Two months after the shut down

Our newest partner/ member, Pamala Hayes, has graciously donated her time and effort to beautify our plywood that some low lifes dirtied up with their trashy paint cans. She is now in the middle of painting a beautiful artful mural and will help Maui Crafts Guild stand out again. Perhaps after all is said and done, when we take the wood down we could auction it to raise money. ??

Mayor Victorino announces broad reopening of businesses and services on June 1 in Maui County

Mayor Michael Victorino announced the broad reopening of businesses and services with health and safety guidelines on Monday, June 1, in Maui County.

The County’s proposed rules and reopening date have been sent to the Governor and Attorney General’s Office for review and approval. The rules include health and safety modifications that businesses are required to follow in order to reopen and operate.

When the proposed rules are approved, the document will be available on the County’s website at MauiCounty.gov.

“The people of Maui County have done a tremendous job in reducing the number of COVID-19 cases and taking care of one another,” Mayor Victorino said. “With only a handful of new cases over the past 30 days and continued support from our healthcare workers, I believe we are in a position to allow our local businesses to reopen under health and safety guidelines.

“Businesses should not feel pressured to reopen by June 1, though, and I strongly encourage all of them to take added precautions to prevent any spread of the virus.”

All businesses would be allowed to reopen under the County’s health and safety guidelines. Businesses would also need to follow modifications in State law and the Governor’s rules.

“As we move forward, we will need the public’s assistance to prevent a second wave of COVID-19,” Mayor Victorino said. “We do not want to cancel or delay our reopening, but we will always need to make decisions based on the protection of our people – especially our keiki and kupuna.”
