Vol. 70 No. 2

The first race day of the Hui Waa 2014 schedule was held on March 29,

2014. Windward Kai was the host for this first pre-season distance race of

the year, held at Ke’ehi Lagoon.

Kumulokahi Elks put together a rag-tag mixed crew together that includ-

ed Jason Ignacio (steering), Mira Neal, Casey Brown, Connie Sizmore,

Nalani Leonard, and Chris Whitesides. Our paddlers raced hard, and

smart… and ended up not only winning their Open Mixed division, but they

were the first to cross the finish line overall with the time of 1:04:42.71.

Since Elks 616 is the only Lodge in “Elkdom” that has an official canoe

committee built into its by-laws, this news is huge. And since before 1995,

Elks was strictly a fraternal brotherhood . . . this may be the first time in

National Elks history that women have ever paddled

and won a canoe race!!!!

We are still doing our research on the history of

female paddlers. Please contact Mark Moore if you

have any information on the subject.

Mahalo NUI LOA to the Esteemed Board of

Directors, the Exalted Rulers, the Trustees, and the

Lodge members for all of your support! We are

looking forward to many great things as we all paddle

together as Elks into the future with unity & success.

EXALTED RULERAloha! Here we

are, just barely

two weeks into

the new Elk year,

and already I

have exciting

news to sharewith

you. By the time

you read this, it

will be May. Besides getting my feet wet

running my first lodge meeting, (I’ll

admit I was a bit nervous.) our lodge is

off to an incredible start.

Our Kumulokahi paddling team WON

their inaugural Mix-Team, 9-mile race.

Yes, FIRST PLACE! How exciting is

that? If you ever thought you’d like to

paddle, contact Alika Winter and Sheri

de Barrio and sign up now. It is going to

be an exciting paddling season and we

as a lodge are proud to provide this

wonderful benefit to our members. One

of our goals this year is be mindful of

doing all we can for our members and

instill “Pride in Membership.” Exciting

events ahead for Kumulokahi.

I hope you were able to attend the ER

Easter Event. The Easter Bunny gave

away treats to all the keiki. I am writing

this before the event, so I can’t report on

it, but the plans were awesome thanks to

our Event Planning Committee headed

by my right hand girl, my wife Bobbe

Joy.

Next month is Bingo. Again a fun

event you must attend. Can’t say much

about it, as it’s “Mystery Bingo.”

And Mother’s Day is May 11, and I

am sure our Lodge Chaplain Delorese

Gregoire and Chef Robert are planning a

beautiful, delectable brunch as always.

Be sure to bring the Mothers in your life

to this celebrated event.

I want to congratulate Esteemed Loyal

Knight Andy Watson for receiving a

Gratitude Grant from ENF for $2000 to

enable us to provide assistance to

women and children who are victims of

Domestic Violence. Our program is

called “Purple Pillows”. With this grant

we will be providing pillows, linen and

other bedding supplies to the DV

shelters on the Island of Oahu. Again,

another reason to be proud of being an

Elk. We are a Benevolent, Charitable &

Patriotic Organization. Makes me proud

of who we are in the community. Talk to

your friends and neighbors about the

good works that we do. The Charitable

endeavors that drive our compassions

for our fellow man. One of the key

attractions that we offer our members,

both new and old, is the opportunity to

serve their communities. Volunteerism is

the key to helping others and should be

one of our primary goals. Opportunities

to serve the community are a primary

reason why most Elks join our ranks.

We, as individuals, may not have a large

amount of money to help those in need,

but the donation of our time, skills and

talent will be more effective, both for the

volunteer and the recipient. “The true

benefactor counts his store in what is

given, not in what is saved.” This gift of

BOARD OF DIRECTORSAloha From Your Board of Directors!

At the first meeting of your new Board

of Directors on April 1, 2014,

reorganization occurred in

acknowledgment of the mandate

delivered by the Lodge at the election of

officers that was held in February. By

consensus, the Board assigned these

Directors to serve in the leadership

positions of the Board’s Workgroups:

* John Nadler for Facilities

Maintenance and as liaison for the

Master Plan

* George West for Safety, Accident

Prevention and Special Projects

* Byron Apo for Budget

* Judy Rubano for Investments and

Bequests

* Andy Watson for Human Resources

* George Del Barrio for

Communications and Technology

* Deb Knight for Member Services

In the following months, each Director

will share with you here in the Aloha Elk

the plans they have for our Lodge in

their areas of responsibility. First up will

be George Del Barrio to identify and

explain the methods and modes through

which your Board will be updating and

improving the technologies that we will

be utilizing to communicate with you.

George’s excitement and passion in this

area has energized the Board and we are

certain that he will do the same to you.

Although each Director will be

discussing different topics and concerns,

you will find a common thread among

their messages: your Board will be

boldly moving forward to build a great

Lodge and an exciting Club for all of our

members. We like to use the analogy of

being in a canoe when we speak of our

journey ahead. Your Directors are

pointing us in the right direction; there is

room aboard for all of our 3,000

members. The wind is at our back, the

seas ahead are beckoning. Come and

join us - we are in for a great ride!

Hiram K. Keliipio

Chairman, Board of Directors

one’s time can be more beneficial than

the gift of money, which is easily

squandered. We have wonderful

committee chairs to lead us in these

endeavors.

This year we will continue the

programs that have stood the test of

time. Community service is our #1

priority. We must continue to elevate our

image in our communities with visible

Elks participation in our beneficial

community programs. Our new PR

Chairperson Tracy Larrua is here to help

us do just that. We must lead the way to

help our Veterans both in and out of

hospitals and in doing so we will satisfy

our pledge to “never forget them.” We

have been serving our Veterans in need

at the VA hospital with a monthly Bingo

event thanks to 616 member Joanie

Fujishiro. And the past two years our

Mahalo Veterans Luncheon for our 616

veterans.

Our youth must be shown the way to

solid values, leadership and good

citizenry. We will do this with our youth

programs such as Hoop Shoot and

Scholarships to higher education.

Committee chairs Bob Stenson for Hoop

Shoot and Carl Schwarm for

Scholarships are on the job now. Contact

them for more information.

And we will continue to educate our

youth as to the dangers of illicit drugs

and alcohol. Drug awareness chair is

Esteemed Lecturing Knight George del

Barrio.

Let’s all pitch in to help educate our

members and the general public of these

important programs. The programs are

“who we are.”

“Elks together…

Serving with a heart of Aloha”

Fraternally,

the Honolulu Elks Lodge 616 for her Americanism essay “What Veterans Day Means

to Me” at the Elks Lodge Membership meeting on 25 March.

Isabelle is shown here in the photo with the Lodge Americanism Chairman

Russell Motter and Exalted Ruler Bud Lush after receiving the award.

HONOLULU LODGEAWARDED ENF GRATITUDE GRANT

Honolulu Lodge was awarded a

$2,000.00 ENF Gratitude Grant for the

Elk Year 2013-2014 to be used towards

supporting a new charitable program in

the community. This grant is only

awarded to Lodges which meet or

exceed the Elks National Foundation

Grand Exalted Ruler’s per capita

donation goal of $4.60 per member. The

Honolulu Lodge’s contribution will

exceed this years GER’s goal with a per

capita contribution of $10.40 per

member. CONGRATULATIONS to

everyone for your continued donations

to the ENF Program.

The $2,000.00 will be used to fund a

new program called the “Purple Pillow

Program” which will help purchase and

donate much needed household goods

and supplies to include pillows and linen

for women and children in Domestic

Violence Shelters. We would reach

approximately 500 – 1000 victims of

domestic violence who transition

through the shelters while awaiting a

safe and livable environment. Pillows

are a valued item as many of them

cannot be re-cycled after use by the

victims. It is our mission to provide the

shelters with assistance of goods and

monetary donations.

Our Lodge realizes that domestic

violence is a main stream problem which

affects over 3,000 victims in our local

community. The Honolulu Lodge stands

ready to help those women and children

of domestic violence. As this year’s

Honolulu Lodge ENF Chairperson, I

ask for your continued support and

contributions to the Elks National

Foundation - ELKS CARE, ELKS

SHARE!

Gratias tibi,
