C. Guest Speakers <br />C. Hara reported that Senator Lorraine Inouye joined CSW for lunch in Waimea on <br />December 20, 2002. It was nice that she was able to accommodate the committee <br />from her busy schedule. CSW informed her that the UHH Women's Center was in <br />jeopardy of being closed. One of the issues Senator Inouye spoke about was long <br />term care. <br />C. Hara stated that CSW members should inform CSW if they want someone to <br />share something with the group. S. Shirachi Gonsalves has been instrumental in <br />bringing guest speakers to our committee since people have been approaching her. <br />M. Andrews mentioned that she was asked to speak before the American Business <br />Women's Association next week about CSW. <br />ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />A.
