Vote Bernard | Together we can, we will

If it's results you want, Bernard is the man. 'Together we can,' means creating an inclusive method of leadership that brings everyone involved together — discussing, creating and realizing our future.

Bernard led high profile task forces for the late former Mayor Bryan Baptiste, including the bike path and affordable housing.

He knows leadership is more than a word. It means setting a goal with plans to achieve it. It also means listening to those involved, bringing people together in support of that goal and relying on the broad expertise of others to make it a reality.

With this approach we can achieve sustainability, making it more than just a buzzword, but a set of practical methods primed to be put into action. We agree that we need Kaua'i to have a stronger economy for its future to be viable and for its residents to flourish here.

Whether that means hosting and retaining high-profile, signature events like the former PGA Grand Slam event in Po'ipu, rolling out business incentives to create more jobs, creating worker housing for farmers or long-term leases for agriculture that has Kaua'i's best interests in mind — we'll do whatever it takes.

We need to support ourselves, take care of each other, our families, our residents and our visitors and be living examples that aloha is OUR spirit.

Make it custom, make it "you" at this weekend's fund-raiser

There’ll be food, music, and a petting zoo, but don’t forget this Sunday, it’s BYOS (Bring Your Own Stuffs) to paint and customize yourself!
Some of you remember the customized trucker hats, which, of course, we’ll have. But if you’d rather revamp your old- school hot pants or bedazzle an already fabulous tee to show your support for Bernard, bring it along.
We’ll have the screens and decals, you just bring the tank top, surf shorts or anything else you can think of.
Special thanks to Mike Pemberton at Fantasy Shirts for helping us with this project, so those Younger and For Bernard could flex their creative muscles!
Hope to see you from noon to 3 p.m. at Sunday’s "Us Guy's Together" fund-raiser, Puhi Park Fronting Kaumualii Hwy., $15 per person, seniors & children under 12 free.
Buy tickets at headquarters or by phone, 246-6200.
