Bishop Museum promotes Linda Chock

Linda Chock was promoted to director of Sales, Event Planning, and Visitor Services for Bishop Museum. She joined the museum in May 2006. Chock named Judith L. Bacon as Visitor Services Operations coordinator and Jana Baniaga, Visitor Services Administrative supervisor.

The Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Foundation donated $5,000 to Moanalua High School's Peer Education Program and its partnership with the American Lung Association of Hawaii's Teens Against Tobacco Use (TATU) program.

The Hawaii State Chapter of the American Red Cross was awarded a $10,000 grant from Hawaiian Electric Co. and Maui Electric Co. to support disaster preparedness and response efforts on Oahu and Maui.

The Pearl Harbor Memorial Fund received $57,000 from the Fraternal Order of Eagles, an international nonprofit organization, to build a new 24,000 square-foot Pearl Harbor Memorial Museum and Visitor Center.

It will be double the size of the current museum and become the world's primary exhibition of information on the attack on Pearl Harbor and life in the early War II in the Pacific.
