COVID HITS HILO AGAIN

Feb. 20, 2021
COVID VACCINE GIVEN
As seen above, Casey is waiting for
participants to come to the area for waiting
after to vaccine was administered. And Jo,
she is cleaning the chairs after the participants
has left to continue with the process of the
vaccination . Thanks to Jo, Les, Liz, Tom,
Taylor, Casey, Kelsey, Jon, Most members
were happy to do this volunteer work, but the
standing was really long for most of the
members, getting sore legs and back. So, the
program chair had cut the day in half for the
March 13 drive and so most of us volunteered
for the morning or the afternoon. Thanks to
the members who generously gave their time
to do this project. Our Kiwanis Club was
mentioned as one of the volunteers in the
Tribune Herald on March 14 newspaper.
WE DID IT.. MARCH 13
COVID VACCINE CALLS
The Hilo Hospital Covid program called out
to organizations to assist with the Mass
production vaccine at the Kanakaole Tennis
Stadium where they will be vaccinating
more teachers and workers that is needed
covid support in our community. So, Jo,
Les, Taylor, Tom, Kelsey, Francine, Taylor,
Liz, and Audrey, showed up and did various
chores for the program. As you can see we
did a lot of chores and now the Kiwanis Club
of East Hawaii is on the front line doing
what needs to be done for tis pandemic
emergency. The project covered 4,000+
covid shots Thanks to the many volunteers
who showed up and did their part in the
program.

Aloha Region 18! Key Club D22 Makai
The Key Clubs of Region 18 would like to invite you to participate in our “Keiki Stories”
reading project. We would like you to participate by sharing a favorite childhood book or
Hawaiian keiki storybook in a video presentation. Please refer to the document attached
for instructions on how to make and submit your video. We have also included a list of
tips to help you to enhance your video presentation.

The goal of this project is to inspire children to enjoy books and to read more! By reading
our favorite stories, we also hope to promote literacy and a love for reading. We hope
that by sharing these stories through our website, we will reach members of our Kiwanis
Family in Hawaii, California, and Nevada.

Our website will premiere on Tuesday March 2nd, in commemoration of Dr. Seuss's
Birthday so if you would like your video to be included on our premiere date please send
your video in by Monday March 1st at 6:00pm. This website will continue to accept
stories as we would love to continue to grow this virtual “library.”

We can't wait to see all of your wonderful submissions. If you have any questions please
feel free to contact me at mayaoishi@gmail.com. Thank you!
