WHY 'THURSDAY' REPORT?
The purpose of this memo is to send timely and,
hopefully, useful information of activity on the Big Island.
Thursday is picked for several reasons:
- - The Administration's Cabinet meets Thursday
mornings.
- - The County Council meets on Wednesdays.
- - Many events happen over the weekend.
-
- Thursday seems like the logical time to send timely
information
- from these various meetings (as well as other
ongoing
- activities) and provides for time to plan for the
weekend.
-
- If you know of others that may benefit from this
memo, please
- let us know of their names and e-mail addresses and
we are
- happy to include them. If you wish to be removed from
this
- distribution, simply 'Reply' and let us know.
