui Weddings, is now offering green Hawaiian weddings in Maui! If you combine your green wedding with a volunteer vacation in Hawaii, you could do a lot of good and save 5% on your stay at the Hale Hookipa Inn, a Maui Hawaii bed and breakfast, plus have another 5% donated to the cause for which you volunteer.

Also, a little inside information bird has whispered in my ear that Klaus is going to do Hawaiian style weddings in New York, but it's not official yet... That would be a nice thing to do for all the cold New Yorkers who love Hawaii but can't afford to go there for their wedding.

Thought this would be the perfect place for the first mention of a new site I've been working on. This site, about volunteering while on vacation in Hawaii, is the brain child of my friend Cherie Attix, who was recognized by O Magazine for her voluntourism efforts.

The new site, which isn't quite ready yet, will focus on various groups and organizations that have programs for volunteers in Hawaii. Since Cherie lives on Maui (she runs the Hale Hookipa Inn Maui Bed and Breakfast in Makawao), the site is, for now, Maui centric. There are so many volunteer projects to choose from just on Maui! From the top of Haleakala (bunkhouse lodging provided) to the beautiful Maui beaches, there's a volunteer project that right for you and your family. In fact, many of the volunteer possibilities are perfect for children, and give them an opportunity to learn while they help.

If you'd like to help us with this project, please let me know! This is a great way to give something back to the culture, environment, and community in Hawaii where you vacation!
