CALENDAR OF EVENTS:
Every Monday evening (except on holidays and, of course, during Hawaii Ski Week), at 4:30 PM, a group of ski club members and their friends play tennis at Keehi Lagoon Courts, off Lagoon Drive. Stay in shape and enjoy a "careful social hour" afterwards.
July 3 (5:00 pm) General Membership Meeting/Cookout at Rainbow Bay Marina, Pearl Harbor.PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
Aloha and happy summer which started this past Friday. I can tell Kamehameha Schools has been on summer break for a few weeks already because I am not dodging as many cars and school busses on my neighborhood walks. I know a lot of you are waiting for information on our Japan trips for next year, and Alan has assured me that the flyers should be ready within the next couple of weeks: The holdup has been nailing down the cost, but, as in the past, the trips should be relatively inexpensive and, this coming year, will include areas around Sapporo including Teine and Kiroro and Rusutsu: More information should be available by the time of the July 3rd General Membership Meeting/Cookout. Please wear your Club tee shirt, and name tag from a previous trip, if you have one, to upcoming meetings and activities. Caroline will be distributing flyers/order forms for tee shirts in the near future. Hope to see you at the July 3 General Membership Meeting/Cookout at Rainbow Bay Marina.

UPCOMING SKI CLUB ACTIVITIES:
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING/COOKOUT
RAINBOW BAY MARINA
57 Arizona Memorial Drive
(next to Restaurant 604)
PEARL HARBOR
July 3 (Thursday), 5:00 pm
Get an early start to
the July 4th holiday by coming to our General Membership Meeting on July
4th eve where the food will be "on the house," at Rainbow Bay Marina,
Pearl Harbor. Rainbow Bay Marina is the outdoor picnic area with
cabanas on the right hand side (facing the ocean) of Restaurant 604, Pearl Harbor.
We have held our October Kick-Off Meetings and, at
least, a couple of Pre-Trip Packet Pickup Parties here in the
past. For those of you who are unfamiliar
with the area, enter Pearl Harbor off Kamehameha Highway as if you
were going to the Arizona Memorial, take a right on the inner road
(Arizona Memorial Place), and drive approximately 1/4 mile. As
soon as you go under the Ford Island viaduct, you are there. Restaurant 604 is facing
the ocean and we are on the picnic grounds right beside it. This
is BYOB, and please carry out
your drink containers rather than depositing them in the refuse
receptacles at the venue or we will forfeit the return of a
$100.00 deposit we gave them for cleanup. Please
email me pres@hawaiisnowskiclub.com

Mahalo to Caroline for suggesting the Old Spaghetti Factory, now at Aloha Tower Marketplace, for a Pau hana in mid July. Parking at the Aloha Tower Marketplace will be free for the first hour and $2,00 per hour thereafter with validation. We have 5 tables reserved on the lanai where the drinks and pupus are reasonably priced, we can hang out and discuss our skiing/boarding adventures, and we can hear the music from the nearby luau. Please email me, pres@hawaiisnowskiclub.com if you are coming so that we can advise the restaurant of the number expected. Also, don't forget to wear your Club tee shirt and a nametag from a previous trip. Hope to see you there on July 18th.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS
KAISER HIGH SCHOOL
511 LUNALILO HOME ROAD
HAWAII KAI
June 7 (Saturday)
Nine Ski Club members gathered at Kaiser High School early Saturday morning on June 7 to volunteer for the Special Olympics and for the first time, in my memory, they made us all officials, helping to set up events, scoring (measuring distances thrown, etc.) and timing races. It was a bit more interesting than in past years, and we finished our assignments early, at 11:15 am. Mahalo to Mike Tsutsui for coordinating the event for us.
