1 EAST-WEST CENTER Airport Pickup Instructions Summer 2008

2 Aloha Incoming Fellows and Affiliates! I am Mike Bosack, a second-year graduate degree fellow with the East-West Center, and it is my pleasure to be coordinating the airport pickups for this summer. Some of you I will meet in the upcoming weeks, but I look forward to meeting everybody as you all join the East-West Center Ohana ( family ). It is the goal of the EWC volunteer airport shuttle team to provide you with quick and easy transportation from the airport to your new home with us at the East-West Center. Please follow the instructions below. If you have any questions or concerns, contact me at bos_71@hotmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I will see you all soon! Sincerely, Mike Bosack
