North Shore Country Market

When Honolulu residents need a break from the city, they head to Oahu's historic North Shore community:
Hale'iwa, a place where Hawaii's colorful past is reflected.
Renowned for its legendary beaches, Hale'iwa is a favorite refuge for Hawaii's residents and a must-see for visitors.
Nowhere else on Oahu will you find quiant shops and cafes housed in plantation-era buildings less than five miles from world-famous surf spots.

So what can we expect from the North Shore Chamber of Commerce in 2006?

The Chamber is working with HPD to reduce crime, securing funds and seeking opportunities in collaboration with government to address issues on the North Shore such as traffic at Laniakea, providing walkways in Haleiwa, and establishing and improving restroom facilities.

And of course, we will not forget that you enjoy the opportunity to network and socialize, so we will provide many opportunities this year to do just that.

Last but not least, we will work to increase the benefits you receive from the Chamber. So Komo mai ... come on board. Let's work together in 2006 to make this place an even better place to live, work, and play.

Aloha,
Kalani Fronda, Chairman
