Item #2 Teppy Mountain LLC <br /> Given at WPC 2-6-25 Hearing <br /> 2-5-25 Pearl Simard Testimony <br /> From: Pearl Simard <br /> To: W PCtesti mony <br /> Subject: TESTIMONY RE: FoF <br /> Date: Wednesday, February 5,2025 6:24:05 PM <br /> To whom it may concern- <br /> I was recently lucky enough to participate in the Falls on Fire event that took place in 2024. I <br /> am writing to express my deepest and sincerest support for this event and to encourage you to <br /> consider the various benefits this event offers our community. <br /> First,this event is important for local artists and performers. By providing a safe space for <br /> artistic experimentation, this event allows for networking, and promotes collaboration between <br /> artists. This develops and elevates the practice and expression of local art, elevating the <br /> cultural contribution of Hawaii to the world. <br /> Second, this event is important socially to our community. The dance community is an <br /> important part of the community at large. It is a group that includes professionals of all kinds, <br /> people who work hard in their lives to support the infrastructure of our community. We <br /> deserve a safe local place to experience the communion of dance and art. These are not <br /> thoughtless unappreciative or destructive people. These are creators, healers, artists, <br /> educators... people who in fact care deeply for this place and the people in it. <br /> I would like to share a personal example of how this event positively impacted my life and the <br /> wellbeing of my community. Through networking at this event I've enriched my own life, I've <br /> connected with people who are in my neighborhood, and experienced the true flowing of <br /> aloha. This event embodies the state spirit fully and whole heartedly. <br /> Thank you for your time <br /> Pearl Simard, RN BSN <br />
