>Please help us save the Queen's lands! > > >Queen Lili'uokalani created the

Queen Lili'uokalani Trust in 1909 to >provide for the orphans and destitute

children of Hawai'i. The Trust >is now under threat of losing a part of its

most important resource, >its Waikiki land, through Bill 53. This bill will

force condemnation >of the land and compel the sale of the fee simple interest

in the >land under the condos to residential leaseholders that are owner

>occupants. These Waikiki lands provide the trust with most of its >income,

which provides services to 9,000 needy and orphaned Hawaiian >children. > >At

this time, Bill 53 will only affect condo leaseholds in the City >and County of

Honolulu. It could set a precedent for the other >islands. Most important, the

loss of the Queen's lands would impact >the 10 Queen Lili'uokalani Children

Centers (QLCC) throughout the >state of Hawaii. QLCC offers services that

assist and educate >children and parents toward the goal of self-empowerment

and >independent living. They are committed to community development >programs

that encourage sustainability at individual, family and >community-wide levels.

> >What can you do? > >1. Celebrate Queen Lili'uokalani's birthday on September

2nd with us. >On Oahu, join us at the E Lili'u E March and Rally. Or

participate in >one of the commemorations being held on each island in support

of the >Queen's rally. Or wear purple, the Queen's colors. We are striving >for

statewide solidarity on this issue.

>http://qlccfriends.com/kupaa/queen/q_rally.html > >2. Come to our action

meetings: Wednesday, August 21, 2002, 7:00 pm, >Kana'ina Bldg. (between main

library and 'Iolani Palace). There will >be a joint meeting with members from

Ku Pa'a and Ilio Ula O Kalani on >Monday, August 26, 2002.

>http://qlccfriends.com/kupaa/current/ce_current.html > >3. Write letters: to

the five councilmen who are planning to pass >Bill 53. Contact your 'ohana and

friends living in their districts to >get them to call and write. Or write a

letter to the editors of the >Honolulu Advertiser or Star-Bulletin.
