We’re quickly approaching the September 30th deadline for our Takitani Scholarship Fundraising Campaign and we wanted to let you know that to date, we’ve raised nearly $10,000 towards our $50,000 goal. Gifts ranging from $2500 to $40 have made a significant dent, but have a long way to go. These funds will be used to provide scholarships to the Pre-Apprentice Construction Training (PACT) classes that will bring the next generation of workers into our industry. We all feel the shortage now and it is our mutual responsibility to help strengthen and grow the PACT Program. Do NOT leave matching grant money on the table. The Takitani Foundation will match us dollar for dollar up to $50,000, but we only have until the 30th to do it. You still have time to make your donation, but don't wait. Give online here, give on our Facebook page, or pick up the phone and give us a call. Any amount counts!

Whenever the City observes sediment leaving the project site it violates city ordinances and is an enforceable offense. So, plan your erosion control to be specific to the topography of the property and install sediment control devices at the perimeter BEFORE construction. Don’t let sediment leave the active construction site. Install a catch basin inlet protection device as a secondary line of defense. The City & County of Honolulu Storm Water Quality Branch has some new resources and information. Stay in compliance and seek the resources that you'll need to do it! http://q-r.to/DPP-SWQ
