West Oahu Roundup

Here’s a quick look at news and accomplishments of your neighbors.

Aiea’s Jaci Agustin recently was recognized for her pageant success – she was crowned Mrs. Aiea and then Mrs. Hawaii America – by the Honolulu City Council. Part of what propelled her to these titles has been her work to promote healthy diets. She volunteers with the Live Better Together Collaborative and the Kalihi Teen Nutrition Partnership. She also educates keiki on proper nutrition through her work as a YMCA program coordinator.
