Subject: PAR workshops on the Big Island
Good afternoon!
We’re scheduling our neighbor island workshops, and it looks like I’ll be on the Eastside of Hawaii Island the week of October 17th – 21st.
The workshop (“Your Voice”) is about an hour in length, and covers the Legislature and how to effectively participate in the legislative process. In addition, the workshops this year will be combined with an open ‘office hour’ for residents who may want to drop in to ask questions, pick up materials, or delve more deeply into specific areas.
I’m currently looking at scheduling workshops in Honokaa, Hilo, Pahoa, and Pahala or Ocean View. I may be calling to ask for your advice on suitable venues, and we’d really appreciate your help in getting the word out to your constituents once we get the workshops scheduled.
Would you please let your Representatives and Senators know that we’ll be visiting their district mid-October? I’m happy to add workshops for particular groups or deliver specialized workshops (following the budget, understanding conference committees, for example) as requested. Of course, if there’s another town you’d like me to add to the list, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Aloha,
Virginia
