Aloha hou e ko Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club,
Although your Board of Directors typically tries to avoid overwhelming your inboxes and your lives with too many emails, we felt that this message was worth that risk.
In 2015, the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs took a clear position on the issue of the Red Hill Fuel Storage Facility by passing a Resolution requesting that the U.S. Navy expedite corrective actions to Red Hill and safeguard Oʻahu's drinking water. At the AHCC's most recent Convention held virtually last month, many Civic Clubs from Oʻahu and across the pae ʻaina called for us to again take some sort of action on this issue, even though a new resolution had not been submitted for us to formally discuss and vote on. On the final day of plenary, the body approved a motion urging our Association's Board of Directors to publicly restate our position on the issue, recirculate our 2015 resolution, and affirm our commitment to stand with the many others who are calling for the protection of our water.
