Aloha Kams' Society Members,
Aloha Kams' Society Members,
Happy Summer. I hope that you are well and enjoying the summer whether it be spending time outdoors or traveling with family and friends. Please remember to be safe, stay hydrated, and most of all make great memories!
Lynette, Lisa and I attended many of our fellow Society banquets in February, March and May. It was nice to enjoy fellowship with other Society leader, exchanging ideas for activities they have for their members as well as learning of the challenges they face and how they are overcoming them. The one common challenge all societies face is the recruitment of younger potential members who will one day be the leaders of our Society. If you have any ideas, please let us know.
I hope you were able to join us at the Spring Banquet this past May. The food was delicious, and everyone had a great time.
In August, we will once again join the United Chinese Society picnic. This is a great time to enjoy the sun, have a great lunch, play a few picnic games, and win a door prize. A tent will be set up for our members to sit under, so if you like to picnic, please sign up.
In September, we will visit the residents of the Palolo Chinese Home and play a few games of bingo. It is so gratifyingly to see the Senior's eyes light up as they call "BINGO".
Finally we end the year with our Christmas Party at 3660 on the Rise Restaurant.
If you know of anyone who meets the requirement to be members of the Kams' Society, please ask them to join. If you have changes to your personal information (address, phone number, email). please email our Membership Chair, Jocelyne Chun so we can update our membership database and you can keep informed on future Kams' Society events.
A new committee has been formed which will explore the feasibility of producing a Kams' Society family tree. As this will be a huge task requiring many hands, time, and direct participation from members, it can also be beneficial for future reference. If you are ihnterested in becoming part of this committee, please contact Lynette Kam.
Until the next time,
Until the next time,
Wendy Mow
