HAWAI'I BRIEFS
Lions seek school supplies for kids
Advertiser Staff
The Wahiawa Lions are asking residents to donate school supplies or money to help needy children in the Wahiawa school district. Collections will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on July 22 and July 29 at the Wahiawa Shopping Center near Longs and at Tamura's Market.
With 13 percent of Wahiawa households living in poverty, according to government standards, many children lack the necessary school supplies.
The Wahiawa Lions are hoping to collect enough resources for the children to draw upon throughout the school year.
"Last year we collected over 900 pounds of supplies and over $2,400," said Rene Mansho, Wahiawa Lions president. "With the community's support we hope to do even better."
The Wahiawa Lions are looking for No. 2 pencils, red and black ballpoint pens, three-hole wide-ruled paper, folders, erasers, glue, paper towels, napkins, facial tissue, liquid soap, crayons, colored pencils, markers and composition books. A full list is posted at major retailers selling school supplies.
Contact Jack Kampfer at 621-5109, ext. 226 or Paul Misaka at 621-5236 for more information.

TWO FARE SCHEDULES FOR BUS RIDERS
The Kaua'i Bus has established two fare schedules — one for its main line passengers, and another for those using the Lihu'e Lunch Shuttle.
The basic adult fare on the main line is $1.50, or $.75 for those aged 60 and over or between 7 and 18. Children aged 6 and younger ride free with a fare-paying passenger.
The comparable rates on the lunch shuttle are $.50 for adults and $.25 for the elderly and youths. A $15 monthly pass provides unlimited service on both runs.
