Lt. Gov. Josh Green substituted for Governor David Ige at last year’s Proclamation event at the Ceremony Room.
May 13, 2020, Kailua, HI. Both the State Capitol and Honolulu Hale are closed to the public because of health requirements due to the current pandemic.
On May 8, Friday, Governor Ige’s Proclamation of May, 2020 as ALS Awareness Month was received via email. The hard copy was not available although it had been requested. May 8 would have been the day when the ALS Community in Hawaii attends a solemn celebration at the Ceremony Room at the State Capitol to receive the Proclamation, a tradition that was started 7 years ago.
Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s Proclamation for May, 2020 as ALS Awareness and Families Appreciation Month was brought to the Honolulu Hale front steps by Dana Kubota to a waiting Divina Robillard. Both were observing proper social distancing and wearing face masks. Dana is a staffer in the Office of the Managing Director, Roy Amemiya.

Much mahalo to the Governor’s and Mayor’s Staff members for their personal attention to our requests.
