PMKCA's Monthly Newsletters

PMKCA issues a monthly newsletter to its members and others who subscribe to our MAILING LIST.  The newsletter is published in the monthly issue of the Hāmākua Times, a print format paper delivered to residents along the Hāmākua Coast.  PMKCA members who enjoy writing produce our articles on various subjects of interest to our communities.  (Older newsletters will be added over time.)
