Outreach for Earth Day at MCBH

ALOHA Friends and Fans of the Monk Seals,
  Ralph and I were asked by Karen Bryan if we could do outreach on the Marine Corp Base in Kaneohe on Saturday, regarding our much beloved Monk Seals. Ralph and I were grateful for the opportunity to share
information, answer questions and educate with the materials we had about the ongoing struggle these monk seals face, how people should behave when around the seals and about our volunteer opportunities we have available for anyone 16yrs and older. The monk seal stamp was a big hit with the keiki and many report and entanglement magnets were given out.
  Many people inquired on the welfare and whereabouts of "KP2" since he was a temporary resident on the base Sept-Dec 2008.  Everyone including Christopher Blanchard MCBH Chief of Staff were very pleased to hear how well KP2 (Ho'ailona) is doing and being taken care of at UCSC.
  It was a fabulous day with a great turnout. A big MAHALO to the MCBH for having us at their Earthday Celebration !!!!
        Regards
        Barbara and Ralph Allen
