MAY 2014 - Elks Lodge 616

May 2014
Vol. 70 No. 2
KUMULOKAHI ELKS
WINS IT ALL!!!
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 included 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 RULER
Aloha! 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
3
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,
Augie Rey
LIFE MEMBERSHIP
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Lodge members will ballot on
LifeMembership at the regular Lodge
meeting on May 13, 2014, for the
following member:
Aloha 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!

HONOLULU LODGE
AWARDED 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!
