August 2021

Aloha to members and friends,

As we approach the end of the Kiwanis Year 2020-2021, I am looking back at all of our club’s accomplishments. Of course, it has not been smooth going, but we are still here! As I look back to date, there have been many WHOOPS and times of confusion by me. Fortunately, we are still in the go-forward mode, and I know we shall stay in that lane as long as the Kiwanis Club of Pearl Harbor exists.

One of the tasks of the president of Pearl Harbor Kiwanis is to write a monthly newsletter article. I do not look forward to writing these messages. I have groaned and moaned about it often. Kay never forgets to remind me of the end of month deadline! Now as much as I moan and groan, I look way back to the beginning of this century, when I was a fairly new Kiwanian elected president for the first time at Pearl Harbor. I opened my mouth and said “there should be a message from the president in our newsletter each month!”
