A logo will be presented and explained and hopefully accepted and approved by the BOD today so Moku o Manokalanipo can move forward with convention planning.
The moku request to pay the AHCC the fee of $3500 to host convention and if approved would like to receive the MOU today so they can move on with planning. They are working towards sending out convention forms and getting the booklet rolling as early as April, they ask that WE meet the deadlines of September 30, little over eight (8) months from today.
Council will adhere to the deadline date and will not entertain extensions.
Kauai is using the D.C. booklet as an example for getting estimates from their printer for the various size ads and also for printing of the booklet. Council asks that those with kuleana to get speakers, arrange workshops, secure letters from dignitaries and clubs getting their club information for the booklet start because the council is going to adhere to the deadline date of September 30 set by the printer. Mahalo to the council for jumping right in and running with your kuleana, with so much enthusiasm and commitment.
A request from the host council is that the agenda for convention be available by the September deadline so people know whats happening and can decide when they should make air and room reservations in order to participate in the pre activities planned by the moku as the moku would like convention attendees to participate in their pre activities.
