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.
Keoni Kealoha Devereaux, Jr
(Excerpts from his incoming
speech as the President-Elect
of the Lions Club of Honolulu, 2008-2009)
