Fleetwood, who lives on Maui, said he was honored to serve among such a great group of civic leaders. “MMMC has made great changes and additions recently, and plans more to serve our community. I am committed to help bring awareness and support here, and in my own small way, contribute to bring health-care to the next level on Maui,” said Fleetwood.

MMMCF Board President, Saedene Ota said she was thrilled with the addition. “His creativity and enthusiasm for giving back to our Maui community will be a great asset, for not only the board, but for healthcare on Maui as well,” said Ota.

The muti-Grammy Award winning artist and inductee of to the Rock n’ roll Hall of Fame is no stranger to the island music scene here on Maui. His Mick Fleetwood Island Rumours Band was developed in collaboration with island musicians, creating a unique blend of rock and Hawaiian music. Fleetwood is also expected to open a new restaurant, bar and night club in Lahaina, Maui on Front Street, in the Summer of 2011.

Fleetwood is among a class of six new members of the MMMCF board. The list includes:

  • Rian P. DuBach, Vice President, American Savings Bank;
  • Patrick L. Ing, CPA, President & Owner, Patrick L. Ing CPA Inc.;
  • Galen Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Manager of Commercial Banking on Maui, Bank of Hawaii;
  • Kimberly A.B. Sloper, Esq. Deputy Corporation Counsel, Department of the Corporation Counsel - County of Maui and
  • Trevor N. Tokishi, CPA, Executive Vice President, Valley Isle Community Federal Credit Union.

“We are extremely proud and pleased to welcome all of our new board members to the hospital.” Ota added.

The Maui Memorial Medical Center Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that raises funds to support the Maui Memorial Medical Center in Kahului. The facility is the only full-service, acute care hospital on the island.

The foundation works each year to raise funds for patient programs, equipment, medical education, capital building and special projects.

@jblogg Jeremy Welt SVP of New Media at Warner Bros Records had the opportunity to hear a playback yesterday of new music from Stevie Nicks... Was it the whole album?  I wonder what his thoughts are on what he heard?



Things are moving forward!

According to a recent Facebook posting by Eric Gilliom, he'll be playing New Years at Mala's in Wailea again this year along with Mick Fleetwood, Rick Vito, Alice Cooper and possibly Carlos Santana... as well as a few others...

The decade where Fleetwood Mac ruled the world! Cars were the size of aircraft carriers and no one really cared about living, they cared more about L-I-V-I-N-G...

THE WAITING IS THE HARDEST PART!

UPDATE ON THE STEVIE NICKS ALBUM...
It's been a long year since February, 2010 when we first caught wind that Dave Stewart was writing with, playing on and producing a new album for Stevie Nicks... But in many ways the time has flown by. Now, just as Winter begins, we all await Spring and the big day of release.

Latest Twitter post from Producer Dave Stewart:

MICK FLEETWOOD CHECKS IN AT THE ROXY, BACKS UP STEVEN TYLER

Mick Fleetwood along with Steven Tyler Dave Navarro and whole host of others at CAMP FREDDY, in LA at The Roxy last night (Dec 10, 2010). Mick played drums for Steven Tyler's version of "Rattlesnake Shake".

"CAMP FREDDY is an 'Occasional Happening', a freak of Hollywood nature. What happens when we get together and play is anyone's guess. Surprise guests, lounge singers turned heavy rock superstars, some of the world's greatest guitarists playing three chord punk tunes. I mean, who knows what will happen at the next show? It's all about the music, the motivation and, above all, the fun!! What we all got into the business for originally. We play some of the greatest rock and roll songs ever written, have a real laugh doing it, and invite other artists that we know and respect to play them with us. It's the real spirit of Rock and Roll.' --Billy Morrison, Guitarist-Camp Freddy."
