January 25 - Lt.
Governor Aiona joined state, city, and community representatives at the
opening of the Leeward YMCA. "I know that this facility will continue
to build on the YMCA's motto to build strong families and communities for
many generations," said the Lt. Governor. The Leeward YMCA is located at the
home of the old Waipahu sugar mill and includes a six-lane heated swimming
pool, fitness center, exercise and meeting rooms, after school mentoring and
tutoring. Last year, Governor Lingle released $2,000,000 for the
construction. Total cost of the project was $14.3 million.
