K. Schneider said that CSW discussed this issue and came up with the same <br />conclusion that we have great entertainment and great emcees right here on the island. <br />N. Kelly stated that it was unfortunate that the way the process works is that CSW meet <br />once a month and decisions need to be made at the meeting and the timing of it. All the <br />nominees will be honored with a lei and certificate. <br />P. Vredenburg suggested that CSW include her in reviewing the menu for future events <br />since she is a caterer and she would be able to help with low cost food items. <br />K. Nova indicated that the committee saw how the people who were not the top winners <br />at last yearÓs event so happy. They felt special and they thanked the committee. CSW <br />will submit a press release of all the nominees in the newspaper. <br />S. Bracken suggested that CSW seek outside sponsorship. J. Mecklenburg replied that <br />there are legal limitations that we face are Ðunsoliciting.Ñ It is more of how we go about <br />getting the money, but it is a possibility to have co-sponsors. <br />N. Kelly pointed out that if you look at the past winners, itÓs not just celebrating or <br />honoring the people that have accomplished things in business; they have been role <br />models and they have risen above adversity. When you look at all of the nominees, <br />they all have great stories. <br />P. Vredenburg said she would like to know if their nominee is one of the inductees. She <br />would never say a word to her and the nominee does not know that she was nominated. <br />S. Bracken added that if there is any way they could find out on the ÐQTÑ if their <br />nominee is going to be one of those inducted, then they would want to invite people <br />from off island and on island. They donÓt want their nomineeÓs supporters to spend <br />significant amount of money if she is not inducted. <br />J. Mecklenburg indicated that the committee needs to treat all of the nominees equally if <br />any action needs to be taken. More discussion and how the nominees will be treated <br />can be decided later on the agenda. She didnÓt think any decisio <br />point on the agenda. <br />S. Bracken suggested that CSW consider telling the nominator if there are situations <br />like this where they do want to ask people to spend money to fly <br />responded that CSW can review this suggestion for next year and decide whether this <br />was the right way or revert back. <br />CORRESPONDENCE <br />A.
