2 Association ofhawaiian Civic Clubs P. O. Box 1135 Honolulu, Hawai'i Aloha! Kakou! I extend Greetings and Welcome to all ofthe delegates, alternates, members, and guests to the 43 rd Annual Convention ofthe Association ofhawaiian Civic Clubs. Your Convention Committee has planned an exciting week long, event that is designedto address the interests ofeveryone. During this week, we will be holding interesting workshops, hearing from various guest speakers, ariddeliberating a host ofresolutions. Hawai'i Maoli will be conducting oral history interviews ofour Kupuna. Hawaiian organizations have been invitedzo.set up booths to provide information about their activities. For the first time we will be hosting a Kupuna Conference The convention theme is Ho'omau I Ka Pono (Continue upon the pathway of righteousness). In my view, this theme is a very appropriate one. Everyone is well aware ofthe various efforts now taking place to diminish current programs benefiting our people. Weare in a constant struggle to protect and preserve our Hawaiian Cultural practices.' Itseemsthat everywhere wefl:un;we ar~ cqpftontedwitheffortst() attackour very existence. We are always on the defense, always forced to protestvarious actio~ that threatenus. We mustdesignways and means to stop and preventtheseattacks. Many people feel that-the mosteffective way is for our people to form an entity to represent usthat is outside ofgovernmental control. In that regard, I have invited as many Hawaiian Organizations and individuals as I could to join us in a special session on Wednesday to discuss unity and the process for forming our own governmental entity. Wouldn't it be exciting for us to conclude our convention with a plan to take to our people that can be supported by the major proponentsofself-determination. It is myhqpethatwewill be able to putaside all personal agendas and work together to develop a plan for the people... No matter what happens I believe that we must resolve to join together, to persevere, to not give up, to Onipa'a and to Ho'omau I Ka Pono. Finally, I urge everyone to take advantage ofall ofthe activities available to you at this convention. Please work hard, but do not forgetto socialize, make contact with old friends,meet new people and enjoy Las Vegas and always remember that: OUR CAUSE IS A JUST ONE! OUR TASK IS AN HONORABLEONEI Charles Rose, President

Mahalo Norm. Anchorage no ka oe! Summer time is generally fishing time, when everyone tries to get plenty salmon. Na Keiki members fished a lot, but Na Keiki directors still took time to hold a board retreat in August. Hope 'Elua lolani Chun led the directors to plan and develop an advanced hula team, "Na Keiki 0 Hawai'iki A Alaka 0 Polynesia Ta Pa Hula," and to prepare kumu to teach mo'olelo, olelo and hula at Hawaiian Cultural School which started October 12. On October 18, Na Keiki held a luau and Hawaiian music jam at American Legion Post 28 to help raise funds to send the advanced hula team to the AHCC convention in November.

Our learning has been continuous as our enthusiasm grows. We initiated our new officers in January of this year who brought with them fresh new ideas and approaches. Our committees, including programs, special events, fund-raising, and scholarships have developed strength and momentum showed a 22% increase of our membership roster, wonderful club programs, and excellent fundraisers in new venues. As a club we volunteered our support with a statewide community health fair with 25% of our club members giving oftheir time. Fund-raising activities were expanded to include working food booths at Bandimere Speedway, and selling shave ice at our new favorite venue, the Dragon Boat Festival. As you might imagine, there were many locals there to devour our cool treat resulting in a sell out two hours before the close of the event. We will be there again next yearwith more ice and syrup! One of our two major events for this year was the start ofour Papa 'Olelo series. Our class met from January to June, with a couple of refresher courses during the summer. Fall classes began in September. We hope to expand our offering in 2003 opening up our classes to more adults and initiating a na 'opio program. 'Olelo has certainly challenged our nontraditional students! It has been many, many years since many of us have taken a language class. We have found Papa 'Olelo to be amazing, difficult, and so rewarding. We owe this wonderful opportunity to the resources of'aha Punana Leo, the leadership of Lynn Melena, and last but never least, the excellence offered by our Kumu, Puahau Aki and Andy Cowell. Even their four year old son, Kawena, offers teaching assistance to very confusedaunties and Uncles! Another highlight of 2002 was our first 'Ohana Retreat. Val Ching flew to Denver after instructing in California. Mahalo to Ainah~u 'ohana for helping us make the connection with Uncle Val. His amazing instruction included making kapa,'uli'uli, nose flutes, stamping which were used to adorn kihei, and much, much more. Uncle Val also offered nightly tutoring to his assistants, who were even more delighted with his wonderful stories, more education of na mea Hawai'i, and his great sense of humor. We anxiously look forward to his next visit to Colorado. Mahalo Uncle! As we prepare for an even more exciting 2003, we count our blessings for the incredible year we have had, the strength of our leadership, support and love of our families. Ho'omaika'i kakou!

My heartfelt mahalo to Gwen Montibon and Clarence Kelley who chose to retire instead of running again, and to three Council Directors Piikea Tomczyk, Shelly Hao-Tamon and Ruth Holt who fulfilled their terms of office; and to the unsung heroes of any organization, the secretaries, Gladys Rodenhurst and Chrissy Anjo. The work of Oahu Council this past year has been challenging,to say the least, and could only have been accomplished by the cooperation and good will of its dedicated members, because each of us belongs to a club that has its own projects and functions.

Club business reports and board actions are submitted to the members for approval and all are kept informed by the club's monthly newsletter. The continuing poor economy of the State made fundraising both more necessary and difficult.

A highlight ofthe year was a pupu and cocktails bash at Ocean Restaurant, where song, dance and a lively auction raised nearly $4,000 for the club's general fund. Keeping its commitment to promote and encourage education, the PKHCC awarded $18,500 in scholarships for post-high school education and also contributed another $2,000 to the Hawaiian language immersion schools. Our continuing closeness to Kuhio Elementary School was strengthened by choral group participation in school events and the donation of school supplies. The choral group also brought pride to the club with performances to celebrate Prince Kuhio Day at Mauna 'ala and his namesake federal building, and pay homage to Queen Lili'uokalani at 'Iolani Palace and Hale'iwa Church. Strength, pride & friendship keep us Ku hio! Even the sadness of losing members Myron "Pinky" Thompson and Katherine 'Ilima Bishaw inspired us with all they shared and will always always contribute to the Prince Kihio Hawaiian Civic Club.

Vacancies in our officers' positions are due to implementation ofour constitutionand bylaws wherein.ifan officer misses three consecutive monthly meetings without notification ofthe executive board, the office is immediately considered "vacant." There is no expressed interest of prior officers to return to their offices a \)f August 25, Officers who vacated their positions are still current members of the club with the exception of the immediate past president. During the last quarter of 2002, nominations will take place for leadership positions for another two year term. If no positions are filled, another option is one to two people in representation or else risk "inactivity." During this time, we will be meeting with a representative ofthe State ofhawai'i Historical Preservation Division on curatorship or stewardship responsibilities in our North Kohala Community. Discussion of working along side Kamehameha Schools to J take full responsibility for historic areas under a "legacy" program has been expressed by our club representative and newest member, Mr.Fred Cachola. With all activities commencing in 2001 through present, it is apparent exhaustion has set in for our club. Receiving approval from the I.R.S. on our exemption as a 50l(c)(4) organization is great news to report-our hard work for all our activities and contributions to our community. We continue to be in participation ofany informed community meetings which threaten the lifestyle and historical sites ofour native Hawaiian people and community at large. We started a scholarship fund for Kohala High School graduates, but found students who applied were inept to meet the basic criteriaof"an essay format" and proper school administrators were informed. -We look forward to our "Ho'omau Ke Ala Pono" to provide awareness to preserving culture and history of Kamehameha's birthplace here in the district of North Kohala, Big Island ofhawai'i.

But the fact is, all of us have it. Every time we imagine the future, every time we feel hope, every time we dream things that never were and ask...why not? Think of someone whose vision has impacted your life. The colleague who chose to take the road less travelled because of the unknown possibilities. That special teacher who encouraged you to reach/for your dreams, or maybe your parents or your kupuna, who believed you could do anything... THAT'S VISION. It has almost nothing to do with the maka (eyes) and everything to do with the mind.

It's the same reason only two members attended last year's convention on O'ahu. Most importantly, however, is that we were represented. Health problems along with aging are inevitable, but we were determined to solve our membership problem by the end of the year. Then 10 and behold! by the end of June we increased our membership by 12 and are anticipating a few more by the end ofthe year. After years ofsteady decline, the new members were welcomed with open arms. It's a real blessing especially for our kupuna, to have younger members on board who are eager and willing to pursue the goals set forth in our constitution. In April, members played a major role in the Laupahoehoe School's 7th Annual Community/School Service Project held at Laupahoehoe Point. "The purpose of this event is to ensure that Laupahoehoe's rich and significant cultural, social, and historical heritage is passed on to the younger generation. The preservation of this legacy is to ensure our school's identity with our community:' William Choy Hee, charter member, Immediate Past President, and oldest living memberofourclub (95) was honored at this event for his contributions to the community. As a note, Mr.Choy Hee has been our Immediate Past President for the last 27 years. We were proud to announce the awarding of four scholarship grants this year. The recipients were all graduates of Laupahoehoe High School pursuing various fields of study. These awards bring our total number ofgrants over the past 30 years to approximately 120. Incompliance with Resolutions urging Hawaiian civic club members to participate in cancer, awareness programs, 'f,"! :.: we hosted an educational symposium in June, conducted bydr. Momi Ka'anoi, Investigator for 'Imi Hale, a Native Hawaiian CancerAwareness, Research and Training Network. We were saddened by the loss of Lois Laho on July 7th. She had been a dedicated member for nearly 30 years. Although of non-hawaiian ancestry, she was truly an Hawaiian at heart. We will surely miss her. In June, we invited an 'Imi Hale team to conduct early detection screening for colorectal cancer. The team included Dr. Kalani Brady, Dr. Katherine Braun, Project Director, and staff members Megan Fong and Monica Mau. Thirty-one members and guests were in attendance. The aforementioned then joined us at a luncheon to help celebrate the 31st anniversary of the founding ofour club. This celebration was unique in the sense that the only three presidents our club ever had in its 31-year history were in attendance.-charles Rose,founder ;WalterVictor, 1973;William Choy Hee, 1974;WalterVictor 1975 to present. Much of August was spent preparing for our Aloha Festivals,Waimea Ho'olaule'a fundraiser held September 21. This annual event turned out to be a huge success. Worldrenowned chef, Sam Choy, also known for his "Poke Contests;' couldn't resist the temptation to sample our homemade poke. However, the recipe remains a secret, even from him., Through the year, 1stVice President, Lucille Chung, has been instrumental in implementing a very successful "Neighborhood Watch Program" in partnership with the Hawai'i County Police Department. This program originating in the O'okala area has resulted in a few arrests. Due to its success, the program will eventually cover the entire District ofnorth Hilo.

During the heyday of the Civic Club Movement there were clubs in Lahaina and Lana'i.The council has attempted to reenergize those clubs in Lahaina and Lana'i but has been unable to find the right people to take leadership roles. We will not give up on reestablishing these clubs but we have refocused our energies on increasing the membership of our existing clubs. I am happy to report that the two existing clubs have been successful in increasing their membership. The Central Maui Hawaiian Civic Club and Ho' olehua Hawaiian Civic Cub continue to focus theirefforts on raising monies for scholarships. To extend its scholarship services the Maui District Council joined a grant effort at Maui Community College to provide scholarship monies to Native Hawaiian students. The grant was funded by the u.s. Department of Education in excess of three million dollars. The District Council will ask its club membership to serve as mentors for the scholarship recipients. Each scholarship recipient will be required to provide service to the Native Hawaiian community. That service could be done in conjunction withour Civic Clubs.The Mainland Council has also agreed to participate in this initiative. The Maui District Council looks forward to hosting you at Convention in CENTRAL MAUl HAWAIIAN CIVIC CLUB P. O.

Since the last convention the Central Maui Hawaiian Civic Club has continued to expand our scholarship initiatives. Our Civic Club partnered with the Native Hawaiian Education Island Council Maui/Lana'i, and Maui Community College. The event was called Scholarship 'Aha The 'Aha invited Native Hawaiian scholarship grantees to present information about their different scholarship program. Presenting that evening were representatives from Kamehameha Schools, Native Hawaiian Leadership Program, Alu Like Inc., Hawaii Community Foundation, Educational Opportunity Center, MCC Financial Aid Office, and the Gates Millennium Scholarship. The presenters explained their scholarship criteria, their respective 'ifuieline and deadline, and the amount offunding available eachyear. The event was a high success. Close to 400 people attended this Scholarship 'Aha. In the audience were kupuna, makua and keiki from all overmaui. Everybody enjoyed the good music, ono food, and the valuable information provided by the presenters. This initiative was expanded to include Lana'i and will include the Hana community next year. A new initiative in the area of scholarship will be to measure the success of our Scholarshiop 'Aha. We will be partneringwith the Native Hawaiian Leadership Project to determine how many Scholarship 'Aha participants actually are awarded scholarships. Nainoa Thompson was the featured speaker for our annual scholarship dinner. He spoke about his experience with voyaging canoes and related his know-how to higher education. Coincidentally, the scholarship reception occurred at the time that Kamehameha admitted a non Hawaiian to the Maui campus.trustee Thompson addressed issues about the admissions process. The meeting lead to a better understanding of the admissions policy and healing between the trustee~and the Maui Hawaiian community. This is it from Maui. On behalf of our members we would like to thank the Mainland Council for hosting this year's convention. HO'OLEHUA HAWAIIAN CIVIC CLUB ~ P. O.
