I'm going to ask again.....What positive contributions has RJ made to our community?

No No No; I don't care about Tiffany, Tim, or the rest. I'm asking about RJ, and here's your chance to campaign.

Unfortunately RJ does not like to toot her own horn, but she has been very community oriented. Just some of the few things I know about: Organized and ran the Pahoa/Maku'u farmers markets; Operated a sorbet business in Pahoa where she gave away sorbet to the children; Organized and ran the annual Pahoa Parade for a few years; Legislative assistant where she researched many of the local needs and drafted appropriate legislation; re-vitalized the Akebono Theater and hosted a number of performances. Filmed numerous local events and interesting people and places and showed them on Public Access TV; Actively lobby for and against legislation that adversely effects the people of Puna; Taught video for a youth program; tried to set up a community garden at the Maku'u market site; and many more that I am not familiar with. But, her heart is with and for the people of Puna. Even though some things might be controversial, they all were done for what she felt has good and just for the people of Puna.

I ask that RJ please take a moment and add to this list.
