"Please join me (Sunday, at 6.30pm) to commemorate the 61st anniversary of the Hiroshima A-bombing, by the Hale Halawai, with a candlelight vigil. As is appropriate, let us commemorate the Nagasaki bombing on Tuesday (Aug. 8) same time, same place... "
"With civilian lives being lost or ruined as I write and you read this, with children dying or being maimed or orphaned daily, with nuclear proliferation as yet unchecked even in our own country, I am inviting us to take a stand and to perhaps inspire one or more others to do the same, while there is still time. If possible, please bring your own candle w/ hand protector. "
"Needless to say, please invite others in the general Kailua area to join us, especially if it is geographically or otherwise inconvenient for you to attend :) "
