Waimanalo Hawaiian Homes Association Celebrates DHHL Director Masagatani

Waimanalo, Hawaii.

The news of Ms. Jobie Masagatani selection by Governor Abercrombie as the new DHHL Director was received with celebratory cheers, salutations and comforting smiles and handshakes with one another as the news began spreading statewide.

"We congratulate Jobie and celebrate her appointment by Gov. Abercrombie for listening to the Hawaiian homesteaders and their leaders as the new DHHL Director!" exclaimed Paul Richards, WHHA President.

"The news travelled so fast throughout the community and internet!" responded Jodie Akau, Kanehili resident.

"I was even engaged in a lively discussion at Windward Mall watching my grandson playing in a ukulele concert about the recent appointment of Jobie as DHHL Director.  The sense of surprise by some and joy be others were evident as we kukakuka with one another, but overall, it was a great choice made!" recalled Aunty Moana Akana, WHHA Secretary.

"I'm so happy and excited that Jobie was appointed and really looking forward to working with her towards improving our relationship with the Department!" commented a kupuna resident at Kulana Kauhale o Maluhia na Kupuna in Waimanalo.

"Already the negative remarks and comments were being published even before Jobie step one foot into the DHHL building was circulating via the internet!  This only proves that Jobie is the right person to "fill the shoes" and to make things really happen at DHHL!" commented another WHHA homesteader.

We would encourage every homestead resident to send a congratulatory card, email or even a short note or flowers to Jobie "wishing her well" and "to let her know we are backing her up 200%+" as the new DHHL Director....WHHA already did on her first day sent a lei and an arrangment of flowers to welcome her back!
