Aloha Wailea Ekahi Homeowners,
Well, I don’t know about all of you, but I can’t believe how fast 2022 flew by. All of a sudden, it’s my son’s Senior year and we are facing his high school graduation and empty nest syndrome. Where did that 18 years go?
It’s important to note that Piilani Highway traffic is still an issue when you are coming and going in and out of Kihei. The new roundabout is almost finished but the Northbound route is still merging into a single lane. It’s best to avoid the times when we are all commuting from 7-8:30 AM and again from 3:00 to 5:30 PM. If you are trying to make a flight or dinner reservation, plan accordingly.
At our Board of Directors Meeting this week, we went over the details for the Owners week events and updated the information for Wednesday February 15th. Please note, if you haven’t already, that time was adjusted to 1:00 PM which means the Pavilion will close at 11:00 AM.
CJ Anthony, our Social Committee Chairperson, also announced that we will be hosting a Superbowl Party on Sunday February 12th. Super Bowl LVII will begin at 1:30 PM local time. We will provide some pizza and non-alcoholic beverages and encourage Owners and Registered Guests to attend.
I wanted to give a personal shout out with vast amounts of credit to our Owner, and Ekahi Webmaster, Charles Torre. If you didn’t know already, Charles has been assisting with our Owners Portal Ekahi website for a few years now. His gracious spirit and willingness to help is a tremendous benefit to the AOAO office and our Owners. More recently, Charles was able to provide a GM blog on the Ekahi Website again so you can look for my communication on projects, Ekahi events and other community happenings. I receive information from MVCB, HTA, CCM and WCA and try to include their updates as well. When you log into the portal, please click on the header titled ‘Notes from GM’ which will link you directly.

January 24th-26th we will be closing Pool 2 located adjacent to the Pickleball Court for pool deck repairs and painting. January 31st-February 2nd, we will be closing Pool 3 for the same work.
There are a few renovation projects underway and a couple more coming down the pike. When you do check the website, it’s always good to look at ‘current remodels’ which lists Board approved work. I try to provide as much detail as possible so you can better anticipate noise levels and inform your guests in advance.

Some of you may not know that Ekahi means #1 in Hawaiian. I think that’s just perfect considering we are the best property, with the best owners, on Maui. Looking forward to another great year at Ekahi!
