Dear Mayor Takagi:
Thank you very much for your letter of August 16, 2018 regarding athletes from
Hawai'i to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games that will be held in Japan in
2020.
Unfortunately. Hawai'i County has no representation among the Olympic or
Paralympic teams. I appreciate very much your invitation to visit, as always, and hope to
have the opportunity at some future time.
Thank you very much for your expressions of concern as we continue to recover
from the eruption in our Lower East Rift Zone and the recent Hurricane Lane.
We cherish our time-honored Sister City relationship with Shibukawa City, and
you are always welcome to Hawai'i Island as our dear friends.
We look forward to the next opportunity to see you all again.
County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
