On 7/26 @ 9:30am the RC of Windward Oahu Sunrise will deliver 45 meals and water bottles to the Windward YMCA for the Kailua Service Care Event. Our Club's meals are just one part of this Kailua Service Care Event, which also provides houseless individuals:
--Snack Packs provided by Kailua United Methodist Church
--Hygiene items donated by various groups and individuals
--The Hie Hie shower van
--Haircuts by Cheryl
--Daybreak clothes closet
--UH Medical School free exams/ tests/ transportation to scheduled appointments.
--IHS housing and job training opportunities
The State of Hawaii has many services available to houseless individuals, but it is often difficult to get them to accept them or there are other boundaries that make it difficult to access these services.
This Kailua Service Care Event is such a special event, because it gives them a one stop shop for a good meal, a haircut, a shower, fresh set of clothes and even a medical evaluation.

A Spellbinding Tale of Corruption In Law Enforcement
Aug. 30, 2022
Alexander Silvert was raised in New York City and Vermont. After graduating from UCLA and driving a cab in New York, and a year of post-graduate political science courses at New York University, he switched to Boston College Law School where he obtained his JD in 1984. He worked as a state and federal public defender in Philadelphia before moving to Honolulu in 1989 with his wife and three-week old son to work at the Hawai‘i Federal Public Defenders Office. He served as the First Assistant FPD from 1992 to his retirement in October of 2020. During his tenure he handled numerous high publicity cases, including representing two defendants in potential federal death penalty cases. In 2000, he was one of several AFPDs named “Federal Defender of the Year” by the National Association of Federal Defenders. In July of 2013, the author began his representation of Gerard Puana, who was charged with destruction of a mailbox owned by Honolulu Chief of Police Louis Kealoha and his wife, Katherine Kealoha, third-ranked City of Honolulu Prosecutor. The case continued for over seven years, with the author starting as defender and ending as the key instigator of the federal prosecution of the Kealohas in what has become known as the greatest public corruption case in the history of Hawaii. In October of 2020 Silvert retired as a Federal Public Defender after 33 years. Silvert has written a book about the Puana/Kealoha case entitled “The Mailbox Conspiracy: The Inside Story of the Greatest Corruption Case in Hawaii History.” Silvert currently is a lecturer at the University of Hawaii Richardson School of Law and runs his own private federal criminal law consulting firm in Hawaii. |
