Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Page 8 <br />September 20, 2007 <br />Vice Chair Penny Fox said she viewed the very sentimental video with DAV Chapter 9 <br />and strongly recommends members talk to Barbara Cooper to set something up. <br />West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery Expansion and Development Association <br />Chairman Highley said that the WHVCEDA meets monthly and last month there was a <br />discussion on the water issue at the West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery. It was suggested <br />that a grant be secured to dig a well to supply its own water. Because if there will be turf <br />there, his understanding is that when one row of sprinklers runs for 15 minutes, 330 <br />gallons of water goes out. If there are 4 sets of sprinklers and they all run for 15 minutes, <br />we would be up to the allotted gallons. If we expand the cemetery there wouldn't be <br />enough water to add restrooms or water. It's very important for the cemetery to have a <br />water supply or a commitment from Kukio who may not be monitoring the amount of <br />water coming in. The reason we know how much water is being used is because we set <br />our own meter up. WHVCEDA constantly works on trying to improve the situation and <br />they are trying to work with VA and OVS in order to be a part of the development of the <br />cemetery. The last time DAGS sent out a drawing of the master plan there was no space <br />for the development of the county sponsored green house and area being developed by <br />WHVCEDA. Chairman Highley would like to know who to get the message to that the <br />Association would like to be a part of expansion project. WHVCEDA is a non - profit <br />organization and has a grant writer who has obtained funds to improve cemetery. <br />Association would like to coordinate with OVS and DAGS and ask them to give group <br />more recognition. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Memorial Service - Americans of Japanese Ancestry <br />Mr. George Mukai announced that on Sunday, September 30'`' at 10 am there will be a <br />Memorial Service for Americans of Japanese Ancestry at Veterans Cemetery I. <br />EX- OFFICIO MEMBERS <br />No Report. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Meeting adjourned at 4:00 pm. <br />NEXT MEETING <br />The next meeting will be held on October 18th. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />NathalielScwitos -, Secretary <br />
