Cabatu met all of the new commissioners at the last July 15 meeting on Oahu. <br />She is happy to report that the following funding requests that were submitted <br />have been granted in full by the commission: <br /> <br />Women’s Health Month – Ladies Night Out, main organizer Hui Malama Ola Na <br />Oiwi (Hawaiian Health System), partners: Queens Liliuokalani Children’s Center, <br />Hawaii County Committee on the Status of Women, Hilo Medical Center, <br />Perinatal Consortium and others. Last year the commission covered shirts and <br />paper goods at about $2,000. This year the organizers are looking for help in <br />tables and chairs rental at $620 and mahalo ad in the Hawaii Tribune Herald at <br />$525. Also this year, the event has grown to include 500 of East Hawaii’s <br />neediest women. In years past, the count was 300-350. Can the commission <br />cover the $1,145 in total for the tables and chairs rental and mahalo ad? <br /> <br />Women’s Health Month – Teen Pregnancy and Prevention PSA that ran <br />May 10- 14. The East Hawaii Perinatal Consortium would like to run it in <br />September when school starts up again. Can the commission go in halfs with <br />the consortium at $600? <br /> <br /> <br />Domestic Violence Prevention Month October – Instead of doing the mall ads, <br />would you consider running the county committee on the status of women Teen <br />Dating Violence PSA again? The committee lost a significant amount of funding <br />for the next fiscal year, but loves the PSA. It paid $3,000 in the spring to run the <br />ad across the entire island and on every station. However, if the commission is <br />interested in funding this, the spots can be run on the two most popular stations <br />for about $1,500. This ad would also coincide with the YWCA’s local version of <br />Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, in addition, to the county’s Family Violence <br />Interagency Committee needing help getting the radio as on prevention out to the <br />community. <br /> <br /> 2 <br /> <br />
