Last year the Mokuleia camp gave 319 keiki a week to remem- ber, bolstered by $143,000 from the nonprofit National Military Family Association.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This year all that funding was withdrawn, however, and a last-minute scramble ensued to find sponsors, big and small, from local corporations and the com- munity. It seemed a natural for Club Asoka, which has been sending care packages and phone cards to our Hawaii National Guard and Reserve folks overseas since 2003; it\u2019s also helped Schofield families. A fund drive to help military children via the North Shore camp experience is just the club\u2019s latest extended helping hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe would not have been as successful in these endeavors if not for the generous contributions and monetary donations from the communities of Wahiawa, Whitmore Village, Kunia and Mililani,\u201d stated club president Aki Kakazu, a retired Army officer.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the best thank-you came from the recipients. Broderick shared with his donor angels some com- ments from the happy campers, including young Christopher: \u201cI\u2019d like to thank them so I could enjoy this camp. It was the most awesomest camp ever!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its own humble way, Wahiawa\u2019s Club Asoka has brightened the summer for dozens of military kids.
