A MESSAGE FROM
PRESIDENT TOM COYNE
 
Aloha,
 
Our speaker this week, Dr. Kim-Anh, gave a great and informative talk about the Blood Bank of Hawaii. She shared some very valuable information on how unique the Blood Bank in Hawaii is compared to other locations across the country. As usual our members asked very pertinent questions helpful to us all.
 
See you this Tuesday at The Outrigger Canoe Club for our meeting.
 
Best regards,
Tom Coyne

ATTENTION:  FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR COMMUNITY
Aloha,

I'm a coordinator for a healthy diet and lifestyle study conducted by Dr. Loic Le Marchand at the UH Cancer Center. We were wondering if you would be willing to include information about the study in your online Tradewind Newsletter? We are trying to reach members of the community on Oahu to see if they are interested in volunteering for this study. 
 
The study looks at two different healthy diets combined with regular physical activity to see which is best at reducing body fat, especially visceral abdominal fat, the kind that puts people at greater risk for chronic diseases and some types of cancers. It is a great opportunity for individuals to adopt healthy habits and receive free dietary counseling by a nutritionist for 24 weeks.
