I saw my voice being heard when I watched one of the commercials on TV, and it was one of the ads that I chose!  -Cathy F., The Hawai‘i Panel Member

Hawaii Panel allows me to voice my opinion about what matters to me and my family, making a difference for the entire community all while earning points that I can redeem for many useful and exciting rewards offered by popular businesses, including cash!  -Levana Ke'Ikaika, Hanapēpē

I belong to other panels, and The Hawai‘i Panel is more pertinent to my lifestyle as it addresses local concerns and issues.  -Deb from Mililani

The prizes are awesome. I cannot believe [that I receive] a giftcard for answering questions about what I believe/like. Thank You!

Hawai'i has bats. The ōpe‘ape‘a or Hawaiian hoary bat joins the monk seal as an official land mammal of the islands. Don't worry, there's no evidence they suck blood. They do provide natural pest control since the bat consumes insects like moths, beetles, and termites.

During 1942 to 1944, the word "HAWAII" was overprinted on the backs of U.S. dollar bills. It was the only currency allowed to be used in Hawai‘i. In the event Japan occupied Hawai‘i and confiscated the money, the bills could be declared worthless by the US Government. When the threat of invasion waned, the Hawai‘i notes were destroyed in crematoriums and sugar mills. If you find these rare bills, hold on to them! They are worth more than their face value!
