Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Soroptimists! I hope youall are having a very happy and blessed holiday season.
As we enter the new year its a good time to reflect on 2012 and the good work thatwe have done. WOW, what a year! A major Soroptimist convention, an incrediblysuccessful fundraiser, hosts of District Meeting, lots of money and goodies raised
for Hale Ola Windward Abuse Shelter, a three club service project, a fruitfulmembership drive and more. Phew! That is a lot, but I feel as though we are justgetting started.
As we look ahead to 2013 there is much to look forward to. Our awards committeeis collecting applications and about to start the judging process for our WomensOpportunity Awards, Violet Richardson Award, and Ruby Award. This is theculmination of all our hard work. We get to see, first hand, the lives of women andgirls improved through these monetary awards.
2013 will also bring us our 75th Anniversary. Our club has a long and wonderfulhistory. We will join together on the evening of February 27 th to celebrate thismilestone for our club. Make sure to save-the-date.
Lastly, we will be taking an ALL CLUB PHOTO at our January Business andProgram meeting. I encourage you to attend so that we dont miss anyone. I hope tosee you all there!
I am so thankful to you all for allowing me to serve asyour President and I look forward to another greatSoroptimist year.
Cheers to an awesome 2013!

Hale Ola Holiday Party
Under the leadership of Paulette Suzuki SIH was able to put together a wonderful holiday party for the
staff and residents of the Hale Ola Windward Abuse Shelter. A delicious meal was provided by the
Moana Surf Rider and Executive Chef Willis Chen. SIH members and members of Cross Fit East Oahu
(owned by Keoni and Rose Subiono) contributed to a treasure chest of gifts for the residents. In
addition SIH presented each woman at the shelter a H.O.P.E. ring with the wish that whenever they
feel down or like giving up they can look at their hand and remember that there is HOPE in this world
and that we are praying for them and will continue to be there for them.

women of the shelter...giving them
strength to be empowered and
move forward.
