B. Pennsylvania Commission for Women Newsletter <br />REPORTS <br />A. Education <br />1. Urgent Services Directory <br />K. Nova reported that she will distribute the directory at the workshop in <br />Kona on March 28, 2009. <br />2. First Female Booklet <br />A. Mejia reported that M. Sherman suggested at the last meeting to have <br />a mobile pictorial display of the women instead of printing the booklet. <br />CSW felt it was a great idea and the committee can take it to their event <br />such as the essay contest, Women’s Hall of Fame, etc. D. Pung offered <br />to obtain research on the display board. C. Kitaoka added that the Data <br />Systems Department can also enlarge items if the committee wanted to <br />blow up the display. <br />N. Kelly moved that CSW do a portable display that can be taken to <br />different events instead of a booklet. D. Pung seconded the motion. The <br />motion was passed. <br />3. Essay Contest <br />C. Kitaoka reported that approximately 90 people have confirmed their <br />attendance for the awards luncheon. Former council member <br />Angel Pilago and council member Emily Naeole provided funding for this <br />event. <br />D. Pung offered to do the congratulatory remarks. Secondly, the event will <br />be livelier with E. Cabatu as the emcee. <br />A. Mejia will pick up 16 leis for the winners, dignitaries, and guests. <br />4. Hawaii County Women’s Hall of Fame <br />K. Peters asked if CSW ever discussed keeping the event at the Hilton <br />Waikoloa Village, Water’s Edge Ballroom, but having a luncheon instead. <br />It is a much easier commute than the evening, cheaper, and driving will <br />not be an issue. <br />A. Mejia stated that another suggestion was to schedule the event one <br />year in Hilo to see how many people would attend. C. Ka-ipo was able to <br />obtain good rates on the prime rib buffet and rooms at the Naniloa <br />Volcanoes Resort. If it doesn’t go well, then the event can revert back to <br />Waikoloa. <br />K. Peters felt that people from West Hawaii would not travel to Hilo or <br />people from East Hawaii would not travel to Kona at night. The turnout at <br />2 <br /> <br />
