Once again our Speaker Committee is hitting it out of the park! Scott Jung, co-owner of Hawaiian Rent-All dazzled us with some behind the scenes information on the billboard and we learned about the history of Hawaiian Rent-All. Mahalo, Scott!
As I have mentioned a few times now, we have needed to cut back on our Administrators hours. With this, I am calling on a few of you who are comfortable stepping up to assist with luncheon registration/sign ins. Julia Allen has already volunteered - Thank you, Julia! We need one or two more members who are up to the task. Our Admin will have everything prepped for the meetings and can teach you what needs to be done. Please reach out to Lee and Michael Marsh.
We have a new venue this week! We are one of the first to use the Inspiration Hawaii Museum! They are not open to the public yet - we get to be some of the first! I look forward to seeing each of you this Tuesday, Jan. 14! Until then, have a wonderful weekend!
Please review the Coke & Lawrence Operations Fund Pledge form and please consider donating to the Coke & Lawrence Operations Fund.
