HALE LANI CHRISTIAN STORE

Volunteer Opportunities
The operation of the Hale Lani store was suspended in May as members of the existing volunteer group were unable to take care of all of the needs of the store due to travel, family commitments, etc. The closure extended for longer than originally expected; however, it allowed the Vestry the opportunity to review the store's operations and finances. As with all other ministries of the Church, the Hale Lani store will be subject to Vestry oversight. After the review, a clear goal was identified by the Vestry: The necessity to implement improved financial reporting practices and to enhance the store's operating procedures.
Mary Margaret Smith has volunteered to take care of the book-keeping responsibilities for the store.
In discussions with some of the existing volunteers, we came to an agreement on new hours of operation and revised volunteer staffing needs. The proposed new hours are:
- Thursday and Friday 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
(2 x 4 hour shifts, 10-2 and 2-6)
- Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (1 shift)
- Sunday - during refreshments following the 9:30 service
 Before we can re-open, the store we need to get a cadre of volunteers to run the operation. Four people have already volunteered to help staff the store, but we are looking for another 2 to 4 (including a Lead Volunteer - see below) to fully staff the store and also cover vacations and unexpected absences.
In addition, we need a person or number of people to take on the following responsibilities:
- Selection and purchasing of inventory
- Advertising - on-line and email/flyers
- In-store display
- Lead volunteer (in addition to working in the store):- Coordinates with volunteer pool to ensure that the store is open and staffed during posted hours; and,- Main contact with the Vestry.

| ALL SAINTS' SATURDAY MARKET |

Meet and Greet with KPD
All Saints' will be providing an opportunity for the community to "Meet and Greet" members of the Kaua'i Police Department at our Saturday Market on August 13th. Nothing high profile or stressful - just an opportunity for our police to stop by the market, relax and talk story with the community, and for the community to show their support and express their appreciation for the work that KPD does on our behalf. And what would a social occasion with some of Kaua'i's finest be without coffee and donuts?
If you would like to help out with this event - just generally hanging out or providing coffee, donuts, pastries or healthy alternatives! - please get in touch with David, Jean or Janis, your friendly Hospitality Ministry members and Saturday Market coordinators. We would really appreciate the help and, believe us, no experience is necessary! If we can do this, you can do it too!

Providing Answers to Your Questions
Can I/we attend the 'Ohana retreat for only part of the time?
To fully benefit from the experience of the retreat; ideally, participants should stay both nights at Camp Sloggett. However, we realize that circumstances may not allow someone to stay both nights or even one night-please still do come. Sunday will be the fullest day of activities, fellowship, and worship.
Please note the Kauai Marathon is scheduled for that Sunday and will significantly impact traffic through Lawai. In order to properly plan for meals and activities, all retreat participants need to register-whether you are planning to stay the whole time, part of the time, or even for the day.

Revised Production Schedule
Life is busy! The ministries of the Church are thriving! So many of us are juggling multiple duties and responsibilities. Thus, sometimes The Epistle has not been sent out on Thursday evening--we apologize for those delays.
The Epistle's Editorial Team feels that it is best to revise slightly our publication schedule. Our goal each week now will be to publish The Epistle by Friday (God-willing). Submissions for consideration will still be due by Wednesday at noon. Mahalo for your support and understanding!
