luncheon has been scheduled for Sunday, March 5, 2006 at the Hapuna Beach <br />Prince Hotel. <br />4.Mentoring <br />No report. <br />5.Hawaii County Women’s Hall of Fame <br />D. Pung reported that CSW deferred the judge’s criteria for discussion at today’s <br />meeting so C. Kitaoka can share her concerns. Secondly, she e-mailed J. Moon <br />to inquire whether she preferred lunch or dinner and J. Moon is amenable to the <br />committee’s decision. <br />J. Balberde-Kamalii felt that the ambiance in the evening was very nice, regal, <br />and elegant. However, there would be more participation from family members if <br />the event was held during lunch. Also, it would be easier to travel during the day <br />for people coming from various districts. <br />M. Masunaga preferred having the event during lunch. K. Peters agreed that <br />traveling during the day would be more convenient because driving at night <br />would discourage family members from attending the event. <br />C. Ka-ipo favored the evening because participants could dress up and she <br />would spend the night. C. Kitaoka said she does not want to drive at night. <br />J. Balberde-Kamalii moved that CSW vote on whether the Women’s Hall of Fame <br />ceremony will be held during the daylight hours or at twilight. K. Peters <br />seconded the motion. The motion was passed. <br />CSW members voting in favor for daylight – C. Kitaoka, M. Masunaga, K. Peters. <br />CSW members voting in favor for twilight – J. Balberde-Kamalii, C. Ka-ipo, <br />D. Pung, E. Takazawa. The event will be held at twilight. <br />C. Kitaoka said her concern is that the judge’s criteria established by the <br />committee should be followed. Last year, the program included an exclusion for <br />nominating a politician and a politician was one of the winners. CSW agreed to <br />use the current judge’s criteria. <br />M. Masunaga read the opinion from D. Noda on whether the committee members <br />can solicit prize donations for the Women’s Hall of Fame awardees. The answer <br />was yes. After some discussion, K. Peters offered to draft a solicitation letter to <br />Big Island businesses to purchase six awards. <br />CSW decided to select the following judges: J. Coburn (M. Masunaga alternate), <br />committee member; Dr. Ruth Matsuura, previous winner; and Dale Suezaki, <br />community member. <br />3 <br /> <br />
