Justin Burgo; Kona Sailing Club representatives, Scott Garrett, Luci Verrue and Marc Senton; Honokohau Harbor Group representatives, Les Thuet and Jack Ross; and photographer, Nita Lopez also volunteered. The flag poles were donated by Lex Brodie’s.
The project was a year in the making, and was spearheaded by Thuet.
