Daniel Nahoopii spoke on the Association Board Meeting that took place the day before the Maui Convention of November 13, 2019. These are some questions that came up at the meeting. One of the questions was how does AOHCC respond to and distribute to Section 106 questions and statements. The protocol from the Association president is that he identifies what Moku is associated with then he send the information to the presidents of the Moku council.
Information discussed at Association Board Meeting shown under Assocation Directors Report.
Convention and Meetings Gave report on the upcoming 2021 Oahu Convention. (PeeWee Ryan) Pee Wee Conventions Chair for Ke One O K kuhihewa and Lorna Akima Convention and Committee Chair for the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs have been working very hard with Hawai i Convention Center along with several hotels. Report on Ke One O K kuhihewa Council Convention Oct. 31 Nov. 7, 2021. The Conventions Committee has been working really hard to secure venues for this convention. The Hawai i Convention Center would be able to accommodate us for 7 days. Council is holding the dates of Oct. 31 Nov. 7, 2021 for now. Committee is working on rooms at Ala Moana Hotel at $120.00 and Hawaii Prince Waikiki Hotel, Alohilani, Marriott, Hyatt Regency to accommodate our members. 2021 is also the year of the Con Con for the Association.
Question asked by Toni Lee about maybe going back on the ship. Marlene Ebeo said that she is willing to look into that. Benton said he would really like to have the 2021 Convention on O ahu and have our members enjoy all the Huaka i that are in our different Mokus.
Committee Members for the Ke One O K kuhihewa Council are Pee Wee Ryan, Roth Puahala, Kalani Kaanaana, Daniel Nahoopii, and Benton Pang.
Mo ohe K l (Wa and No Report Means) Marlene Sai
Ho okele (Polic and Mona Bernadino to give verbal report. Governance) Mona Bernardino Committee members are Mona Bernadino, Ike Kaaihue and Pi`ikea Tomcyzk.
This committee was given two tasks of helping to charter two clubs into Ke One O K kuhihewa Council They are Princess Elizabeth Kahanu Hawaiian Civic Club and Princess Ruth Ke`eliiokalani HCC. Princess Elizabeth Kahanu submitted their Constitution and By-Laws and have done their due diligence to become a new member of Ke One O K kuhihewa and the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs.

The committee was also tasked about the distribution of Ke One O K kuhihewa Email List. The committee was also asked to pull all the Policies and Procedures over the years and agreed to put the past Policies and Procedures all together. Piikea and Ike offered to help to this task. The committee has sorted all the information Piikea and Ike had by topic and they need to finalize it and bring it back to the Council. Mona brought up is their tasks is to bring all the Policies and Procedures of the past and put them into a Manual for the boards review and discussion. Benton asked that the committee organize and put the Policies and Procedures that were passed by the previous Counciol together so if any member of the Council needed to look up any information regarding the past Policies and Procedures that we have them all together and it would be easier to look up any information.
Ike had a questions as to if the Council wants this committee to gather all the information of all the Policies and Procedures of the past and where would the Council like the Committee to start. The controlling of emails. There are still people that have difficulty in giving emails to the council for the purpose of civic club use only.
The committee would like the Council Membership to make a motion for this committee to ack on this request.
We will look into the July meeting minutes if R mo ion a recorded and if it is in the minutes. A point was made that this request made by the President does not need a montion and the President is asking the committee to gather and organize the back Policies and Procedures that have already been acted upon and put in a manual. Benton asked Mona if it would work if he asked the committee to organize and gather the Policy and Procedures of the Council starting with the present and going back as far as they can find any information or maybe at least the past 15 or 20 years.
Toni asked that if Princess Ruth Ke`eliokalani HCC withdrew their request to be chartered. The council sent out requests to Princess Elizabeth Kahanu HCC and the Council is still waiting for Princess Ruth Ke`eliokalani HCC response. Prior to todays meeting, Princess Ruth Ke elikolani HCC e e ed hei cha e e ie be defe ed.
Mona Bernadino has an update for Princess Ruth Ke`eliokalani HCC. Roth is working with this club on the answers to the request the Council made. His goal is to have it ready to be approved at our next Council general membership meeting.
A questions was brought up about the Charters of the civic clubs. Some civic clubs know that they have been chartered into the Council but does not have the actual charter. A suggestion was to maybe request the Association to issue a copy of a new charter.There may have been a way of the Association establishing a charter of the earlier clubs before 1959.

DISCUSSION: For the 10th year, the Oʻahu Council conducted makahiki at Pearl Harbor Hickam.

Discussion: At the last board meeting in Janauary, I was designated the AHCC representative for Kanaeokana. I attended the ʻAha Kūkā on February 28th at Kaʻiwakīloumoku. The handouts are attached to my report. Of particular interest is the Palapala ʻŌnaehana Hoʻonaʻauao Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Education System Declaration). The attendees reviewed this document and were asked to provide comments on the various sections. This declaration continues to be a living document. I will continue to keep the board abreast of any upcoming events, issues, or legislation needing our support.
Item #4: Advocacy at the State Legislature [Strategy 2. Objective 2, Strategy 3. Objectives 1&2]
Discussion: Ke One O Kākuhihewa coordinated advocacy efforts with AHCC Government Relations Chair.

We look forward to continuing our advocacy once Legislature is back in session.
On February 14, the council participated in Hawaiian Caucus Day at the Hawaiʻi State Capitol sponsored by the Hawaiian Legislative Caucus. The event was well attended by various Hawaiian Civic Clubs and partner organizations.

Mahalo Report of the Committee on Housing and Employment of the Ke One O Kakuhihewa Oahu Council of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs
Oahu Council Meeting Saturday, April 11,2020 Via Internet Conference
Committee Members; •Chair-Pohai Ryan, Member; Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu, Kailua Hawaiian Civic Club & President Princess Ruth Hawaiian Civic Club (pending charter) Membe -Benton Pang PhD, OCHAA President & Hawaiian Civic Club of Honolulu Juanita Brown-Kawamoto, member Kalihi-Palama, Kendrick Farm-Kalihi Palama Ha aiian Ci ic Club Member Hawaiian Civic Club Kaimo Muhlestein, President Kalihi-Palama Hawaiian Civic Club Lu Fabarito, President Makaha Hawaiian Civic Club Rochelle Kawelo, President Waianae Hawaiian Civic Club Kalani Kalima President Waimanalo Hawaiian Civic Club
Report of the Chair submitted by Pohai Ryan Meetings Your committee on Housing and Employment has not met and has no report at this time. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic there will be no in person meetings until further notice.
Committee member Ken Farm who is watching legislation regarding housing mention that we should pay attention to housing bills that may seem good on the surface but actually serve against serving the very people affordable housing is meant to serve. Misc. 1) Your committee has been invited to tour with Mark Development affordable housing projects and Leakmasters Tiny Homes models. I will keep people posted and if allowed we will invite one rep. from each HCC to join us. 2) The committee has been considering a housing forum for HCCs but due to the current shut down we were not able to continue planning. Reconsideration will resume after the community shut down is released. During the shutdown many of you may have the time to do some of your own research if you’re interested. On the next page you will find a few recommendations to help you.
