With us, we have Kehaul Lanipu, Deputy Director of Department of Parks of Recreation.

Aloha chair and members of the council mahalo for your time today.

Without their support, we would not be able to make both the lay sewing and the ceremony itself a success.

So thank you very much for that.

And then also our other uh resolutions.

We do apologize as they are late.

Um we we were a little tardy in submitting our quarter three gift report.

So we did want to pull out for transparency, pull out our higher valued um gifts from quarter three uh to be heard before you today.

And also I want to mahalo you folks for uh cleaning up our errors in our in our results.

Thank you.

Thank you, Deputy.

Um, I have a question, but council members, any other questions?

Uh, who sold all the lay?

So our everybody guys or we have so we so lay events, so public will come in and so lays, they'll donate HFD, all of their stations across the island will accept donated lays from community.

Uh so lay is baked, so that we have sites at our parks, one here at Honolulu Hale, one at Kapole Hale.

That's where we invite community.

And then our botanical gardens are actually our lead on the lay sewing.

So throughout the year, they'll have workshops or drop in for community to come in and make tea leaf lay.

So that's the majority of our lay are actually lay lay because we can make them ahead of time.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, beautiful.

Well, thank you.

Mahalo to everyone who does it.

I think it's uh it's a lost art sometimes.

People forget that people have to make the lay, yeah.

They just buy the lay.
