President Chad Adams called the meeting to order at 12:15
p.m. President Chad was asked by the Pacific Beach Hotel to
make an announcement: They asked for the owner of the old
rusted lime green Toyota parked on the third floor to please
remove your vehicle immediately, adding that it’s not parked
illegally or blocking anyone, they just want it removed from
their parking garage.
PP Janet Scheffer won
the investment portfolio
drawing, but she pulled a
red marble! We ended
the meeting by saying the
Four Way Test, under the
leadership of PP Janet as
her consolation prize.
Bob McDermott inspired us with a prayer of Thanks.
Past President Roy Tanji invited Club members to join him
in the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag.

Our Meeting today was full of beautiful energetic music by
the Awesome Langley Ukulele Ensemble from Langley,
British Columbia in Canada. The group is composed of 20
talented musicians, aged 12–21, and performs 50-80 concerts
a year. The music director is Paul Luongo, the youngest son
of Peter Luongo the previous music director from 1980 who
just retired last year.
"The Langley Ukulele Association is a team of young
musicians, ambassadors and volunteers, who have
established a reputation for providing opportunities to
demonstrate excellence, inspire, build hope, model leadership
and enrich all through entertaining musical presentations
which touch lives."

Kathy Higa
PE Rhodora Pagay
Mayor of the City and County
of Honolulu.
Mufi Hannemann is thrilled to
accept the invitation to join the
Hawaii Independent Party
and run as the people’s candidate for the office of Governor
of Hawaii. By not following
the dictates of any party or their
partisan ideology, he is free to do what’s best for all
the people of Hawaii — and that is to restore open and
honest government, and get Hawaii .
“People are frustrated and disappointed with our government and definitely feel we deserve better,” Hannemann said in his first campaign news release.
He said people felt the current state administration of
Gov. Neil Abercrombie vowed a "New Day,” but people are still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled.
Hannemann, a former Honolulu Mayor and former
City Council member, lost big to then-lesser-known
candidate Tulsi Gabbard for the U.S. House. That
came on the heels of his previous defeat two years before, when he lost the 2010 Democratic primary to
longtime political rival Abercrombie.
Hannemann said he is offering himself as “someone
who will put people first by listening and collaborating, rather than ruling by decree.”
And he pointed to a record of achievement “who as
mayor of Honolulu assembled a very capable, nonpartisan team that left the city a better place than we
found it.”
