Volunteers in Action

By Solomon Loo, Director Volunteer and Internship Program January, 1988, should be declared the "Month of the Volunteer." lt would be interesting to put a dollar value on the thousands of hours donated byso manyofyou for Ho'olokahi. But that is only one measure of your time. You helped bring an idea to life that will now help Hawaiians and Hawaiians-at-heart to go forward together. Every volunteered hour contributed to this major event — whether it was covering the imu, registering voters, standing by to repair elevators if needed, distributing copies of Ka Wai Ola O OHA's special issue or any of the dozens of other things you did for Hawaiian Unity Day — was very mueh appreciated. Please accept our commendation for a job well done. You deserve it!
