Mahalo to all of you who have sent Christmas contributions to BAH for our 2008 campaign to open gates and push for new public beach access laws! If you would like to send a donation, please make checks payable to "Beach Access Hawaii" and mail to:
Beach Access Hawaii

We'll be adding a PayPal link to this page shortly for those of you who prefer to do it online... make donations, that is.
State Sen. Gary Hooser from Kauai just sent us an email last week saying he will be introducing new legislation that he feels will help protect beach access. He'll be sending a draft soon for BAH to review, and we're hoping our Oahu officials will get on board too.
But first, mark your calendars for Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008 -- Groundhog Day. From 10 AM until noon at key locations, from Kailua to East and West Oahu to the North Shore, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island, we'll be staging sign-waving demonstrations to publicize the need for stronger County and State laws to protect beach access for the people of Hawaii.
That's why we need your dollars -- to make signs, print hand-outs, and start a legal fund to acquire more rights of way on every island. And we need your commitment. If you want to help organize the Groundhog Day protest, please email me at figeli001@hawii.rr.com or call me at 262-5073.
Have a great New Years, and enjoy the Sugar Bowl. Go 'Bows! Yeah, I know they're the Warriors now, but I'm Old School.
