State Mammal Certificate

Aloha Good People!

Although the signing of this commemorative certificate took place at the Pacific Island Regional Conference held on June 11th and 12th, I just obtained a copy of the certificate to post. Again this is an opportunity to THANK everyone who made phone calls, wrote letters, came to the State House and solicit whatever support we could get.

This is a GREAT example of what can be accomplished in a very short time when a group of passionate volunteers work together as a team. We all knew we were there for one reason and that is to assist in the recovery and well being of the Hawaiian Monk Seal. As our volunteer group grows and organizes I look forward to assisting in any efforts to protect this animal.

Again special MAHALO to Georgette Yaindl, Karen Rohter, Barbara & Robert Billand, Aunty Sharon, Jerry Okamoto & Patricia Boehm.

Testifying on behalf of the Hawaiian Monk Seal at the Capital was extraodinary! It was an honor to have the chance to fight for this sweet soul's existence as the State Mammal. We made a great team!!! We made a difference that day!

You're right Barbara... we kicked butt! As frustrating as the process may be it was clearly an excercise of what can happen when we unite as one..... I too feel honored to have been a part of it.
