President’s Message
Aloha you wonderful Lions and CIS's!!!
Aloha to ALL the hard
working Waiakea Lions
and CIS!!!
It takes more than a
tidal wave to stop the
WLC!!! The Annual
56th Chuckwagon Break-
fast was almost derailed.
All the hard work done the
night before looked like it
was done for nothing be-
cause of the tsunami alert
that was posted early Sat-
urday morning.
The fire and enthusiasm looked like it had
been sucked right out of the morning WLC
members. It was with much disappointment
that we locked the doors and went home to
see if Hilo was going to be able to hold up
against the tidal surge that afternoon. As it
turned out, it proved to be a very good civil
defense exercise.
After some thought and consideration, the
WLC decided to go ahead with the breakfast
and the phone tree was started. Leos, Boy
Scouts and Cub Scouts all got calls, and eve-
ryone responded with flying colors the follow-
ing day!!
Calls went out to the local radio stations with
radio personality Mynah Bird repeating that
the breakfast was on for that Sunday morn-
ing. The Chuckwagon Breakfast was a go!
What a happy bunch of Lions and crew that
showed up, looking a little bit more tired but
happy! The breakfast was really a success! A
lot of no- shows, but considering the situation
3
it was still a success. THANKS TO EVERYONE
THAT SHOWED UP!! Going back to the con-
tainer, I had a little tear in my eye as I drove
by the Naniloa Golf course where the Hilo 3
par tournament was going on. There will al-
ways be golf, but only one great Chuckwagon
Breakfast!!
The KMC Winter Forum was well at-
tended, I believe there were 159 Lions, shar-
ing ideas and getting things done. The hospi-
tality room on both nights was also very well
enjoyed!!
The Leos Convention, also up a KMC, had a
large turn-out. Thanks to all the WLC mem-
bers that helped and delivered lunch to the
hungry Leos on Saturday.
Leleiwi Beach clean-up/General Member-
ship Meeting of the WLC had a beautiful
day to enjoy. The Lions and Leos who
missed the meeting, sure missed out on a de-
licious dinner put together by Lion Ken Ue-
mura. But, I suppose a lot of the gang were
still dragging from the Sunday Breakfast!!
That's about it for now, let’s forge ahead to
the next projects, because WE SERVE and re-
member, we are the "Knights of the Blind".
Aloha, WLC President Ken Rosene and
CIS Yvonne.

ing. We make a living by what we get, but we

I am sure you were equally shocked when
you learned of the 8.8 magnitude earth- LCIF Committed to Relief Efforts
quake that struck Chile. As with the Haiti After Earthquakes
earthquake and other past natural catastro-
phes, LCIF responds quickly to ensure
those impacted get the aid they need,
but the Foundation is also committed to
long-term relief.

Our efforts continue in Haiti, where Mau-

reen and I visited last week. We were
amazed to see what the Lions of Haiti
are doing to restore stability to their
country and know that the Lions of Chile
will bring the same service to their commu-
nities.

Together, we are all working to bring hope

to the people affected, displaced and suffer-
ing.

Best,

Al Brandel
LCIF Chairperson

2010 WLC Chuckwagon Breakfast
By Lions Bob Kawakone & Craig Watanabe
This year’s Annual Chuckwagon Breakfast turned
out to be more of a challenge than in recent times.
With our local economy still reeling in high unemploy-
ment, ticket sales were slow coming in...then we get hit
with a tsunami warning the day of the
event!
When the order was made to postpone
the breakfast, concerns were made
that we may have to donate food
items and possibly refund tickets.
The tsunami warning was cancelled
promptly after 2pm when a small se-
ries of tidal surges swept in and out of Prexy Ken Rosene and KHBC’s Mynah Bird
Hilo Bay with no significant effect on
the shorelines.
Calls went out to local radio stations with radio personal-
ity Mynah Bird repeating the call that the Waiakea Lions
Club Breakfast was ON AGAIN!! WLC Lions, CIS’, Boy
Scouts, Cub Scouts, WHS Leos and other volunteers
waited in the pre-dawn hours at Waiakea High School’s
cafeteria for the next surge...of people eagerly holding
out for this once a year event.
See all pictures at our blogsite: www.waiakealionsclub.posterous.com

And what a surge it was. Townsfolk from Hamakua to
Puna came out in droves to support our fundraiser to
help out our communities. Ticket sales at the door were
brisk and netted several hundred dollars in additional
contributions to our cause.
The event itself proved that despite a
postponement due to a tsunami warn-
ing, people still came out the next day
to enjoy a breakfast prepared by the
Waiakea Lions Club of Hilo.
In the end the teamwork of the Wai-
akea Lions, CIS’, Leos and advisors,
Troop 19 Boy and Cub Scouts and
various volunteers worked their
way thru the morning and served
2,380 plates to all those who came. Ticket sales
generated $18,600 plus $170 in eggs (sold) will be
used for various non-profit organizations in the
East Hawaii area. A total of 3,720 tickets were
sold.
Lion Billy Lyman thanks all Lions, CIS, Leos, Advi-
sors, and Scouts/Cub Scouts for their hard work
and for selling the Chuckwagon Breakfast tickets

as well as vendors for their donations, KTA Super

Stores, (rice), Suisan, (eggs), Meadow Gold Dairies,
(beverage), Gas Company, (propane gas), T. Hara &
Co., Ltd. (syrup, carnation milk, & Nestle Quick Choco-
late), Hilo Candy (candy), Tropical Hawaiian Products,
(puree), Hawaiian Fresh Products, Inc., (papaya).

Also Mahalo to WLC members who solicited local busi-

nesses: Lions Loren Mochida for soliciting Meadow Gold
Dairies to donate 23 cases of beverage, Lion Melvin
Kunimoto for soliciting the Gas Company to donate
(propane gas), Lion Ken Uemura, (coffee), and for solic-
iting KTA Super Stores, Suisan, T. Hara & Co, for mak-
ing donations, Lion Ken Nakagawa for door prizes, &
Lion Toshihisa Aoki, (papayas).

Mahalo to Lion Alan Shiraishi for crunching the final

numbers as the committee’s treasurer. Not an easy job
as WLC has decided to refund tickets to anyone who
didn’t come to the breakfast due to the tsunami warn-
ing.

Our warmest Mahalo to the Troop 19 Scouts/Cub

Scouts, for selling 280/250 breakfast tickets respect-
fully. Kudos also to the WHS Leos for selling 280 tick-
ets. Combined, the Scouts and Leos sold nearly 900
tickets this year.

termine the winners of 1st through 3rd place for 2010.
The Waiakea High Leo Club and their advisors are to be
commended for the planning for this year’s Leo Conven-
tion. Judging from the comments made by the Leos and
their advisors, this year’s convention was one of the
best. They enjoyed the work shops, activities and most
of all, the beauty of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
and especially the Kilauea Military Camp facilities.

District 50 Hawaii
Reprinted from Hawaiilions.org website
Aloha, Fellow Lions
Spring is almost here, and it is getting close to con-
vention time! The convention committee, headed by
Lion Gregory Ayau of the Crescent City Lions Club has
been very busy putting together a spectacular function
for all members, CIS‟s and guests.
The deadline for registering and signing up for all of the
functions and activities is fast approaching – Monday
March 15th!
Don’t miss out on all of the fun and excitement, the
business sessions, hospitality rooms, and greet our In-
ternational Second Vice President Dr. Wing-Kun Tam
from Hong Kong, China, who will be our guest speaker
at Friday’s luncheon.
Our Flag Ceremony Thursday evening will be special,
taking place on the lawn (weather permitting) of the
Hilo Hawaiian Hotel with Moku’Ola (Coconut Island),
Hilo Bay, and Mauna Kea in the background.
The Friday morning business session will include reports
from the various committees and the Necrology Service
in memory of our departed Lions who have given so
much to our district in past years.
We will have one or more service projects on Friday
afternoon. Our original plan was to work on the “Playful
City” project in downtown Hilo, but there have been
delays on that site, so we are looking at alternatives. So
bring your work clothes, gloves, and covered shoes. We
may be painting, picking up rubbish, or even a small
construction or repair project. Be prepared!
The Imiloa Astronomy Center will be the site of our Fri-
day Fun Night. The planetarium will seat 120 at a time,
and we are planning two showings, so the first 240 peo-
ple will be guaranteed a seat. If there are significantly
more people interested in seeing this outstanding show,
we may be able to schedule a third showing.
12
Saturday will feature the nominations and election of
our District Governor and Vice Governors, and a host of
Constitutional, By-laws and Standing Policies Amend-
ments. Please be sure to study these very thoroughly
before coming to the session so that we may proceed in
an expeditious manner.
The awards luncheon, officer training sessions, and Dis-
trict Governor Banquet will highlight Saturday’s sched-
ule. And of course, there will be hospitality rooms open
all three nights!
Come and enjoy the convention and the variety of ac-
tivities that Hilo and its surroundings have to offer!

mation and forms.

Editor’s Note
By Lion Craig Watanabe
Aloha fellow Lions!
Apologies for publishing
this newsletter late, it
won’t happen again, I
promise.
With three more months
until the end of yet an-
other action-packed year,
the Waiakea Lions Club
forges on as we search for
Board and Committee
heads for 2010-2011.
I must remind those who are new to Waiakea Li-
ons that next year will be our 60th Charter Anni-
versary so those who will sit on the Board of Di-
rectors and Executive Board itself will play a deci-
sive role during this historic year. With long range
planning on the plate we will set a course for con-
tinued success for our club. If you are one of
those individuals, seek out advice from fellow Li-
ons as to what each position requires. You’ll find
that many of the Board of Director positions can
be held with minimal impact on your family and
work schedules.
This past year we have had changes in the way
we operated such as the cancellation of this year’s
Fund Fest and how “Tsunami Tsaturday” impacted
the annual Chuckwagon Breakfast. Two very im-
portant projects for WLC. How will we do next
year? These are some of the issues the next
Board will discuss. Fresh ideas and views will help
identify a course of action, this is why as new
members, it is up to you to help determine WLC’s
future.
On another note, if you are still having trouble
opening up the online version of this bulletin
within your email here are three suggestions that
may help you read each month’s issues.
1) You may have to download the PDF viewer
again that is used to open up these docu-
13
ments. The most common PDF viewer is
Adobe Reader. This software is free to
download and is available at www.Adobe.com
Go to “download” and click on Adobe Reader.
The current version is 9.1
2) If you want to read this bulletin directly with-
out having to go to your email, simply go to
www.waiakealionsclub.posterous.com to view
it directly. You don’t need a PDF view to open
the newsletter. You can also print it from this
online site directly to your printer for a paper
copy.
3) Internet Explorer 8 has been a bit buggy lately
and won’t open PDF documents. Download
Mozilla’s Firefox browser and follow the install
instructions. If you need help with this con-
tact me and I’ll step you thru loading in Fire-
fox.
Waiakealionsclub.posterous.com also has previous
bulletins of the 2009-10 issues as well as addi-
tional photos and videos that cannot be seen any-
where else but on our very own blogsite. If you
