I think a chance to hear people who care about the community express their ideas will get other people who listen to think about that. There are so many organizations in this community that need help. The nonprofit community in Hawaii -- this is true in the rest of the country, too, but it's certainly true in Hawaii -- help to keep this community together. You don't necessarily have to spend hours and hours and hours. I wouldn't want to scare people into thinking, "My God, if I don't spend 40 hours a week doing something it's of no good." That isn't true. A couple of hours a month can make a big difference, and hopefully if people listen, they'll get these ideas and they'll hear about opportunities. We can certainly use people to call the Zoo Society and come and volunteer. Aloha United Way uses volunteers a lot. Helping Hands Hawaii does. A lot of other organizations do. There are hundreds of them out there that do good, and I think it's a way of communicating these ideas and hopefully people will listen and pay attention, and will take little bits of action to make things better.
