Ho‘okuleana

Ho‘okuleana – it’s an action word; it means, “to take responsibility.” We view it as our individual and collective responsibility to: Participate … rather than ignore; Prevent … rather than react and Preserve … rather than degrade. This is not really a program, it is an attitude we want people to share. The world is changing; let’s work together to change it for the better.

Cannon Club

Fort Ruger Military Reservation was established at Diamond Head (Lēʻahi) in 1906. Also at Fort Ruger was the Cannon Club, a social club with a restaurant built in 1945 for the officers and their families. The conclusion of World War II made the coastal batteries obsolete; in December 1955 the majority of the Fort Ruger land was turned over to the State of Hawai‘i – the Army kept the club.

The club, however, could not keep up with the times; the Army had to close the Cannon Club in 1997 as a result. For a few years, there was hope that the restaurant could reopen under private contractors, but the funding for the project fell through; the state acquired the property. It is destined to be KCC's Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head.”
