Action: B. Ley made a motion that Chair Antonio and Commissioner L. Turalde travel to Oahu as representatives of GMAC to talk to the State House, its representatives, and senators in relation to GMAC’s Bill HB1872 and any other GMAC concerns. Seconded by G. Donev. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Cultural Practices LT: Aloha – Leomana – District 3. So for the Cultural Practices Committee this week is probably one of the more important cultural weeks of the Hawaiian culture – this is our Merrie Monarch hula week – it’s our hula festival and a lot of the times we have stories and ancient tales – we call ‘em moolelo – about one of our game animals the pig – the puaa. And so for my cultural practices this week I just wanted to encourage everyone to, if you can watch on Friday, just watch the Merrie Monarch and just pay attention cause you’ll learn a lot about Hawaii’s wildlife – we usually talk and do hula of the native wildlife, all the animals, all the flowers, all the islands, so, yeah, that’s all I have today for Cultural Practices. AA: Thank you, Leomana for the great information, um… LT: Easy homework… “Hunter, Fishing Day Expo,” September 24, 2022” AA: Yeah… Section D – it’s our Committee is was actually formed under Outdoors Day, which is actually is in June 14, I think it was, Outdoors Day, so, we not going have enough time to do anything like that so we actually changed, same Committee unless anyone else want to join the committee but it’s called Hunter/Fishing Day Expo and it’s gonna be September 24. At this time, we locked in the Butler Building facility through the County, um, and at this time we just looking, we gonna be looking for vendors, actually, that’s what it’s called – vendors – so we going give you guys and update in future meetings and Hunting/Fishing Day Expo it’s going forward finally. Like I said before, Tom Lodge, that’s why we have our funding technically, and you guys know Tom Lodge was in GMAC for many years and, ah, now his dream probably, finally going to come true this year. So, that’s the update on the Hunter/Fishing Day Expo unless we get anymore commissioners or members from the public that want to join that committee at this time. All right? OK. TN: Teresa from Kona.
