There is also a strong element of community cohesion, and local nonprofits are given free booths so <br /> they can outreach to the public. Pahoa Weed & Seed gives out free merchandise (such as "Drug Free & <br /> Proud" stuffed bears at the Keiki ID booth staffed by HPD and paid for with forfeiture funds) and anti-drug <br /> literature and A'ole Drugs bumper stickers. The Pahoa Weed & Seed Youth Council will have a youth stage <br /> at the Pahoa Neighborhood Facility where the Battle of the Bands will take place - this is to encourage our <br /> budding young musicians and give the youth an attraction of their own as an alternative to anti-social <br /> behavior (sex, drugs, vandalism, gangs, etc.). <br /> <br /> TARGET GROUP TO BE SERVED: Entire island community is invited, but especially Puna District and <br /> E. Hawaii in general. Tourists are also encouraged to attend. <br /> <br /> AREA TO BE SERVED: Pahoa Village and Puna District. <br />
