*WRITTEN TESTIMONIES ARE DUE 24 HOURS BEFORE EACH HEARING

Aloha, my Federation Ohana:

               We are in for an extremely busy week with legislation and resolutions on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. This email discusses the public hearings at the State Capitol: one on Monday and two on Tuesday. I will send more information soon about a City Council resolution that will be heard on Thursday. You may notice that the Tuesday morning hearing was pushed back to 10 AM instead of 9 AM.

               For us to be successful, our members and friends will need to submit written testimonies for these hearings, and some of us will need to show up in person at the actual hearings. If you choose to email your testimonies to the committee, please include the bill number and the word "support" in your subject line. I have attached empty beginnings of testimonies that you can use if you want.
