Dues

Why We Ask for $20 in Annual Dues

We keep things simple and community-focused. No big budget, no unnecessary spending. But your $20 a year? It matters more than you might think.

Monthly Events & Refreshments

At our regular beach gatherings and events, we provide water and drinks for everyone. It's a small touch that helps keep things fun, welcoming, and accessible.

Pavilion Rentals

We reserve beach pavilions to guarantee shade and space. We usually get the deposit back if everything's clean, but the deposit has to be paid upfront. Your dues make it possible to reserve in advance and avoid the gamble of showing up without a spot.

Holiday Gifts for Deaf/HH Keiki

Each year, we provide small holiday gifts to Deaf and hard-of-hearing keiki here on the island. It’s a simple way to make sure they feel included and celebrated.

Emergency Travel Support

If a member is invited to an important event (like MATA on Oʻahu) but can’t afford the travel costs, we want to quietly step in and help. Your dues build a small safety net for moments like this.

Website Domain Costs

We use Google Sites for our website (because it’s free and practical!), but we still need to pay annually for our custom domain name. This helps keep us easy to find and professional online.

Community Support Fund

Sometimes members have babies, experience losses, or face tough times. We want to respond with care, like sending cards or flowers, without scrambling for last-minute donations.

Your $20 = Peace of Mind

We’re not trying to build a fortune. We’re building a foundation so we can keep showing up for each other, no stress, no scramble, and no missed opportunities.

If you’re part of this community, we invite you to chip in. Because when we all give a little, we all get a lot.
