Once again, I would like to commend our Speaker Committee for lining up a great group of speakers that are interesting, clear speaking, and relevant to today's Hawaii.
We can look forward to Avi Soifer - UH Richardson Law School Dean, Craig Angelos - UH Director of Athletics, and Dr. Naoto T. Ueno, Director of UH Hawaii Cancer Center coming up in the next few meetings.
Also, we will be having a Club meeting at The Pacific Club on September 24th. This will give us a chance to consider another location for our meetings if our Club would like to change. We need as members as possible to sign-up for this meeting to help us decide if this is the future for our Club.
Music is back! Let Kent know if you are interested in assisting with the Music.
