Aloha & Welcome to our Web site

Dear Members of the Lions Club of Honolulu,

My name is Keoni Kealoha Devereaux, Jr and I am reporting for duty as the 2008-2009 President of the Lions Club of Honolulu.  I thank those folks who helped me get to this level.

Thank you to Lion Lyn Moku who introduced and sponsored me to become a member of the Lions Club of Honolulu. My journey started when I was asked to conduct a presentation on Alzheimer’s disease and related disorder at one of the meetings of the Lions Club of Honolulu. I was extremely impressed at how passionate, committed, and organized the Club was in how they conducted the meeting. Prior to my presentation, I had the opportunity to informally chat with Lions Marlys Pendleton and Dodee Charlton, both Life members of the club. I learned about their inspiring journey and also found out the many major accomplishments of the Lions Club of Honolulu, not only in the State of Hawaii but around the world.

I want to acknowledge and thank PID Mel Nakamura and CIS Nancy, PGD Ernie Chang and CIS Mary, PDG Bernard Ho and CIS Carolyn, Immediate Past President Kin Ching, Region IV Chair Bob Lee and CIS Pam, Zone Chair Jim Bryan, presidents and members of other Lions Clubs, officers and members of the Lions Club of Honolulu, families and guests.
Because of limited time, I want to stress areas that I will be focusing on:

1. Increased membership through active recruitment in various segments of the community such as corporate, academic, government agencies, military, health care including high school students who may want to know and to learn more about Lionism.

2. Increased funds through community and corporate partnerships, grant writing, mail appeal, media blitz and other traditional and nontraditional funds development activities.

3. Maintain and enhance projects that are successful, introduce projects that are outcome-based and measurable, and align with the Lions mission and vision.

4. Continue to implement and enhance a system that recognizes individuals and groups that support the Lions cause with vision,
passion, and commitment.

5. Intensify the partnership with Leo Clubs, not only in working together on projects but also involving the Leo Club officers in the program planning, development and implementation as part of their leadership training and mentorship process.

I am here to serve.

Mahalo nui loa and God bless you all.
