(808) 935 -0555 <br /> December 21, 1998 <br /> County Council Chair <br /> Mr. James Arakaki <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Re: Resolution 328 -98 Statewide Marijuana Eradication Grant(FEd). <br /> Dear Mr. Arakaki and fellow County Council People, <br /> My name is Joslyn Tamura and is the current President of the <br /> Lehua Jaycees. We represent over 150 members in our organization. <br /> We are a young persons leadership organization, offering training <br /> and projects, while assisting our community. <br /> The Lehua Jaycees fully support Resolution 328 -98, which <br /> authorizes the County of Hawaii to enter into an agreement with <br /> the United States of America for a statewide Marijuana eradication <br /> grant. <br /> Our organization does many different projects for and within <br /> our Hilo community. The children of our community are one <br /> important factor. <br /> In 1998, we have conducted two worthwhile projects. The first <br /> was a Teen Dance held at the Butler Building. It was put together <br /> with the Hawaii Community Policing and the Hawaii Alliance of <br /> Public Nursing. This event was billed as and Alcohol, Smoke, <br /> Drug and Gang Free. We had almost 200 students attend this dance. <br /> The second project, which we met with the same groups as well <br /> as representatives of students, was a beach day, dance at Coconut <br /> Island. We had overwhelming support from our community and local <br /> businesses. From donated food and juice, snacks, canoes, local <br /> bands and numerous prizes, we were able to provide a safe <br /> environment for our youngsters. Although the weather was foul, <br /> we had over 30 students attend in the rain and wind. <br /> We look forward to working with these organizations again, to <br /> help promote a drug, alcohol, smoke and gang free environment. <br /> Thank You for your time and consideration. <br /> Yours In Jaycees, <br /> RECEIVED <br /> fins- By <br /> � <br /> — " "" Joslyn Tamura, President <br /> 9 Oki/ a ih----___a <br /> ��Gounty Council <br /> Karen Kinoshita, Executive VP <br /> a Goina.
