Aloha WB Ohana,

May is almost over and once the Memorial Day weekend passes, that signifies summer is upon us and that means our Rec Deck, BBQ areas, and pool will be all very busy with residents and guests enjoying the sun, fun, and just being outside. Our expansive Rec Deck and numerous property amenities will be quite busy and I am happy to announce that we have a new operator for our Snack Bar and once they complete some renovations and improvements including a new menu, the “Banyan Snack Shack” will be re-opening just in time for those hot summer days. In conjunction with the anticipation of summer and as part of our continued efforts for improvements, we have scheduled the temporary closure of our swimming pool and Jacuzzi’s for general cleaning, service, and repairs and this will be done from 5/22-5/28.  As a reminder, we ask all residents and guests using our Rec Deck, BBQ grills, swimming pool, Jacuzzi’s, children’s play area, sauna’s, etc. to be sure to remove all personal items after use, deposit trash in containers , clean up after you are done, and enjoy yourselves but be mindful of others.

I would also like to share a few other important items for everyone to be aware of as we move forward into the summer months:

• Please minimize and mitigate excessive noise and disturbing your fellow residents. We all need to be aware of our surroundings and minimize disturbances within our units and common areas.

• If you have not already done so, please register your bikes/mopeds that are stored in WB residents cage on B1 level. We will be going through cage (and parking garage) and any bikes/mopeds or motorcycles not registered or with no identification after June 30th, will be documented, removed and disposed of by AOAO Security.

• Lastly, and maybe most important is being aware and prepared for emergencies. June 1st also signifies the start of Hurricane Season which runs from June-November for our Hawaiian Islands and we all need to be aware and prepared for this and other emergencies like flooding, medical, and fire which are all very serious events that none of us want to ever see or experience especially in a high-rise multi-tower condominium like the Waikiki Banyan. We will keep you all updated and informed of any weather, safety, or community/property related issues and concerns through emails, posted notices, and even our property website which is presently being re-designed and updated and should be back online in coming weeks.

Summer is always a time to have fun in the sun and we all look forward to enjoying everything that makes living in Hawaii so special but please keep in mind that being aware and prepared is just as important.  If you have any questions, or need any assistance or information, please con-tact us here at the property or by email at sterling@waikikibanyan.org.

Mahalo for your continued support and enjoy the summer season!
