Lahaina News to be mailed with the Maui Wrap

LAHAINA – Adding value to both publications, the Lahaina News and Maui Wrap will be mailed together starting the first week of July 2017.

With a more than 37-year history, Lahaina News is West Maui’s award-winning weekly community newspaper. Also direct mailed to West Side residents, the Maui Wrap weekly features news stories from The Maui News, classified ads and a variety of inserts. Both papers are owned by Hawaii Publications Inc.

There will be no change in delivery of Lahaina News for the thousands of West Maui residents that subscribe to The Maui News and use Post Office boxes.

Beginning on July 5, 2017, West Maui residents that currently get the Maui Wrap will receive the Lahaina News inside. The cover of the Maui Wrap will be changed to note that the Lahaina News is inserted.

The Friends of Lahainaluna Inc. presented six $1,000 scholarship awards at the Lahainaluna High School Senior Scholarship & Awards Program on May 10; pictured, from left, are: Justice Tihada, Donavon Defang, Friends of Lahainaluna Inc. Vice President Lanny Tihada, Radon Sinenci, David Kawabata and Josiah Sombelon-McEwen. Mosese Felemi also received a scholarship.

The move will save both publications money in postage and distribution. Currently, the Lahaina News and Maui Wrap are both delivered to the Lahaina Post Office along Honoapiilani Highway on Tuesdays and sent out in separate mailings.
