As Spring rapidly melds into Summer, my term as Presidern of Hawaiian Acres Community Association <br /> nears completion. 1996-1997 was a truly chaQenging, hectic, and eventful year with several monumental projects ' <br /> started and on thew way to completion. Before I continue, I must stop to congratulate this year's HACA Council for <br /> <br /> their hard work and diligent efforts without which many or most of these projects would be only a dream. Unfortunately, <br /> some of you fell through the cracks and the attrition rate was really high near the end, but we did achieve some stellar <br /> accomplishments (besides Hale-Bopp}. Many mahalos and special kudos to the following HACA residents for their <br /> work: <br /> © Sheldon Lehman and the Volurrteer Fire Department for responding to more than their fair share of fires this year <br /> (several on council meeting days). They also worked with Lloyd Narhnatsu and the County Fire depamnent to , <br /> obtain Fire house funding and tested "drug free". <br /> © Bill McClellan and Danny Woolverton for the endless hours of supervision for the parking lot project. <br /> © Jerome Siebenrock, Ken Cutting and the rest of the Community Watch for keeping us safer and well informed. <br /> © Kate Schuerch and Mary Guebie, and Cathy Segovia Dumond for their computer expertise and new equipment <br /> acquisition. <br /> © Kate Schuerch, Cathy McPhee and others for this glorious Newsletter <br /> © Jim Rhodes and the road committee for the great "Roads" <br /> © Karen Blue for chairing the dreaded "Bylaws" committee, <br /> © Russ Brauher, Bob and Julie Jacobson, Bill, Rhonda Nicholson and Karen Blue for planning and the survey ' <br /> results! <br /> © Caro!

Existing roads were maintained and other <br /> <br /> cross-Acres roadways were firrally opened, <br /> Sections of 1 Road were widened and a major effort was needed to keep 8 Road together until the County takes i1 <br /> <br /> This may not be until late summer 1997, so be cazeful. Our HACA office and Newsletter aze much more efficient an <br /> <br /> the amendments to our Bylaws should help the system run more smoothly. <br /> Current County Council projects include the subdivision code revisions, and the Puna Community Council has hac' <br /> some interesting forums and has presented recommendations to the State Legislature. Please get involved and give ti <br /> Area Representatives your input whether it be on road issues or other topics of concern. <br /> REMINDER: HACA ANNUAL MEETING ON JULY 20, 1997 AT Z:00 PM - BE THERE <br /> <br />
