WHEREAS, as Its nickname "The Aloha Connection" says, 'OHANA has also solidified a strong bonding between Hawai'! and Las Vegas, where nearly 400,000 islanders make their annual pilgrimage for entertainment and where more than 25,000 former islanders now reside; and
WHEREAS, In Its fun-reading format to Inform and entertain, it has embraced continued growth In annual readership in Hawan and especially the Mainland, which has a constant positive, psychological effect to mainstream America as well as former islanders that the 50'" State Is "home" for a multitude of reasons; and
