Aloha HNGEA Members,

It is a great time to be a part of this wonderful association. The Hawaii delegation has just returned from the 2007 EANGUS National Convention. We all look forward to sharing valuable information as well as experiences gained with all of you. Plans are underway to host the 2008 HNGEA General Membership Meeting on October 25, 2008. The Time and Place Committee has been working diligently to get a central site that will be accessible to all members. Get involved and contact Committee Chair Chris Fabriga at (808)448-7780 or email him at christopher.fabriga@hihick.ang.af.mil to assist with program, decorations and registration sub-committees.

Ask not what your HNGEA has done for you, but what can YOU do for your HNGEA.

Ethan T. Toyama President, HNGEA
