Apology and an update

Aloha !

I wanted to send out an apology and a short update.

As you may know, we at Hawaiian Hope are about to do our 9 day walk the
entire way around the island. http://www.WalkTheTalkHawaii.org. The
event starts in 10 days. It is for National Homeless Awareness Week and
it is a Fundraiser for us.

Well, Monday morning we had some type of glitch with one of our
computers. We are still not sure exactly what the problem was, but
something went through the browser history of the computer and
triggered our mailing list to be activated 3 times in a row, roughly 50
minutes apart. We are not sure who all got the emails, and who did not.
I was the only one in the office, and was confused when I got the first
email, I thought I had accidentally set it off. And then really stunned
when I got the 2nd and 3rd emails.

So, I wanted to apologize. We are sorry about that !
No, we did NOT intentionally send you the same mailing 3 times in a row
on Monday. Fortunately, most of you know we rarely send out mailings
and mass announcements like that, so....

I do appreciate your understanding. 

Now for a small update :
It was brought to my attention about our upcoming event that some
people were thinking we expect them to walk in all 9 days of the event.
No, we do not

http://www.WalkTheTalkHawaii.org

If you want to participate (the weekends are short days) you can walk
just a few miles, or just one day if you want. Its entirely up to you. 

That misunderstanding, along with the fact that we have been competing
for advertising with 3 other much larger events, is showing on our
turnout so far. Race for the cure had their run 3 weeks ago and raised
over $130,000 (GOOD JOB Guys !) The American Lung association has their
walk the same day we start our journey around the island, and they have
a large following as well. Our main advantages is that you have 9 days
to participate with us !

With that, yes, we can use all of the extra push we can get, and in
that sense, yes... I DO hope that you go to our website, register to
walk for a day, volunteer, buy a T-Shirt or create a fundraising page,
and help us achieve our goals.

Thank you everyone !
