We've Finished a Year ... Mahalo!
June has arrived and with it the end of another year of service by members of the Lions Club of Honolulu. It has been a challenging year with two presidents at the helm and some dedicated members who continue to support the club’s efforts. Much thanks go out to those members who are able to attend most functions and support us with their time and energy.
President Keoni worked hard with his service
projects while he was able to and we thank him for providing new
venues of service Lions Club of Honolulu partnered with the Region and Zone to have successful projects like the IYC Dinner, World Service Day, Region IV Forum, White Cane Walk, monthly vision screenings at local schools, the ARC Clean-up, and assisting at the Vision Van.
We continued to have our Eyeglass Cleaning
project and on-going collections, the 82nd Charter Celebration,
Christmas Celebration, The 73rd District 50 Convention ended with fireworks and eight rousing lions dancing and looking for li-see. It was the perfect culmination of three days and nights of Lions gathering for fun and business. The election of new officers resulted in DGE Alan Garson, 1st VPE Chris Tamura and 2nd VPE Eric Nordmeier slated to take office on July 1, 2009. We wish them all the best in Lionism.

President Donna P Tamasese Club Dues Increase For FY 2009-2010 Members present at the Business Meeting held on May 26, 2009, voted unanimously to increase our club dues to $100 a year. The increase will be effective July 1, 2009. The Board had earlier approved an increase in dues (subject to members approval) after reviewing budget information for 2008-2009. The club’s revenues have not increased over the past few years while our yearly expenses have continued to rise. Club dues had not been increased for over 20 years. You will soon be receiving your yearly statement reflecting a payment of $100 that will be due by the end of July. Thank you for submitting it on time!

Students Enter and Win in Poster Contests
Lion Masue is a great contest advocate! She continues to work with both Central and Kawananakoa Middle Schools encouraging them to enter the “Peace Poster” and “Sight is Beautiful” Contests every year. Not only do they enter but students also win prizes annually. This year was no exception as Saraiah Nason-Luis not only won a monetary prize from the Lions Club of Honolulu, but also walked away with the 1st Place Prize ($200) from District 50 in the Sight is Beautiful Contest. Winners in the Peace Poster Contest, Annie Gio and K-Andrea Limol both walked away with $100 1st Place Prizes from the Lions Club of Honolulu. It sure is worth it to enter one of these contests! Congratulations to all the participants, the teachers and administrators who support these contest sponsored by District 50 and the Lions Club of Honolulu. 73rd District Convention Highlights "L-I-O-N-S stands for Loving Individuals Offering Needed Services, which so appropriately describes members of this great service organization." —From the keynote speech by 2nd VP Sid Scruggs
