RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER 2ND AS RICHARD "BUFFALO" KEAULANA DAY.

This bill (SCR 232) designates September 2nd each year as "Richard 'Buffalo' Keaulana Day" in Hawaii. It honors Richard Keaulana, a renowned surfer, Makaha's longtime chief lifeguard (1969-1990s), and cultural figure known for his surfing legacy and community leadership. The resolution is purely commemorative and specifies that this day is **not** a state holiday. It directly affects Hawaii residents through this annual recognition of Keaulana's contributions to surfing, lifeguarding, and West Oahu culture.
