Aloha Neighbors,

Thanksgiving is here. I love when familyand friends come together over ono-good food,and I appreciate the small moments taken toreflect on what you have.

In school, we are taught Thanksgiving's traditionsprings from the first harvest meal between set-tlers and Native Americans. Today Thanksgiving

is celebrated by different cultures at differenttimes of the year all over the world, but thetradition of giving thanks essentially remainsthe same. As we gather together this season,take the time to remember those around us

who need a helping hand and show your gratitude to your loved ones.

Going green-er. One of my goals is to communicate through this newsletter with asmany constituents as possible.
