Our organization has done many fundraising efforts in the Waimea community, predominantly benefitting graduating High School seniors with scholarships. One of our efforts, however, targets community groups and people who help keep Waimea a safe and wonderful place to live. We call this our "Happy Dollaz Fund" and members donate to it when a happy event happens in their lives. In 2003 these items; 150' of rescue rope, a Pelican Headsup lite, and a CMC Rescue Radio Harness, were purchased and due to oversight were never delivered. I hope that these items will still be of use and I will be attempting to deliver them to Capt. Chun at the Waimea Fire Station. Our apologies for our tardiness. With much respect and aloha for what you do in our community, Mahalo, Sharon Gilbert President Kancelani Chapter ABWA sEP 2 s 2005 P~?' ~~'lv~ ~ c~vtat~'a~ UaJ~d ca- ~a ~ ~'~S~ ~44~ SEP S 2005 ~Ui (2 may I ~ ih~i~~- ~P~juP~~iti't~`1 Va~th JJ /Yr7„Ir~
