Our History

The Hui O’ Na Wahine (Club of the Women) is an all-ranks club serving the 25th ID and the Schofield Barracks community.  It began in the 1930’s and was originally an Officer’s wives club.  Today Hui membership is extended to spouses, active duty, retired military, DOD civilians, soldiers, and civilian employees.

Our logo resembles a quilt pattern and incorporates many aspects of the origins of the 25th ID in Hawaii.  The four taro leaves represent the birthplace of the 25th Infantry Division as well as the basic Hawaiian root life .  .  . family, ohana.  The lightning bolts in the taro leaves signify the lighting conquests the Division won throughout the Pacific during World War II.  The Division patch is facing out in all four cardinal directions symbolizing the missions and deployments by the Division today which are performed all over the world.

The pineapple, a universal symbol of hospitality and aloha, is included as a reminder of the enduring relationship between the Army and the Hawaiian people.  The quilt pattern’s core is an eight-spoke, cogged wheel representing U.S. Army Hawaii’s eight major subordinate commands.  The eight spokes surround the hub, which is the U.S. Army Hawaii “H” patch, symbolic of all encompassing support rendered the Division.  It is also the core of our Army community, the foundation for our family support and includes our indispensable Army civilians.  The entire design is surrounded by eight waves, symbolic of our island location.

Reverence and respect for the ocean have always been a part of Hawaiian society dating back to the ancient Polynesian voyagers.  The eight ocean waves tie together the eight islands that complete the state of Hawaii just as they tie the Division and U. S. Army Hawaii to the Hawaiian people.

This exclusive quilt design has been beautifully reproduced in wood engravings, glass products, clothing and a variety of other items that are for sale by the Hui O’ Na Wahine.  We’ve had the logo printed, stitched, and etched on many different items, including golf shirts, T-Shirts, aprons, crystal, mugs, tote bags and more.  We carry seasonal logo items too.

Proceeds from the sale of Hui logo items are dispersed into the community through our Scholarships and Welfare Grants.  Hui logo items can also be purchased at the Thrift Shop.  For more info please email info@schofieldspousesclub.com.
