Dear Juny,

I am honored to be considered by you to chair the budget and taxes
committee.  Indeed, I am anxious on making sure that the taxes get filed
properly.  I have some ideas, including that we should take the assistance
of H&R Block.  Their charges are cheap - approx. $100 - and they do a
professional job.  Moreover, they take only one hour to take all the
information from you. The important part, though, is getting all the
information correctly on our side.

However, I must inform you that I am HEAVILY involved in the organizing of
an international conference that is coming up at the end of the month.
It will take another week after that to unwind.  As much as I would like
to be on the budget and taxes committee of HCES, I will be absolutely
unavailable till April 7.  Under these unusual circumstances, and
considering that taxes must be filed before April 15, I think that you
should select someone else to do the work between now and then.

My alternate rep is also involved with the conference, so I cannot, with a
clear conscience, recommend him for the job.  I suggest that someone in
HCES who is intimate with last year's budget should help out.

I will be available for future assignments, but I must bow out of this one
at the present time.  Thanks again, for considering me.

To: Manny Lanuevo
     Vice Chair
     Hawaii Council of Engineering Societies

Manny,

With your permission, I would like designate you as the Chairman of THE
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE ... a special committee of the HCES which will be
tasked to look into different ways to raise badly needed funds for our
organization. Please say yes because I really would like to count on your
help on this matter.

You may recruit two of the representatives of the member engineering
organization to the HCES, preferably those whom I have not or will not be
asking to serve as Chair for other special committees. Their names are
shown in the roster I distributed through this mailing list earlier. Kindly
take your pick, ask them about it first, and then let me know your
committee's composition ... and please try to do it ASAP ... preferably
prior to our next monthly meeting on April 7. And when you are about all
set up, please make a posting to the HCES Mailing List.

Your committee will be one of the most important special committees in the
HCES since the current funds of our organization are now extremely low ...
that if we don't do anything about it within the soonest time possible, we
might not be able to accomplish our goals and objectives for this current
year. So much depends on what we can do during our term now and we should
see to it that we will not be putting the HCES and the other member
organizations down.

You have suggested something to me earlier and I would like to ask you to
work on it immediately. Kindly look also into other ways by which we could
raise funds like corporate sponsorships, a golf tournament, more ads to the
Wiliki, sponsorship of seminars, coming up with a souvenir program during
Engineers Week with paid advertisement on it, etc.

Please note that I am not very much in favor of raising the current
subscription cost of our newsletter. We might have to do this only as a
last resort. It is my belief that there are still a number of other options
available (to raise funds) and I would rather that we look into this first.
With your connections, experience in fund raising with FALEA and other
organizations,  and your strong determination to see things through, I
don't think we will fail in this objective.

I hope that the other representatives to the HCES will come up with some
other viable suggestions as well. I will be very happy to hear about any
bright ideas. I would like therefore to ask that suggestions and comments
be posted to the HCES Mailing List.

Keep in touch. Mahalo and aloha.

<fontfamily><param>Times</param><bigger><bigger>"SKINNED FOR A CANOE"


         Three cowboys traveling in Indian territory are ambushed and
captured by a band of fierce savages. All three are tied and brought to
the Indian village beside a lake. The Indian chief walks up to the 1st
cowboy and says, "We're going to torture you, burn you alive, then peel
off your skin and use it to make a canoe. However, before we do that, I
will grant you one last request." Without second thoughts the cowboy
asks for a knife, slashes his own throat, and dies. "Very brave man,"
says the Indian chief.


         The Indian chief then walks up to the 2nd cowboy and says,
"We're going to torture you, burn you alive, then peel off your skin
and use it to make a canoe. However, before we do that, I will grant
you one last request." Also without second thoughts the cowboy asks for
a knife, slashes his own throat, and dies. "Another very brave man,"
says the Indian chief.


         The Indian chief walks up to the 3rd cowboy and says, "We're
going to torture you, burn you alive, then peel off your skin and use
it to make a canoe. However, before we do that, I will grant you one
last request." The last cowboy thinks about it for a minute and finally
says, "Bring me a fork!"


         The savages burst out into laughter. The chief, rolling on the
ground laughing, cammands that a fork be given. The cowbow grasps the
fork and starts stabbing himself all over his chest and stomach. And
just before he dies, he screams out loudly, "I hope your stupid canoe
sinks!"

Dr. Singh,

Thanks for informing me about the error. I have made the correction already.

BTW, I would like to ask if you will be kind enough to accept to be the
Chairperson of the BUDGET & TAXES COMMITTEE? Please say yes and when you
do, I would like to ask you to select two HCES designated representatives
to be members of this special committee. Please get in touch with the two
individuals you would like to join you before announcing their names. It is
obvious that in this committe you will be tasked to look into the next
budget of HCES and also the preparation and filing of our income tax
returns this April.

Regards and aloha.

Let's put aside being too serious about life and our numerous duties and
responsibilities for the moment and enjoy a good joke.

The following funny story was contributed just recently by one of the
subscribers of the ACADEMY CAVALIERS' FORUM (ACF), one of the 5 mailing
list I administer. There is no doubt it will give you a big kick out of it
... enjoy!

+-----+-----+-----+


"THE FOUR CATHOLIC SONS"


	 Four devout Catholic ladies were having coffee at the church
cafeteria just after Sunday morning mass. The first woman proudly tells her
three friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone
calls him 'FATHER.'"

	 The second woman says, "My son is a bishop. Whenever he walks
into a room, people call him 'YOUR GRACE.'"

	 The third woman says, "My son is a cardinal. Whenever he walks into
a room, people say 'YOUR EMINENCE.'"

	 Since the fourth woman sips her coffee in silence, the other three
women give her a subtle remark, "Well...?"

	 So she replies, "My son is a gorgeous and handsome hank of man with
honey-blond hair who is 6' 2" tall and a  hard-bodied stripper in one of
the big nightclubs in New York City catering to funky and liberated women.
When he walks into a room, people say, 'OH MY GOD ....'"

Hi Folks,

I missed last weeks meeting due to a bad cold/flu...I am tasked to complete the
financial summary for the 1999 Engineering week dinner banquet.  However, since
I am new to this group, I am not sure who was doing what for this year's
banquet.

If you were involved in any of the following projected expenditures, please
provide me with the actual amounts incurred.

1. Number of people attended the banquet? (and dollars received).

2. Keynote Speaker.  HCES paid for his dinner? (one person)

3. Wiliki Contributor.  HCES paid for two dinners?

4. Lifetime Achievement Awardee.  HCES paid for two dinners?

5. Students.  HCES paid for five dinners?

6. Plaques.  How much did we spend on plaques?

7. Leis.  How much did we spend on leis?

8. Exhibit photos.  Cost of getting photos developed?

9. Printing.  How much did we spend on printing booklets/etc..?

Once I receive this information, I will be able to generate a final financial
statement for this years Engineering Week Banquet.

1. Conduct and chair the meeting for the selection of the Lifetime
Achievement Award recipient.

2. Read the Lifetime award citation and present the award at the banquet.

3. Read citations for and present special Certificate of Appreciation
Award(s) at the banquet.

4. Be around for giving advice and guidance.

That is all! It's a much easier job than Chairperson.  It's nicer to

Steve,

Thanks for sharing information regarding the numerous list of duties that
the HCES Chairman will be responsible for. I can see that this is
definitely going to put me into a very demanding role for the next 11
months.

My main concern, however, is how to get more funds into the coffers of
HCES. I'm now trying to see how to get into some kind of a fundraising
campaign for our organization. I'm trying to see if the fundraising
activities I did for FALEA before will also work with HCES. There is no
doubt that HCES needs to exhaust all avenues to generate funds in order to
continue operating, otherwise all those duties you mentioned will never get
to be executed and consummated.

At any rate, I will try to think of things in a positive way. And with your
assurance that you intend to attend all meetings to assist me this year,
you made me feel confident that things can be worked out. But I will have
to keep my fingers crossed and hope that the best is yet to come.

Within a few days from now I plan to create special committees to look into
the most pressing problems and responsibilities of HCES. I'm doing this
pursuant to Sec. 7.1 of Article VII of HCES's Constitution. I intend to
appoint chairpersons for these committes and will leave it up to them to
select two representatives to join his or her committee. It is my hope that
those whom I will be asking to serve as chairpersons for these special
committees will accept and be willing to serve without hesitation.

By the way, there are still a number of representatives who are now
subscribers of the HCES Mailing List who have not as yet complied to my
request to log-in or let us know that they are receiving all these postings
now. Please send an email to the list <hces@onelist.com> and let us know
that you are receiving messages from the list now ... even if you are not
making any postings as yet.

Keep in touch. Regards, aloha & mabuhay, and have an enjoyable week.

The following is a list of duties that the Chairman was reponsible for the
1999 Engineer's Week.

1.  Select committee chairmans for all required committees.  The 1999
committees were as follows:
	 a.  regestration
	 b.  house
	 c.  finance
	 d.  program
	 e.  exibits and awards
	 f.   Engineers of the year awards
	 g.  Lifetime Achievement award
	 h.  kick-off luncheon
	 i.  publicity
     Cordinate all committees and trust your committee chairs to perform.
  You can't do it all.

2.  Attend Proclamation ceremonies and be prepared to discuss Engineers
Week.

3.  Attend kick-off luncheon and give a 5 minute talk about engineers week
events and a feel good about our profession message.

4.  Attend banquet and act as emcee and install new officers.  As emcee you
will welcome,  introduce speakers, and give a talk as outgoing chairman.

this is a short list of duties that hopefully will be expanded upon by the
past committee chairs.  I still intend to attend all meetings to assist
Juny this year.

Date:                 3/7/99
Subject:             HCES Representatives

Dr. Singh,

	 I agree that the HCES representative should be a member of the Engineering
Society they represent.  They way a society selects thier representative
should be left for them to decide.  For instance SEAOH sends a director of
the board who has been elected by its membership.  They are members of our
association.  However,  we must ask ourselves if the representative cannot
attend they should send an alternate who is also a member of thier society.

For what it's worth.

Juny and Steve,

Our HCES represents engineers and land surveyors. Societies usually elect
their HCES representative. Sometimes, they elect the alternate HCES rep.,
but not always.  Nevertheless, that is not our problem.  However, when it
comes to sending alternates to attend the HCES meetings, we must emphasize
that the alternates be active members of the society, not secretaries,
administrative officers, or fiscal supervisors in their company!

What do you think??

Dr. Singh,

I think you didn't commit a mistake in your recent two postings. You did
just the right thing. It is my belief and understanding that our respective
views, comments, and suggestions should all be posted to the HCES Mailing
List.

This is something I would like to encourage ... a healthy and active
interchange of ideas. There are times that a posting me appear personal in
nature but, it may also be something important for all the other
subscribers (designated representatives of the different engineering
organizations) to know about. It could even entice them to reply and post
their own comments and suggestions. And when this comes about, there is no
doubt that the HCES mailing list will be  lively and well participated.

As the saying goes, "Two or more heads are better than one." In the HCES,
we expect to have a mingling of at least 16 or more heads ...

Keep in touch. Regards, aloha & mabuhay, and have an enjoyable week.

Juny,

You are off to a good start!

Juny and Steve,

Our HCES represents engineers and land surveyors. Societies usually elect
their HCES representative. Sometimes, they elect the alternate HCES rep.,
but not always.  Nevertheless, that is not our problem.  However, when it
comes to sending alternates to attend the HCES meetings, we must emphasize
that the alternates be active members of the society, not secretaries,
administrative officers, or fiscal supervisors in their company!

What do you think??

Aloha!


During my term as Chairman of the HAWAII COUNCIL OF ENGINEERING
SOCIETIES (HCES), the following will be the schedule of our monthly
meetings for the next 11 months. We already had our first meeting last
March 3rd. The representatives of the different engineering
organizations in the State of Hawaii that fall under the umbrella of
the HCES are invited and enjoined to attend all these forthcoming
meetings.

	 Feb 2, 2000


The above scheduled meetings all fall on the first Wednesday of the
month.  As usual the meetings will be held at the Empress Restaurant,
100 N. Beretania Street (2nd Floor). This is in Honolulu's Chinatown.
The meeting starts promptly at 12 noon and it will include lunch at a
nominal cost of $9.00 per person. Lunch will be a Chinese meal
consisting of 6 different courses which are quite very tasty servings.
Since the majority of those attending the meeting need to return to
work in the afternoon, we will try to "wrap things up" at the end of
our lunch break.


Parking is available at Cultural Plaza for $1.25 for two hours with
restaurant validation. You are requested to send your society's
alternate representative if you cannot attend. Since we need to make
our lunch reservation with the restaurant ahead of time, it is most
important that you inform us of your attendance or non-attendance of a
scheduled meeting.


And should there be any changes to the above schedule you will be
informed about it through a posting that will be made through the HCES
Mailing List. This being the easiest and most convenient way of
informing everyone about our meetings and other activities, we will
minimize making phone calls or sending fax messages.


For further details, kindly communicate with me through the HCES
Mailing List.

Aloha!


I learned that a number of representatives to the Hawaii Council of
Engineering Societies (HCES) have not as yet seen nor read the HCES
Constitution. I therefore took it upon myself to transmit to everyone
in this mailing list the Constitution which I obtained from the HCES
Web site.


Hope you will take time to read the Constitution of our organization
and that you will be guided accordingly in whatever tasks and
undertakings we will be doing for the HCES.
