Hawaii. is joining with pride in the celebration of the Moiliili Community Centers 25th year of service. Moiliili is a residential area located about onehalf mile south of the University of Hawaii. The Moiliili Community Association was incorporated under State laws as a nondenominational. nonprofit organization in 1945. however. the centers history dates back to the early 1900s when it was originally built by Japanese immigrants as a school to help preserve the Japanese language and culture. Todays members are the direct beneficiaries of that older generation whose vision kept Moiliili Community Center alive and nourished its hopes as a center to afford opportunities for each individual to find and develop his maximum potential. Out of the dust of a longgone rock quarry. once a Moiliili landmark. has risen a center whose social and cultural programs have proved to be dynamic elements in the development of the Moiliili community and indeed of the entire city of Honolulu.
