KIA News

What a pleasant surprise to see that KIA’s newest member Secure Parking Hawaii LLC was the parking company at the Kaimuki Municipal Lot, and they are “powered by FLASH,” another KIA Member. As much as I (Sherry Goya, KIA Executive Director) like to see and talk with parking attendants, the parking procedure at this Kaimuki lot was effortless, easy, and secure.


To help you fight inflation, KIA member Logos Bookstore of Hawaii has USED books that are $1 - $7 each. For the month of July, buy 2 Used Books and the 3rd one of lesser value is FREE! They have a Used Book Cart in the front of the store and a large Used Book Section in the back of the store. Used books are restocked almost every day, so check out our selection every week!



KIA Referral Program

Since the last newsletter, two current KIA members referred two NEW members. Since Nicole Nakano, Flash Parking, Inc. is on the KIA Board, her referral of Secure Parking Hawaii does not count for a discounted membership dues in 2024; however, Integrity LLC will receive a $40 discount for their 2024 KIA membership dues for referring Better Homes & Gardens Advantage Realty - Kakaako. If Integrity LLC refers another NEW member, they will receive another $40 credit, making their “small company” dues of $80 waived for 2024. Mahalo to Flash Parking and Integrity LLC for their new member referrals. The June KIA newsletter has the 2023 KIA Membership Referral Program form OR email Sherry Goya, KIA Executive Director, at sgoyallc@aol.com when a new member referral is made and she will email the form to you.



Condo Owners Prepare for Hurricane Season

Make your apartment a fortress! Hurricanes can do a number on your windows and walls, but you can take some steps to keep the rain and wind at bay.


Store everything you need to be comfortable for a few days. Create an emergency prep bag. Make sure it includes:


If you have a dog, cat, or other beloved pet, make sure you have an emergency prep bag for them, too! Also, locate nearby shelters or hotels that can accommodate both of you.


Charge your devices. This includes cell phones, laptops, tablets, and, yes, even the devices you use to charge your various devices.


If you are a renter, request preventative maintenance from your landlord. Whether a renter or owner, if you have a leaky window or other outstanding maintenance issue, fix them now before things get serious.


Unplug electronic devices (like desktop computers) and appliances (like coffee makers and toaster ovens) if you lose power. Doing so will help prevent an electrical surge from damaging them when power returns.
