Dear Mayor Takagaki:
We were very distressed to hear of the widespread flooding and landslides in your city
in July, which claimed the lives of several of your residents.
It is a terrible tragedy, and we hold you and your citizens in our hearts as you work to
recover from this disaster.
Our local Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Hawaii is a sister chamber
with Higashi-
their deepest condolences.
Aloha,
Harry Kim
MAYOR
