American Savings Bank has posters and subscription forms in all branches, New Eagle Café is giving away a 1-pound Maine lobster with each new subscription bought at the restaurant, and Sheraton Hotels and Resorts Waikiki is working with Waikiki Elementary to sell subscriptions. To participate in the campaign, which runs through May, go to starbulletin.com/info/bucksforbooks/index.html.
RAINY DAY WOMAN (AND GIRL)
Hotel and visitor industry workers in the 26th annual Visitor Industry Charity Walk braved rainy conditions yesterday as they walked seven miles from Ala Moana Beach Park to Kapiolani Park and back. Among those walking were Moani Potter and her 2-month-old daughter, Alena Faria. The walk has raised more than $14 million for Hawaii charities since 1978.
