We'll be meeting online again on the 24th, the BOD at 5:00 pm and the General Membership at 5:30. The Zoom link to both meetings is the same as always; check your inbox for the latest meeting announcement (sent via Mailchimp on Monday night, Sept. 19) if you've forgotten or lost track of that link – or you can email Kapalai on Saturday afternoon for a quick update:  kailuahccpresident@gmail.com. Weʻd like to post it here but have been advised against making that info public.​

Aloha e nā hoa makamaka, 

We hope to see you on Zoom today, August 20, at 5:30p for a General Membership meeting of the Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club. Our board meets at 5:00, and we don't plan on running overtime, but we offer our apologies in advance if you have to spend a few minutes in our lovely waiting room.

The agenda for today is attached, and approval of our July meeting minutes will be deferred until next month. 

Me ke aloha, 
Kapalai & your Board of Directors

​After a 30-day review and comment period during which our proposed 2022 C&B was made available to all me​mbers, our general membership approved of both by unanimous vote at our July 23 meeting. This is the first full revision of our C&B since 2004 and features a much needed re-organization of what goes where (many of the old Cs have been moved to the new Bs), a resolution of errors and ambiguities (we don't, for example, operate under a 501(c)4), and a trimming-away of unrealistic provisions (there is no way, for example, that a club of our modest size can expect to maintain 15 standing committees).

​It took two months of consulting, comparing, writing, and revising for the ad hoc C&B revision committee to arrive at what we think is a more streamlined and consistent governing document. One that is much more in line with how we actually operate (take a look, for example, at our modified approach to Roberts Rules of Order). The docs are posted on our Member Essentials page for all of our reference needs. Go check ʻem, go.

​Aloha e nā kini o Kailua, 

My apologies for not being able to send this out earlier in the week. Just a little reminder that we do have a Civic Club meeting today at 4:00pm on Zoom, with a few reports and one major item of business to attend to - the draft revised Constitution and Bylaws (sent out to all members on Sunday, May 22). An agenda for today's meeting is attached below. 

As usual, our BOD meets a half hour before the general membership meeting convenes. We rarely run overtime, but I apologize in advance if we keep you for a little bit in our waiting room.

Hope to see you there! 
Me ke aloha, 
Kapalai

Aloha e nā hoa makamaka,

Our beloved hulu kupuna Charles "Doc" Burrows passed away on Saturday, April 30, at his daughter Kathy's home in Leavenworth, Kansas. We shared word of his passing on our KHCC facebook page and at our last general membership meeting, but if this is the first you have heard of it, we offer Aunty Clara's comforting reassurance that his going was "very peaceful" and allowed for quiet farewells with all of his family, his moʻopuna in particular. 

Although Clara had originally asked us to extend an open invitation to all KHCC members to attend Doc's memorial service at the Church of the Crossroads, she and the church administration have now decided, out of an abundance of caution due to the ongoing spike in Covid numbers, to limit in-person attendance to a small, manageable number of family and friends. She has sent out personal invitations to those in this group, and she asks that everyone who has not been so invited please join the congregation on Zoom at 10:00 am on June 18.

Clara's daughter Kathy has provided the following link for registering for that Zoom session:

And she has also provided a Church of the Crossroads announcement and instruction page for those of us who aren't Zoom and tech savvy.

Māpuana, Kapalai, and I will represent the club at the church, and – at Clara's request –  we will be offering our "Mele Hulu Kupuna" in Doc's honor.

Me ka haʻahaʻa,
Kīhei​
