2016 GMAC Legislative Activities
March 15, 2016
Outdoor Heritage Day at the State Capitol.
GMAC was present at this Outdoor Heritage Event and distributed while there 100 pounds of Smoked
Pork packaged by Terri Napiahi of Papa Mu.
GMAC was joined in this effort by Pig Hunters of Oahu with Cathlina Caliente helping along with Harvey
Gerwig of Hawaii Rifle Association.
Nani Pogeline created a terrific display for us and we distributed a handout to each House and Senate
Office in the Capitol and gave each one some smoked pork.
We were well received and feel that we made some headway with some of the legislators.
