airfare, dinner meal, car rental, and parking for J. Moon. J. Balberde-Kamalii <br />seconded the motion. The motion was passed. <br />J. Balberde-Kamalii suggested publishing a news release in mid August instead <br />of September in the Hawaii Tribune Herald and West Hawaii Today. <br />CSW discussed the solicitation of donations since former CSW member <br />Laura Guluzzy received many donations for last years event. Each recipient <br />received a one-night hotel accommodation for two at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, <br />a framed underwater photo, and a $25 gift card for Safeway. The committee <br />decided that each member volunteer to get one donated item for the honorees <br />with flexibility on the value. K. Peters suggested a standard letter of solicitation <br />and send it out to the art galleries on the island. She would be willing to contact <br />businesses in Kona and identify what this project is all about rather than asking <br />friendsforadonation.However,D.Nodaindicatedthatsheneedstoresearch <br />whether CSW can solicit donations.Does the committee want to establish a <br />higherdollar valueif the program continues and there is a full change in <br />membership? What if five yearsdown the road a recipient receives a small <br />plaque and recalls a previous recipient receiving a koa bowl? <br />C. Ka-ipo mentioned about the Office of Aging award that was uniquely designed <br />and given to its recipients. She suggested that the Womens Hall of Fame award <br />be a necklace or something that the recipient could wear that signifies their rank <br />as being in the Hall of Fame. M. Masunaga mentioned about a vase she <br />received with a plaque that was attractive. Aftersome discussion on the type of <br />award to be given to each recipient, CSW decided to table the issue on <br />donations until D. Noda provides clarification at the next meeting. <br />J. Balberde-Kamalii suggested that D. Pung follow up with J. Moon to determine <br />whether she will be available for lunch or dinner so CSW can make a decision on <br />the time of the event. <br />B. Health <br />1. Womens Health Month <br />M. Masunaga reported that the HSCSW has no funding this year for Womens <br />Health Month. <br />M. Masunaga suggested that E. Takazawa compile a list of activities for the Big <br />Island so the information can be disseminated. <br />D. Noda asked the status of the HSCSW. M. Masunaga said that a meeting was <br />held with Governor L. Lingle in December and she promised to release the funds. <br />Themoneywasalwaysthere,buttheGovernorhastoreleaseitandittook <br />several months for her to release it.
