Finally, a little light after the darkness of the Maui Fires that devastated Lahaina.
T S Restaurants, which owns several iconic restaurants in California and Hawaii, posted on their social media that all of their over 700 employees were accounted for and safe after the Maui Fire that destroyed much of the historical oceanfront Lahaina area on August 8th, 2023 and is considered the deadliest wildfire in the U.S. in over a century.
“T S Maui is incredibly grateful to confirm that all 724 of T S employees and managers have been accounted for and are safe. Over 100 of our employees lost their homes, some have lost family members and all have been impacted in some way. We are continuing to raise funds through our Legacy of Aloha Foundation. The foundation has no overhead, no red tape and we can issue grants directly to employees who have lost homes or been displaced. We are overwhelmed by the ongoing love for our T S family.”

In 2006, she made the journey back to Malibu permanently, the passion to preserve it was ignited. In 2012, Cece became involved in local environmental and political activism at the urging of former husband Steve Woods, a resident for more than 4o years. Together, they were involved in many high-profile environmental battles including the Malibu Lagoon Restoration Project, Measure R, Measure W, and more.
