Community Calendar

Are you within 10 years of retirement? Now is a great time to start planning. AARP can help with free, unbiased education about Social Security and Medicare—how they work, key decisions you’ll face, and what to plan for.

In this session, you’ll learn about:

Social Security: how your age when you claim affects your benefit, working while receiving benefits, family benefits, and the program’s outlook.

Medicare: Parts A, B, C, and D; when to enroll; cost-sharing (including how it differs from Hawaii’s Prepaid Health Care Act); and the role of Medigap coverage.

This session will be facilitated by trained AARP volunteers. No personal financial advice will be provided. Light refreshments available.

Does your citrus have spots? Are your tomatoes looking tired? Don't let your garden woes wilt your spirits. Bring your gardening questions and plant samples to the Kauaʻi Master Gardener "Plant Doctor" booth every Saturday at the farmers market.

Whether you are a backyard grower or a small-scale farmer, the "Plant Doctor" is in to help your garden thrive.

Our Kids Saturday Night Dance Parties inspire movement, creativity, and connection. The night includes dancing, learning choreography, arts and crafts, karaoke, and an exciting Silent Disco experience.

Parents are invited to enjoy a night off while we take care of the fun! Simply send your child with dinner or snacks packed, and we’ll handle the rest. At pickup, families will be treated to a short performance showcasing what the kids have learned during the evening.

We begin with calm coloring and guided introduction activities to help children feel comfortable and connected with new friends. The evening continues with a hip-hop dance class, creative craft time, singing, and concludes with a high-energy Silent Disco complete with laser lights.

Drop-off begins at 4:45pm.

We look forward to welcoming your child for a memorable and joyful evening!
