PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Hello Adventurers!
Welcome to our 65th year of exciting
programs! To begin 2018, we have three members/couples and a guest speaker sharing their diverse
travel adventures. All of them are sure to be interesting – plan now to attend! And why not present a program yourself in the future?! We'd love to hear about YOUR adventures! You don’t have to be a “polished” speaker. Our program chair (and 1st VP) Bill Chapman
is happy to encourage
you and guide you through the process.
Your Club is led by a group of dedicated, hard-working officers and directors, but its continued success depends
on YOUR support! Attend our programs, bring
a guest, present
a program, and help recruit
new members! This will ensure
that the Adventurers’ Club will be around for a long time to come!
Aloha,
Lowell Angell, President

IMPORTANT MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION:
**CORRECTION** We GOOFED in the meeting reminder
sent in November! THE
SPOUSE/PARTNER MEMBERSHIP REMAINS AT
$20 FOR A SPOUSE/PARTNER OF A CURRENT
FULL MEMBER. We apologize for any
confusion!
The
good news is that there
will be NO INCREASE
in dues for next year!
It remains at $37.50 for a
Full
Membership and $20 for the
Spouse/Partner of a Full
member.
Beginning
in January, however, we will be charging a
$5 guest fee for
a NON-MEMBER spouse/partner, and all other non-members, (in
addition to the price of the dinner). This
is
to help defray the Club’s overhead
expenses including facility and equipment rental.
These expenses are already
incorporated into the dues of Club members.
As
an incentive to encourage a NON-MEMBER spouse/partner to join the
Club, the $25 initiation fee will be WAIVED through
January 31, 2018.
By joining
as a Spouse/Partner or Full member,
they will avoid paying
the $5 guest fee,
which could add up to
$60 over the course
of the year.
New member applications will
be presented and voted on at the
next Board of Directors meeting
on January 11. If
you wish to
take advantage of this SPECIAL LIMITED OFFER,
please send your application
to Janet by January
5, together with the appropriate membership fee ($20
or $37.50). Membership certificates
will be presented at the
February meeting.
PLEASE
NOTE that the new member initiation fee for Spouse/Partners will be
waived ONLY UNTIL JANUARY 31ST, so act
now to take advantage of it
and promptly send in your application!
The membership renewal form and new member application
are included in this
mailing.
WE INVITE YOU TO
UPGRADE! If you
are a current SPOUSE/PARTNER member,
you can support
your Club even more by
upgrading to a FULL MEMBERSHIP! Simply send in
your FULL MEMBER dues of
$37.50 upon renewal by January 31st and indicate that you wish
to upgrade your Spouse/Partner membership.
NO additional
application fee is required.
Know of a good
future speaker or program (maybe yourself!)?

“The Intracoastal Waterway: America's Little-Known Treasure" By
Member Ed Carus
|
||||
Most non-sailors west of the Mississippi River have never heard of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) or know very little about it. Ed believes it is one of our nation's unique national treasures. He has motored through parts of the east coast section of the waterway twice in the past 70 years. It may not be an exotic area of the world, but it is a very interesting and historic part of the country's heritage. Ed will be sharing his photographs and insights into this important cultural and natural resource.       | ||||

"A Tour
of Europe's Fortifications: Remains of
World Wars I
and II" By Guest Kepa Lyman
Kailikepaokamoana
“Kepa” Lyman will discuss his recent trip to
Europe to study fortifications
from World Wars I and II.
His journey took him to Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, France’s
“impregnable” Maginot Line,
and Mussolini’s Alpine
Defenses. France
and Italy are the main focus
of his presentation. The descendant of Rufus Lyman
of Hilo, son of
missionary David Lyman,
Kepa has a BA from
Whitman College in
Washington and an MA and two
graduate certificates from the
University of Hawai‘i. He also holds
a degree in underwater archaeology from the
University of Sussex in England. He is especially
interested in World
War II sites in the Pacific
and this, along with
a year in Berlin, fueled his
interests in military
fortifications worldwide.
 Location 6:00 pm Outrigger Canoe Club - 2509 Kalakaua
Avenue, Free parking in club lot
