Aloha e na hoa makamaka,
We've decided to cancel this Saturday's General Membership meeting. There isn't enough club business to warrant an hour of everyone's time – all of our agenda can either be deferred until August 28 or taken care of in this email – and we could really use the afternoon to work on HMI's upcoming ʻuniki.
No laila, here are three event reminders, a poll, and a happy scholarship update:
1. Mauna ʻAla cleanup, Sunday, July 25: We have our crew lined up, but there is still room for a sweeper/duster/wiper or two. Let us know by this Saturday, 6-17, if you are willing.
2. Oʻahu Council virtual convention, Saturday, August 7: Ken and Kilin have expressed interest; three more delegate slots are available to KHCC. Let us know by Friday, 6-23, if you'd like to participate.
3. AHCC Convention at Hilton Hawaiian Village, November 3-7: We've enlisted our six delegates, but still have openings for up to six alternates. If you are interested, please let us know by Saturday, August 28.
Meeting Poll: we are anxious to assemble live and in person at Ulupo for our Saturday, August 28, GM meeting. But we will only do so under the following conditions: 1) all in attendance are fully vaccinated and arrive wearing masks, 2) we have at least 10 participants. Please let us know by August 21 (a week before we meet) if you'd like to join us. If it's a "go," we'll plan to meet, eat, and garden at the foot of the heiau – and we will do our best to conduct the formal meeting with a hotspot, camera, laptop, and zoom link for those at home. If it's a "no go," we'll run the usual 5 to 6 pm zoom meeting from our hale.
Happy Scholarship update: We've been hoping to scrape-up a $1000 in order to bring our 2021-22 scholarship fund to the level necessary to continue awarding our Trask-Mahoe, Rose (Charlie is pictured below), and Burrows scholarships in the usual amounts. Not too easy, we thought, under the covid restrictions that prevent us from holding a Poi & Papale fundraiser. Well, we were very wrong! Donations are currently at $1100, thanks in large part to Judy Mick, Doc and Clara Burrows, and Kawena Simmons who put us over the top before we even got our campaign rolling. Speaking of which: If you would like to make a donation of your own – to help us lay a 2022-23 scholarship nest egg – we'll be thrilled to accept checks made out to Kailua Hawaiian Civic - Scholarship Fund, and mailed to:
Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club
PO Box 1123
Kailua, HI 96734
Mahalo, as always, for your attention, patience, and loyalty.
