You have experienced tremendous growth since the founding of your first club by Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole in 1918. Today your clubs are found on every island, and on the mainland as well. Inspired by your convention's theme, Ho'omaka, which speaks of establishing new goals, you are sure to have a lively and informative gathering on the Big Island during these days. Mayall of you enjoy this time together, as you gather with old friends and renew your commitment to civic duty on behalf of the Hawaiian people. Aloha, DANIEL K.

I am pleased to share with you that the United States Senate concurred with my request to continue the funding for Native Hawaiian programs--$31 million was approved for education, health, vocational training, culture, and drug free education programs for the upcoming fiscal year. Unfortunately, no funds were appropriated by the House. I will do my best to retain as much ofthe funding as possible when the Senate and House meet in conference to reconcile their differences. These projects are critical to not only improving the collective quality oflife ofthe Native Hawaiian people, butalso to continue to underscore the existence ofa trust relationship on the part ofthe federal government. Notwithstanding the budgetary climate and the new reform-minded leadership in the Congress, ours is a fight that must be fought and an obligation that must be satisfied. You have done much to raise the awareness and to provide a forum to discuss issues ofimportance to the Native Hawaiian community. Ours is a mission that is always current and ongoing. Please accept my best wishes for an informative and enjoyable conference. I look forward to continuing our work together. ..---------------------------~~~-~~~~~~~~--~----~.~ ASSOCIATION OF HAWAIIAN CIVIC CLUBS P.O.

AKAKA It is with great pleasure that I extend my best wishes on this annual convention of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. To each of the delegates and their guests, my aloha. You have set aside time to be a part of this annual assembly, and I commend you for your participation. As delegates, you play an important role in representing the interests of the forty-five Hawaiian Civic Clubs in Hawai'i, California, Colorado, Alaska, Nevada and Utah. These next several days of meetings are all the more significant because of the commitment you have all made in time and effort to help set the direction and goals of your federation, the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs. I wish to also commend the officers of the Association and all who have been involved in arranging this year's convention. I know that they have worked hard to ensure that the sessions ahead will be informative and productive. This is more than a forum for the exchange of information or the voicing of concerns and ideas; this convention should also serve to promote unity. During the course of this six-day gathering, it will be an opportunity to strengthen the bond between members, for I must say that the good fellowship of this gathering is also an important part of this convention. I join your many friends in wishing you my very best for a most successful annual convention. Aloha pumehana, DANIEL K.
