My coworkers just sent me $700 to pass on to my in-laws. So sweet
It could be done. Bezos gave 100M.This is the kinda stuff I wish the government response would be like, a few hours, where everyone involved is picked up and taken to "somewhere" while a mega-crew goes and fixes everything.
Like SIM CITY style
that’s awesome Joe. Is there a way to purchase another subscription basically add a year. since I have an active one now.
Joe, I got a notice the other day that my plan will be renewed on the 16th, and that is the day I will be billed. I didn't even know renewals happened automatically. Is that new? Anyway, I tried to move it up to the 13th, but I couldn't figure out how. If you can do it, can you bill me on the 13th or 14th so it will go towards the Maui Food Bank? Thanks.
I was gonna just cancel the renewal and sign up again within the 13th/14th timeframe, but I get a window when I hit cancel renewal that says, "Are you sure? Your plan will remain active until its current expiration, at which point it will not renew and expire. This process does not initiate a refund of any kind."Joe, I got a notice the other day that my plan will be renewed on the 16th, and that is the day I will be billed.

Hi @simey. Yes, the subscriptions are set to autorenew unless you choose not to renew. We're not able to change that. For a donation, you can donate directly to the food bank. https://mauifoodbank.org/. Thanks.
Very cool of you @Joe Bryant . One my favorite things about FBGs is the community and you do a lot to build that and support community efforts through your business. Thank you!
We're donating 20% of sales of new Footballguys Premium subscriptions sold Sunday 8/13 and Monday 8/14 to the Maui Food Bank. https://mauifoodbank.org/
Very cool.We're up to a little over $16,000 in sales today so that'll be $3,200 for today on the donation thing. Then whatever we get tomorrow.

I would go in October, the economy is going to need it.Here's a hard question that I don't know the answer to.
I have a friend who's got a trip to Maui planned in mid October and he's wondering if they should go.
I read something recently where a tourist on Maui was snorkeling on the far side of the island away from the fires and they were berated by people for vacationing while people were dealing with incredible trauma. I can understand that.
I read another thing from a local person there that was more along the lines of "Please give us time to grieve, but please come visit". With so many jobs tied to tourism, people vacationing there is hugely important for the local people.
Not sure of the right balance.
They should go. We have plans the first week of October and are still planning to go at this point.Here's a hard question that I don't know the answer to.

for me, if they are on the west side, don’t go. If they are on the Kihei side. Maybe. Honestly, imho, it’s too early right now to know the answer.

"they should come as long as they are not going to the west side. wailea, kihei, etc is fine. we don't want to destroy the economy here."
"but they can't expect to do activities or eat at restaurants on the west side either" "some people are clueless so if they come, they can't be unaware of the situation"
at this point i asked if kaanapali and beyond was "open"
the responses: "no" "that's where all the refugees are" "the whole west side is closed from the pali to past honolua bay" "we need the people to come. kihei/wailea and even hana are fine. they're trying to keep people employed"
it's so heartbreaking to hear their answers knowing that their home, their business, their work place are all in ashes. but they still want to prop up the rest of the island.
Just go to a different island. Any tourist going to Maui gonna just be in the way imohere are the responses from my family members:I’ll ask my family for their input.Here's a hard question that I don't know the answer to.

Not sure if your friend is still planning to go, but latest official updates are that Hawaii (including accessible areas of Maui) need tourism “now more than ever.” West Maui (except for Lahaina) will open up Oct. 8th.Here's a hard question that I don't know the answer to.

Respectful travel to any of the Hawaiian Islands, including the accessible areas of Maui, is welcomed and encouraged, now more than ever. Beginning October 8th, all travel restrictions will end and West Maui (including Nāpili, Kāʻanapali, Honokōwai and Kapalua) will be open to visitors again with the exception of Lahaina. Your visit will support Hawaiʻi’s businesses and workers that rely on tourism for their families’ livelihood, especially when you are mindful in the following ways:
- Visit with aloha and compassion.
- Support local businesses.
- Consider participating in unique volunteer opportunities throughout the islands.
- Learn about the historical and cultural significance of Lahaina but stay away from the area as a means of respect for the people and places that have been lost during this devastating tragedy.

They want/need people to come. Go to local businesses!

Thanks. Not sure. They got a ton of negative feedback for even considering back when they asked and I'm pretty sure they picked another spot.
Heading to Maui in December. Booked a month or so ago and was seeing the lowest prices for flights and hotels I had seen in quite a long time.We are returning in Dec...to Kauai. You can still get RT (Austin) for $400-$525 if anyone is considering.
It’s the best! I never got going to the same places on big trips…until a Hawaii trip. Just too nice there.After returning to Hawaii for the first time in a decade last February, we're going back again this year. Man, I love the anticipation of one of these trips.
oh dang sorry I didn't see this before as I've played all 3 and enjoyed the emerald course the most but all 3 were good.Heading to Maui on Saturday. Long needed R and R.
Anyone golfed any of the three courses in Wailea?
If you travel a few times a year, and have friends/family in the islands, this is never an issue.Residents say they get island fever. But when I go to Hawaii, I wonder why I leave.
We had a great time, of course. Big Island, staying in Kona.After returning to Hawaii for the first time in a decade last February, we're going back again this year. Man, I love the anticipation of one of these trips.
Lived on the Big Island for a year. Definitely got the rock fever. Started missing SoCal traffic.Residents say they get island fever. But when I go to Hawaii, I wonder why I leave.
Just saw that aloha mixed plate re-opened on Maui. I used to really like them.
Hoping we get star noodle back somewhere
