We’ve been busy the past several weeks as we conducted three key events for D49.
First, we had the screening of the documentary “Speak” on Monday, 29 April, at the Doris Duke Theater. This was a special event attended by almost 200 for D49 members and invited friends. Rich Hopkins who appears in the film joined us for the screening and hosted a Question and Answer period. Thanks to Area 13 Governor Cain Kamano for coordinating this event. LtGov Marketing Eliot DeRego had oversight and did an excellent job supervising the marketing aspects. Recommend visiting the District 49 Facebook site to view the pictures taken at this event. Thanks to Area 8 Governor Kyle Nishioka and Dean Masai for taking the photos.
115+ D49 Toastmasters attended the Spring Conference May 4, at the Pagoda Hotel. Keynote speaker Sheryl Roush, DTM/AC, kept the program interesting, involving members in her presentation as she took us down the “Road to Excellence”. It was a special honor to present the Communication and Leadership Award to Mr. Jose Villa, who I’ve known for 13 years through our association with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Congratulations to the two contest champions: Kevin Mikami, Heald Peitho’s Minions, who took the Table Topics Contest, and Jay Galbreath, Pineapple Country, who won the International Speech Contest and will go on to the International Convention in Cincinnati. Thanks to Gloria Shishido and her committees for organizing an excellent conference.
Our third key event was the Accredited Speaker Brunch at the Pagoda Hotel for Sunday, 5 May. Past DG Greg Ching coordinated this event as we packed the Sorabol Restaurant with 40 attendees. Sheryl Roush was joined by Karen Twichell, AC, providing an overview of the AC program and answering questions from the group. This was an informative and valuable workshop.
One of our District goals is to have 30 clubs reach distinguished status for the year. We currently have nine clubs confirmed as distinguished, with four clubs (Hilo TMs, Ho’oponopono Pa’ahao TMs, Kapolei TMs, Winners Circle 2) accomplishing President’s Distinguished!Congratulations to the incoming team of Robert Cravalho, Eliot DeRego, and Charles Mole. Their leadership will carry D49 through the 2013-2014 Toastmaster year.
As we approach the finish line for achieving distinguished, continue to work on accomplishing your educational and leadership track goals before 30 June.
Aloha,
Richard A. Hernandez, DTM
