Aloha Ho'oikaika VBC Ohana,

We're being asked to write Letters of Recommendation explaining the importance of having gyms available here on the westside.

For those who have not heard, the current Waimea High School Gym belongs to the County of Kauai. There's plans currently under review to build WHS their own gym on their school property. If approved, the estimated completion date is 2026. Once WHS has their own gym, the County will then review to decide if the current gym should be available for use by the community, or, to break it down and use the property for something else.

In addition, our current Waimea Ed Center gym is also under review. The existing lease that the Waimea Christian Center currently holds, ends in December. To date, they have not allowed me to make payment or reservations for our new season as they are unsure who will continue the lease. I'm in communication with Pat Porter, COK Parks & Rec Director. He is currently reviewing what is available and if the County can help with our immediate needs. Our main goal is to find us a gym to continue in. If there's no gyms available, we will use the parks as a backup until a gym becomes available.

Parents, Players and Coaches - Your "voices" are needed!! I would truly appreciate if you could please take some time out of your busy day to write a letter to Pat Porter at the County of Kauai, Mahina Anguay, WHS Principal and Pastor Olaf, Waimea United Church of Christ, explaining why it is so IMPORTANT for 1. the WHS gym to be built, 2. the existing gyms to remain open and to be available to our community and our Club! Please submit your letters by Aug. 03 via email. Email to the following:

parks@kauai.gov
mahina.anguay@k12.hi.us
hoeckmann@hawaiiantel.net
hooikaikavbc@yahoo.com

I know there's a promising future for all of our Players. Our LOVE for the game, our Volleyball Club and Ohana will not go quiet because we are faced with adversity. We are SURVIVORS! We find a way, we adapt and we keep moving forward!!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I APPRECIATE you All!
Coach Kim
