Advertiser Staff and News Services
The Honolulu City & County Employees Federal Credit Union has changed its name to the Aloha Pacific Federal Credit Union.
The name change has received the approval of the National Credit Union Administration. Other local regulatory approvals are expected to be granted shortly, the credit union said in a news release. Over the next few months, the organization will gradually change signs and other materials to reflect the new name.
The credit union is the third largest in Hawai'i, with more than $415 million in assets. The main branch is on South Hotel Street, with additional branches in Waikele and Waimalu. A branch in downtown Ho-nolulu is scheduled to open this year.
PERMIT SOUGHT IN SENIOR PROJECT
The developer of the proposed 15 Craigside senior living project has applied for a city permit to allow the development to proceed.
Craigside Retirement Residence LLC is seeking a conditional use permit to construct the 12-story, 198,207-square-foot building at 15 Craigside Place. The project will feature 171 independent- and assisted-living studio and one-bedroom units, 41 skilled-nursing and independent-care beds, a dining area and 128 parking stalls.
The 15 Craigside project is planned for 1.5 acres next to Craigside condominiums in Nu'uanu. The project is scheduled to break ground late this year or early next year and be completed by the end of 2009.
MEDICAL SESSIONS FREE TO MILITARY
About 4,000 members of the National Medical Association are expected to attend the organization's 105th Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly at the Hawai'i Convention Center Aug. 4 to 8.
This year, the NMA has extended invitations to active military physicians at military medical centers in Honolulu to attend this year's scientific assembly sessions for free. Some of the issues being addressed at the convention include psychological stresses of war and the impact on the family unit, combat injuries, their diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
