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.
