OHA honors volunteers

OHA held its annual Volunteer Luneheon last month, honoring a group of hard working and often under-apprec i ated members of the OHA 'ohana. Over 100 volunteers, ranging from individuals who helped staff eommittees to envelope stuffers for Operation 'Ohana, were awared certificates at the luneheon. Outstanding volunteer awards went to kupuna Elizabeth Ellis, for her work with the 'Aha Kūpuna P l a n n i n g Committee, and Richard Lum for his many hours logged for Operation 'Ohana. 'Aha 'Ōpio - OHA's legislative leadership program for high school students - won this year's Outstanding Project Award.
