Here is a little about what the school:

Emmanuel’s Pre-School offers high quality child care to children ages 3 to 5 years old. The school has recently adopted an academic curriculum as well as integrated a weekly “Chapel Day” into the program. Teachers and staff provide a safe and nurturing environment, where children blossom through song, play and discovery. The school is open year round from 6:45 am to 6:00 pm. Spaces are available!! To learn more about the school, visit their website: www.emmanuelkailuapreschool.com

We recommend that anyone considering any school to do their own due diligence and research to make sure it is a fit for their child and family.

The plaintiffs consist of two separate groups, one of which chose to air their grievances in the state circuit court, and the other of which chose to file suit in Honolulu federal court. Combined, the trial groups include about twenty dissatisfied buyers, representing investors from the mainland, Japan, and Hawaii itself. The claims of both lawsuits are essentially the same – that Irongate incorrectly listed Donald Trump as a “co-developer” in its 2006 promotional brochure, when in reality Trump simply licensed his name to be used with the project. The lawsuit alleges that Trump had the option to terminate the contract at any point in time, since the real estate mogul did not have any material investment in the tower. The plaintiffs claim that their decision to invest in the development was based heavily on the brand name of Trump, which grants an inherent value to the complex. They are concerned that if Trump exercises the option to withdraw his name, the Trump Waikiki will plummet in value.

The suit was filed by former Hawaii Attorney General Warren Price, and seeks to recover the initial deposits of the plaintiffs. Price stated that “Our clients intended to invest in an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Trump project in Waikiki. They were making an investment in a Rolls-Royce. They weren’t told there’s a license and it can be terminated, at which time the Rolls-Royce turns into a GM type of car.” Irongate was quick to respond to the lawsuit, saying that “A small group of individuals filed suit today. We believe that all of the claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves. Furthermore, we intend to pursue all of our own claims against these individuals. The vast majority of buyers are moving towards closing and are looking forward to their first visit to Trump Tower Waikiki Beach Walk later this year.”

Obama Wishing Local Lanikai Crowd a Merry Christmas

When we returned from the store we let the family know that we had seen him tee off on the 10th hole. We figured he would be returning to the 18th soon. So Dale, Nina, 5 of the seven kids and I decided to walk up the street and wait for him to return. April my wife would of loved to come, but is on bed rest pregnant with twins

Word around the neighborhood had spread he was golfing at Mid Pac and there was a small gallery gathering around the 18th in anticipation of catching a look at Obama.

The secret service was very friendly and did not make us leave. They let us all know to stay where we were and not approach the green as he arrived or they would have to tackle us. Everybody chuckled at the comment. We were all very excited when we saw his golf cart coming up towards the 18th green. There was a little disappointment when the crowd realized he was not actually going to be finishing the 18th hole.

We were all watching form a distance as he unloaded the golf clubs and shook hands with other golfers that accompanied him. He surprised everybody and started walking towards us all. He came right up to us, wished us a Merry Christmas and shook everybody’s hands. My kids were very excited to be shaking hands with him and a few of them said they were not going to wash their hands.

Justin Manson’s quote in the Star Bulletin

He was a great sport when my neighbor Jan asked him how his game was. He said “it was terrible, but it didn’t matter and that his basket ball game was a lot better”.

This once in a life time experience made my kids Christmas a little more memorable.
