Over the weekend, staff from MC&A's Hawaii and West Coast offices gathered to pick up trash on Waikiki's scenic Kapiolani Park and Kaimana Beach. Together with groups from JTB Hawaii, Tachibana Enterprises and TP Transportation, the effort was a part of JTB's annual Brighter Earth Project.
The JTB Brighter Earth Project brings customers, local residents, and JTB Group employees together to conduct activities that create a bright future for everyone.
The program takes advantage of the local characteristics including cleanup activities at tourist destinations, conservation of the natural environment, and learning about regional history and culture. Through environmental beautification and human interchange JTB wishes to join with all of the people involved in "Bringing vitality to the earth and smiles to people."

๐บ MAY DAY IS LEI DAY! ๐ธ
Today, we're celebrate the Hawaiian tradition of May Day. Here are some things you may not know about this special day. ๐๏ธ
๐ธ May Day in Hawaii: Did you know? May Day has roots dating back when Hawaiians honored Lono, the god of fertility and agriculture. The lei tradition began in 1928 when poet laureate, Don Blanding, thought that Hawaiโi should have a day set aside to celebrate and recognize the custom of giving and receiving lei. Don discussed the idea with โKamaaina Kolumnโ columnist Grace Tower Warren. She enthusiastically embraced the idea and suggested that the day should be May Day and coined the phrase May Day is Lei Day.
The day is meant to focus on the special colors and flowers of each of the Hawaiian Islands so to show diversity.
๐บ Oahuสปs flower is the Ilima
Color: Golden Yellow
It symbolizes royalty and prosperity, the Ilima's golden blossoms embody the warmth and abundance of Hawaii's gathering place, Oahu. Its beauty shines like the sun over Waikiki Beach.
๐ธ Molokaiสปs flower is the White Kukui Blossom
Color: Pure White
Symbolizing: Peace and purity, the White Kukui Blossom represents the serene beauty and spiritual tranquility of the "Friendly Isle," Molokai. Its ivory petals whisper tales of ancient wisdom and harmony.
๐บ Maui: Lokelani
Color: Soft Pink
Symbolizes romance and elegance
๐ธ Kauaiสปs flower is the Mokihana
Color: Deep Green
Symbolizes unity and endurance.
๐บ The Island of Hawaiสปiสปs flower is the Ohia Lehua
Color: Fiery Red
Symbolizes strength and renewal, the Ohia Lehua's vibrant red blossoms mirror the volcanic energy and dynamic landscapes of the Big Island.
๐ธ Lanaiสปs flower is the Kaunaoa
Color: Yellow and Orange
Symbolizes friendship and adventure.
๐บ Niihau is the Pupu Shell
Color: Varied
Symbolizes uniqueness and tradition.
๐ธ Kahoolaweสปs flower is the Hinahina
Color: Silver

Let's celebrate the botanical wonders of Haw
๐บโจ The bounty of the islands were recently celebrated at an amazing "Mauka to Makai (Mountain to Ocean)" event at the Grand Wailea Resort! ๐๐๏ธ Stretching across several locations throughout the property, the special event took guests on a culinary journey, where each area showcased food and beverages inspired by its geography. Delectable seafood delights were served at the Makai "Ocean" station, while savory island BBQ favorites were served at the Mauka section.
The fun continued with guests immersing themselves in Hawaiian culture with games, face painting, and temporary tattoos for an unforgettable island adventure! ๐ ๐ด

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
๐โจ Earth Day is a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and preserve the planet we call home.
In Hawaii, the concept of "malama" is a way of life deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the islands. Malama, meaning to care for and protect, emphasizes the sacred bond between the people and the "aina" - the land you call home. ๐ฟ๐
As stewards of the land not just in Hawaii but across all of our destinations throughout the US, we aim to adopt sustainable practices that prioritize conservation and preservation. From reducing waste to embracing renewable energy, there are countless ways we can make a positive impact on the environment and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. ๐ฑ๐ง
We absolutely loved creating this custom Malama Experience for one of our groups on Oahu. โจ Reach out to us today to learn how MC&A can help you design an unforgettable CSR activity for your next program https://ow.ly/2iKj50Riyrn โจ

๐โโ๏ธ๐จ Springtime means one thing for runners ... running season! ๐ธ๐โโ๏ธ From the iconic Boston Marathon which took place this past Monday, to the Honolulu Marathon and Pat's Run in Arizona, runners everywhere are lacing up and hitting the pavement. ๐ง ๐ช Running boosts your mood, reduces stress, and increases productivity with every stride. Physical benefits like improved cardiovascular health, increased endurance, and weight management are all perfect reasons to run. ๐
Whether it's for fun, for fitness or 'just because' our MC&A runners have made running a passionate part of their lives.

๐ฉธ We proudly hosted our first-ever blood drive in memory of Hawai'i Trip Director, Leo Liugalua, bringing our 'ohana together to give the gift of life. ๐ Together, we donated blood to help those in need and spread hope to families across our community. ๐ฉธ
Did you know that when you donate blood, you can save up to three lives? Someone in the U.S. needs blood every 2 seconds and it is the most precious life saving resource you can provide. We encourage everyone to donate at their local Blood Bank. ๐ช

Today is Prince Kลซhiล Day!
๐บ We celebrate the enduring legacy of Prince Jonah Kลซhiล Kalanianaole, a visionary leader whose impact on Hawai'i resonates to this day. ๐๏ธ As a beloved prince, congressman, and advocate for Native Hawaiian rights, Prince Kuhio dedicated his life to uplifting his people and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii. ๐ His tireless efforts led to notable achievements greatly impacting the Hawaiian Islands including the establishment of the Hawaiian Homestead Act. As a Hawaiian congressional delegate, Prince Kลซhiล introduced the Hawaiสปi National Park bill in 1916, which sought to establish a Hawaiสปi National Park covering land on Kฤซlauea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island, and Haleakalฤ on Maui. ๐
On this day we honor his memory by continuing to champion equality, justice, and the spirit of aloha that he embodied. ๐ค
