RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER TWENTY-EIGHTH AS HAWAII GOOD NEIGHBOR DAY.

This bill designates September 28th as Hawaii Good Neighbor Day to encourage residents to participate in community-building activities that strengthen local connections. The resolution recognizes the national Good Neighbor Day tradition and highlights how similar initiatives in cities like San Francisco, Boston, and Phoenix have fostered neighborhood engagement through events like block parties and volunteer projects. By officially acknowledging this day, the legislature aims to promote asset-based community development where neighbors support one another and utilize existing community strengths. The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic recognition to inspire civic participation and social cohesion across the state.
