Medical Center Foundation hosts a Millennium celebration.

WAIMEA – The West Kaua’i Medical Center Foundation is welcoming year 2000 with

a grand celebration.

This New Year’s Eve hundreds of people are converging

on Waimea to welcome the next millennium in honor and support of West Kaua’i

Medical Center (Kaua’i Veterans Memorial Hospital). The party is the

organization’s first annual benefit with the purpose of supporting the

community’s hospital and staff.

The event includes a delicious dinner of

local specialties, dancing to the big band sounds of Dickie Hamada and the

Starlighters, a silent auction of donated goods and services, door prizes, and

champagne toast from a souvenir glass at midnight.

If you care to stay off

the roads after midnight you can spend the night in a restored sugar mill

cottage of your own just steps away from the party at the Waimea Plantation

Cottages Resort. In the morning the soft lapping of waves on a beautiful

black-sand beach awaken you.

“Could there be a better way to bring in the

New Year?” asks Don Wills, President of KVMH Charitable Foundation. “This will

be the blast of a century!”

Tickets for the event can be purchased by

Center Foundation, to P.O. Box 548, Waimea, HI 96796. Major credit cards are
