                       It was a nautical innovation that allowed the Polynesians to efficiently navigate the rough
                        waters of the Pacific. The Ama is also the port hull of a double-hulled canoe, which is the
                                                     vehicle that brought the Hawaiians to these beautiful islands.

From the President’s Desk

     ALOHA KĀKOU.  This is my last message as president.At the February 8
     annual meeting, Jon Steiner will become our 71st president. This past
     year, Jon chaired our dues study, which has identified a dues deficiency
     and developed alternatives to address that issue over the next few years.
     Jon has the full support of the board and management and he will be an
     outstanding president!

                         I also want to thank Jon, along with Fred Noa, Dustin Sellers, and Rob
                         Durkin, who have worked tirelessly with me in negotiating a lease exten-
                         sion with the Elks Lodge. We are now working with consultants on iden-
                         tifying the effects of sea level rise and king tides on the site. We are also
                         evaluating the types of shoreline restoration projects and improvements
                         to our buildings that are needed to mitigate these environmental challeng-
                         es. Then, we will hopefully continue our discussions with the Lodge.

                         It is difficult to envision what 2055, when our lease ends, and beyond will
                         look like. However, I know that no matter how long we are here, we will
                         mālama this ‘āina and generations of members will enjoy the sports of
                         Duke Kahanamoku and love our Club the way we do!

                         It has been an honor to serve as president. Mahalo nui to the board, our
                         committees and management for your outstanding work and commitment
                         this year. Outrigger ‘ohana is ikaika!
