As an islandwide conservation organization, the Maui Invasive Species Committee always seeks ways to inform the community about its work. We were able to do so at a March 9 fundraiser at Paia's Milagros restaurant, which donated a percentage of all food sales to the Maui Invasive Species Committee.
The fundraiser was a huge success due to the manager, Al, and the fabulous Milagros staff. The service was professional and efficient, and the wait staff told diners about our work. We appreciate their efforts and donation.
