President’s Message
___________________________________________
Aloha! 
It’s been quite a month since the last President’s Message, to say the least.First, on Sunday, September 22
nd
we put on the
Healthy Baby Finals
at Ala MoanaCenter Stage. Our chapter and a few good friends did a fantastic job running theshow, which resulted in a new Healthy Baby crowned live on KSSK.Then HCJ stepped up proudly for our part in the great
‘Adopt A School Day’
onSunday, October 11
th
. Many of our great members came out to the Hoo Cho ChineseSchool that day to put in a full day’s work.We got the entire building covered in a new coat of paint, including the front lanai, side and back steps and eventhe front walkway! The school hadn’t been painted in at least 15 years so this was long overdue. We can all be proudof the great effort we gave to this worthy school.And yes, that was us on the KHON news that same night. VP
Krystal Lee
represented HCJ with class and pride inher interview with KHON. Plus we all got to do the Shakas for the closing credits. Not a bad day!
What’s Next?
We’re not taking a break even after all that, though. We've got a full couple of months left before the New Year.But the big question on all our minds is about YOU.Have you thought about being on the HCJ Board? We’re getting ready for our
HCJ Board Elections
for 2010and need your help. Let me say that being on the HCJ Board was one of the
best decisions I have ever made
. It is TheKey to self-confidence, personal growth and rewarding community service involvement.You also get to know a lot of great people in the best way possible – by working together. If you want to learnhow to stand out and step up in your career and strengthen every other aspect of your life, I can’t recommendanything better than being on the HCJ Board. I can guarantee that because it made such a difference in my life.If you’re wondering about the opportunities or positions on the HCJ Board, just ask me or any of the other Boardmembers.Remember, we’ve got our great
Halloween & Christmas Parties
coming up, just turn to Page 5 for details on thatas well as all the other great projects your chapter has on the calendar.We’ll see you soon!Your Friend,
Jonathan Cook

Healthy Baby Contest Finals
 
The
56
th
Annual Healthy BabyContest
went off just like every other year.And that’s a good thing. Why? BecauseHCJ once again put on a great pageant thatcelebrated our keiki and showed we get the job done. 56 years of hard work and greatsuccess is a record we all should take pridein.The Wednesday evening before theFinals was spent at the office of 
Mr. RossLee
who generously allowed us to use his phones. Healthy Baby Chairman
Allan Wu
, VP
Krystal Lee,
 
Ana Che
&President Jon made the calls to notify the babies who had made it to the Finals.Sunday, September 22
nd
saw our team arriving as early as 7:30 at Ala Moana to get things ready for the big event.Chairman Allan coordinated our team as we set up tables, tested fans, got the Registration area ready and prepared theall important tabulation room backstage.JCI Old Timers
Faye Nakashima & Mike Fujioka
generously gave of their time to do the tabulating job,guaranteeing that our totals would be accurate and above suspicion. Their experience and dedication would play animportant role later…
Fun At The Finals
At 10AM our traditional emcee,
Michael W. Perry
, took the stage and got things rolling. His understated humorfits the occasion perfectly with the inevitable, yet lovable mishaps that come with small children. As in previous yearsmost keiki contestants were much more interested in the columns of balloons than in standing still for the judges.This resulted in more than a few incidents that required members
Anthony Sato &Jason Tomita
to rescue the upturned balloon sculptures.Like any great contest, Healthy Baby does have its nail-biting moments. The biggestcame with the final tabulations to decide who would be our Healthy Baby. The dramawas dialed up when
Michael W. Perry
came from backstage to announce that thetabulators were dealing with what looked to be a tie!Backstage the numbers were done over and the winner was finally apparent – but onlyby the slimmest of margins. Our Healthy Baby was….
drumroll 
……Ezekiel Antonio of Kapolei! Or as he was known that day, ‘The Kid In The White Suit’!It was a great ending to another great
Healthy Baby Contest
. Our team finished up bypassing out the surplus milk, juice & yogurt from Meadow Gold and headed upstairs forsome Japanese cuisine to celebrate. Our hat is off to HB Chairman
Allan Wu
for all hishard work, to our HB Committee members and to all our members and friends who cameout and gave so generously of their time and energy.
