The meeting was brought to order by President Stephen Morgan.
The Pledge to the Flag was led by PP Chuck Braden, followed up with
an inspiration by Patti Mitchell. Pres. Stephen handled the
introductions of guests himself.
PP Gail Warshawsky was our song leader, and we serenaded a
couple of first-time off-shore visiting Rotarians, along with a
large group, including its acting President, visiting from the
Metropolitan Rotary Club.
PP Chad Adams was the taskmaster of the Aloha Bucket and
collected quite a few Happy Dollars from the crowd. PP Chad also
asked for volunteers at this weekend’s Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
through Waikiki.
A couple of brief announcements and thank you’ s comments were
made by Pres. Stephen, of special note was the Books for Kids event
held a few days ago that donated over 300 school books to the
students at Puuhale Elementary School. PP Janet Scheffer mentioned
the Sales and Marketing Executive upcoming annual event, which this
honoree Nainoa Thomas. President Elect Designee Paul McGillicudy
reminded everyone that there will be another community service
event on Saturday March 23, at the Serenity Garden. Magda Alexander
announced birthdays and anniversaries, and we all sand Happy
Birthday to PP Chuck Braden. Celebrating too many years in Rotary
to count were PP Dick Matti and PP Bob Tellander. A few minutes of
appreciated Fellowship was granted, so we all ran off to the buffet
to grab another succulent plate of food.
Nora Chen was up next, and introduced the very special guests:
the Chia-Ping Rainbow Dance Troup from Taiwan. Before they got
started with their performance, several things were said about the
background of the group, how Rotary became involved with the club
in the area, the Global Grant school library project that we
donated to and participated in a couple of years back, and much
more. Finally the group of 16 children and youngsters took center
stage, and amazed the club and guests with their joyous songs and
dance. The crowd was mesmerized as we watched these young
aboriginal people sing and dance in colorful costumes.
PP Steve Koyama held the lucky ticket, but alas pulled a blue
marble. Pres. Stephen had everyone recite the 4-Way Test, and with
another rap to the bell, a wonderful meeting of the Rotary Club was
closed until next time.
Respectfully submitted,
PP Dave Hamil

WEEKLY REPORT — WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 2019
THE KARIYANGAN BALLAD TROUPE
The students from Taiwan, Taiwan, are honored to participate in
the 2019 Honolulu festival. We hope that through the participation
of the art festival, friends around the world will be able to
listen to the moving ancient rumors of Taiwan's Aboriginal peo-ple.
In addition, it is expected that students will learn about the
historical background of Hawaii and discover and understand the
culture of differ-ent countries in the exchange of
interactions.
Director Tanaka said that attending the art festival has been a
dream in the children's heart. Every child screamed loudly when he
learned that he could come to Hawaii. Director Tien followed the
team to dream, and also to sing the hope of the children at the
Honolulu festival. And in order to be able to perform better during
Hawaii, the team is more of a day-to-night practice. Today, I will
be able to live on tv with the song of the ancient folk rumors. It
will definitely be the most memorable day for the children and
children of wu tam.
Vo is a primary school for Aboriginal people. There are
currently three school districts, respectively, school district,
peace school and poor school dis-trict. The majority of school
students are row stu-dents, and most of them come from the
economi-cally disadvantaged and kak families. At The Hon-olulu
festival in the year, the poor team is a group of small flames with
a sense of stupidity, igno-rance, and infinite enthusiasm. They are
in the big house of big, with cultural pay, to inherit as a
fur-nace, and sing out. Like a curl smoke, such as a rustic Cuba.
It is a beautiful thing to sing the row. It is expected to sing the
beautiful culture of the bay with a touching song, like a rainbow
of rainbow.
The President of the Taiwan people's center of Ha-waii, lu wah,
said two years ago and the 24 rotary clubs in Hawaii.

TODAYS SPEAKER: TREVOR OZAWA
Ozawa was born and raised in Hawaii Kai, and as the
representative of Hono-lulu’s District 4, which spans from Ala
Moana to Hawaii Kai, he utilizes all of his education to better his
community. He currently resides in Hawaii Kai with his wife, who is
also a lawyer, and their
two daughters. Ozawa was recently recognized as Leadership In
the Industry: Young Achiever at the inau-gural Media Hawaii Lodging
and Tourism Awards and we wanted to pick his brain on leadership
and receiving this recognition.
Ozawa is a firm believer in servant leadership, where the leader
focuses on the well-being and growth of the community rather than
accumulation of power. In 1970, Robert Greenleaf published an essay
and coined the term “servant leadership.”
“The servant-leader is servant first […] It begins with the
natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first; then
conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead,” writes Greenleaf.
“That person is sharply differ-ent from one who is leader first,
perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to
ac-quire material possessions.”
Greenleaf’s essay had a profound effect on Ozawa, who learned
about this style of leadership in the Pacific Century Fellows
program. In addition to being a gradu-ate of PCF, Ozawa is also a
Kamehameha Schools alum and has a B.A. in Economics from the
University of Southern California, as well as a law degree from
Suffolk University Law School in Boston.
