Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 7 <br />March 16, 2006 <br />MEMBERSHIP - VACANCIES <br />Chairman Highley shared concerns about filling vacancies to avoid the lack of quorum at <br />future meetings. Since it's been difficult filling the American Legion vacancy, there may <br />be someone in the Hilo Post interested in serving. The Independent slot must be filled <br />by the Mayor. Other vacancies include Veterans of the Vietnam War - Wendell Kekumu <br />will be renewed, awaiting paperwork. There is also a vacancy for a representative from <br />the Korean War Veterans. <br />Chairman Highley mentioned filling the DAV vacancy (however, representative Roy <br />Hinokawa is serving a term which expires in 2007). <br />Louis Kaoiwi - Farewell - Thanks <br />Past Chairman Louis Kaoiwi expressed his sincere thanks to Director Engelhard and <br />other members for their help during his term on the Veterans Advisory Committee. <br />Mr. Kaoiwi's term officially ended in December 2005. He shared that he may attend <br />meetings from time to time as a concerned citizen. <br />MAHALO TO PAST CHAIRMAN AND MEMBER LOUIS KAOIWI <br />Mr. Mukai asked that the Committee show their appreciation to outgoing Chairman Louis <br />Kaoiwi who served for many years during the April 20't' meeting.
