[HIham] Details on Honolulu Festivals Parade, March 16

[Ralph Toyama]

Apologies in advance for multiple copies of this message.

I have further details about amateur radio support of the Honolulu 
Festivals parade on Sunday, March 16 in Waikiki.

Assignments will be made by the Nelson Fujio, the parade coordinator, 
based on the number of operators we can provide.  Those of us who do not 
speak Japanese will be teamed with a translator.  We will likely be 
assigned to positions along the parade route.  Please let me know if you 
don't need a translator.

Nelson has asked that we meet at the pier where the floats are assembled 
at 2:45 pm on the day of the parade.  The parade starts around 5 pm, and 
will last for several hours.

I need to get orders for T-shirts in as soon as possible, so even if 
you're only thinking of participating in this event, please let me know 
your shirt size by tomorrow, Friday March 6.  Otherwise, there is no 
guarantee that you will be able to get an event T-shirt.

Nelson will be holding a briefing on Wednesday evening, March 12 at 5:30 
pm at the pier.  This meeting is primarily intended for the leaders of 
the various groups who will be participating in this effort.  But if you 
are interested in attending, please let me know as soon as possible, as 
dinner will be provided and I have to call in with a head count.

I can be reached by e-mail at rtoyama@hawaii.edu, or by phone at 
455-0682.
