President’s
Message
The year of the Ram 2015 started strong and continues to gain momentum as we
Communicate, Connect and Create to build powerful leadership transformations and
strengthen Beta Beta State. We send you our sincere thanks for giving your time,
attention and effort to reach state and chapter goals.

To prepare the state report required by DKG Society International, I am currently collecting
data from your chapter’s Annual Report that asks questions about initiation of new
members, communication, strategic action plans, leadership development and chapter
Featured
Chapters
projects (early career educators, educational excellence, Schools for Africa). The questionnaire also asks for
the top issues you’re facing and what you’re doing to sustain your chapter.
Chapter
Highlights
We have 9 chapters who initiated 23 new members, 12 chapters with SAPs, 13 out of 13 chapters with targeted
support for educators including several chapters directly connected to support of DOE orientations or complex
training for new or returning educators. Many chapters provide some kind of scholarship to encourage and
support those in education as a college student or classroom teacher.

Membership continues to be one of the top issues, but it’s not just about recruitment of members. This year
you are thinking about how best to expand and deepen your member’s involvement and how to retain the new
members coming into the chapters. You’re also concerned about meeting spaces, full participation by working
members, funding for travel and growing our legacy.
Most interesting was what was not mentioned – leadership. Providing leadership training and mentoring was
the number one request of chapters in the 2014 report. Hats off to Beta Beta State Leadership Development
Committee and to the chapters who are trying new ways to distribute leadership.
Overall, we are moving forward taking strategic steps and making small changes to strengthen our organization
without losing the reasons your chapter presidents cite as what makes us “most proud” about our chapters.
That’s the love, networks, sisterhood, closeness, commitment, respect, aloha, music – words that immediately
come to mind when we think about this great Beta Beta State that touches the hearts and minds of Hawaii’s
key women educators.
It is an honor to serve you all.

bienniums as President, was Communication chair and currently is their Webmaster.
Donna is presently State Webmaster and the past BBS Secretary. She is a member
of BBS Ad Hoc SAP, Archives, Leadership Development, and SW Regional Planning

Beta Beta State as an organization has an opportunity to help and support educators
statewide. Whether the educator is female or male, our primary clientele are our
students. Ultimately we are there for them – to help them and support them. By
working with educators, our students will benefit.
Lambda Chapter initiated Gloria on October 1, 1988. She now is BBS 2nd VP. She
chaired the BBS Research Committee and was a member of the BBS Expansion and
Membership Committees. She was Chapter president for three terms as well as a
term as 1st VP and 2nd VP.

Within BBS, I see a true commitment towards re-looking at our structures and
practices and moving towards an entity that will be attractive and meaningful to
educators.

As the SAP Rises
Congratulations to all chapters who has displayed commitment to their chapter SAPs. It is heartwarming to hear chapters
report on the use of the SAP as a tool to develop relevant programs within their chapter meetings.
Mahalo to all sisters who participated in both the 2014 Spring Convention breakout session on Kauai and the 2014 Fall
Workshop breakout session at the Pacific Beach Hotel. The Ad Hoc SAP Committee hopes that the presentations were helpful
as your went back to your chapters and worked on your SAP.
An important item to mark on your calendar is the June 2015 Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) which will focus on
helping chapters to sharpen their skills to actualize their chapter’s SAP. Chapter officers and committee chairs attend the LDW.
The event also is open to all chapter members who seek opportunity as leaders not only in the chapter and state but also in
your work and other organization. All participants will learn about leadership through the SAP process and be able to transfer
the skills to other areas of leadership.
At the April Spring Convention, by-laws will be voted on and one item will be to have the Ad Hoc Strategic Action Plan
Committee become a Committee within the Society Business structure of Beta Beta State. This is an important vote. Please
register for the April 2015 Spring Convention to vote on including the Strategic Action Plan as a state committee. This vote and
inclusion to our by-laws will strengthen our organization.
Yes, the SAP is rising!

A celebration of life was held for Margaret C. Young who passed away on January 4, 2015. She was a staunch DKG
member since April 2, 1976. She served as chapter secretary and on many chapter and state committees. Her
leadership skills encouraged others to take on responsibilities to become effective members in her school community,
the church family and in Delta Kappa Gamma. She was an author publishing three books that were used by many
elementary students. Her warmth and presence will be missed.
June K. Oda born on April 7, 1930 passed away on January 10, 2015, leaving her legacy with us. After her retirement
as a University of Hawaii professor, she joined the DOE Hawaiian Studies Program and was instrumental in providing
Hawaiiana resource teachers in classrooms. She extended warm aloha to students and teachers as they learned
about their Hawaiian heritage. She returned home to Waiola Church, Lahaina.
Marion K. Vasconcellos taught at Roosevelt and Waianae High schools. She also wrote a training program for tour
guides for the Hawaii Visitors Bureau. Buddy, as she was known, was proudly honored to be a Delta Kappa Gamma
member attending meetings and being involved in leadership activities. Marion passed away on January 10, 2015 at
the age of 96.

IOTA chapter went dormant and then resurrected in early 2000's. Currently, our theme is Rejuvenation (in our chapter and for
ourselves as women, educators and members). Our chapter is made up of 25 members (8 of which have joined us in the
last year)! We have members who are now retired from the field, most of us are in the middle of our careers, and we have a
few with shorter terms of service. We have been expanding our membership to other types of educators like one member
who is a reproductive health educator, an incoming member who is a lecturer at KCC, etc. We are thinking of ways to invite
early-career members.
We don't have any charter members from 1967, however, we do still have members who left their original chapters (MU I
believe) to help resurrect Iota. Both Eileen Clarke and Kathy Sakuda are still very much active in our chapter! In fact, they
are both core members who help to keep us informed and part of the traditional foundation of our chapter and DKG in
general. They have both held top positions in the chapter and at the Beta Beta State level. They are amazing role models
for all of our members!
Our chapter is looking forward to hosting this coming year's Fall Forum in September of 2015! We are also looking forward
to the Southwest Regional coming to Hawaii in 2017! Our chapter members are by nature, a very excited and passionate lot.
We are also very proud of our Scholarship presented to a graduating young woman who wishes to go into education! Last
year's recipient Cassandra Busekrus (Iolani '14) was so inspirational with her work with young girls in Louisiana. We will
continue to support high school girls who want to go into teaching!
Our plans for the future include focusing on increasing our numbers by being looking for the right initiates for our chapter and
our visions and our personality as a whole. We know that by holding ourselves accountable for the success of our chapter,
we will be able to attract and maintain the best sisterhood for ourselves.
An interesting tidbit of our chapter is that each group of ladies who is responsible for running one of our 4 official meetings
wants to do better (and go bigger) than the last meeting. This friendly competition has made our meetings this year very
diverse and very, very enjoyable to experience! We are all enthusiastic and committed to Iota and DKG!

Gamma Chapter was established in January 1957. The last official Charter members, Gladys Wong and Eileen Tam are
no longer with us. However, one current member, Ruth Mukai, who at that time was one semester short of qualifying,
was later initiated into the Chapter the same year. She is still very active in our Chapter.
Originally, in order to maintain membership in our chapter, members were required to attend all meetings. Over time,
things have changed and this is no longer a strict rule. The members have expanded from one-third being mainly of
Chinese ancestry to a mixture of various ethnicities, ranging in age from the thirties to eighties, employed in elementary,
middle, high school, postsecondary and retirees.
A grant-in-aid has been provided yearly to either a high school graduate or a postsecondary candidate pursuing an
educational career. This year, the charter has decided to expand the grants by offering two $1000 grants-in-aid per year.
Members started an annual summer rummage sale to raise monies for the local grant-in-aid. Previously, this was held at
Hoaloha Park in Kahului next to First Hawaiian Bank. It currently has been relocated to Kahului Elementary School's
cafeteria.
Gamma Chapter also supports the District's New Teacher orientation. We provide all the refreshments and establish
networks with the new teachers.Recently, the Chapter has partnered with Friends of the Children's Justice Center by
volunteering at their Gala fundraising event and the Hyundai Golf Tournament.
Members feel that our meetings are both informational and enjoyable. It allows for the sharing of ideas and keeping up
with technology, while also providing various opportunities to give back to the community. For example, at our
November meetings, members donate baked goods, homemade crafts and white elephant items for an in-club
fundraiser. It's always fun to see what hidden talents our members have. In December, helping the Maui Food Bank
becomes our focus. Our goal is to increase our donations from the previous year. This year we were able to donate 170
pounds of food!
Most importantly, being a sister of Gamma Chapter brings us closer together as lifelong friends who enjoy celebrating
good times, providing support in times of need, and creating new and lasting memories that we will cherish forever.
Gamma sisters share time together with Beta Beta State President, Patti Jenks

Delta Chapter by Mindy Nakashima-Inouye
Delta Chapter has had a busy end to 2014 and a wonderful start to 2015! In December, members and guests enjoyed
wonderful fellowship and Christmas tradition at Halekulani for our annual Christmas get-together. Members brought children’s
books for donation to Kapiolani Hospital and Kuhio Park Terrace Lending library. For the second year in a row, Delta
chapter honored those members who have remained in Delta Chapter for 25 years or more with a delicious sit-down lunch,
along with a short DVD presentation of each member. Beta Beta State President Patti Jenks was also an honored guest. The
day ended with the traditional singing of Christmas carols led by Lois Gordon and Lillian Ito, accompanied by the Delta singers
and some musically talented guests.
Our February meeting was held at Kamehameha Middle Schools. Our presentation featured Delta member and Kamehameha
Middle Schools Principal, Dr. Pua Mills-Ka’ai. We learned about Schools Without Walls and learned about how she was
instrumental in opening the middle school. It was nice to have our meeting in the building and see the classroom without walls
and the open space concept.
As we end this first year of the biennium, we are looking forward to our Orientation in April and Initiation of new members into
Delta Chapter in May. We will end the year recognizing the Early Career Educator with a small token of our appreciation for
making teaching their career of choice.

Aloha, Nancy Robbins shared 1/2 the stash you sent with Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science Public Charter School. The
red bags were divided to make small bags of really cool stuff, age and gender appropriate to share with Shady Grove grades
4 and 6 and Kaleidoscope grades K and 1. Please see attached picture.
Also had super grab bags to take to Mana`olana grades 2
and 5 and with Paradise Hui Haumana grades 3/4...your
aloha was shared by 4 of our elementary sites and several
grade levels. DKG always has that touch of class and
generosity...mahalo Kauai sisters for your thoughtfulness.
They came at a great time as our Pahoa marketplace is
shutting down starting today...our main grocery store,
several eateries, the gas station, medical clinic, auto repair
and our 5/6th grade REAL class also located in that
marketplace, among others. The lava is very real to our
community and the children and their families are challenged
yet remain strong and hopeful. Mahalo again for your
kindness. Holiday Blessings, Nancy
Mu Chapter by Soo Boo Tan
Mu chapter found unique ways of initiating 3 new members over the winter break. On Nov 4, our fifth new member Cara Dote

JAPAN NO KA OI! The Japan State Organization, which we worked hard to establish a bit over 3 years ago, is alive and well!
Our Kochi sisters came and worked together to participate and contribute greatly to an exploratory project recently completed
by Pat Park and myself. The primary purpose of our project, Seiwaloha, was to explore the feasibility of Beta Beta State
members volunteering two weeks of their time to assist ELL students at Seiwa Women’s Jr and Sr High school in Kochi, Japan
possibly on an annual basis. Pat and I investigated the feasibility of the project by checking out the living, travel and dining
accommodations, fully participating in classroom instruction for two weeks, and examining the challenges and joys of working
with folks from Seiwa as well as the Alpha Chapter of our Japan State Organization.
President Patti Jenks, State Expansion Chair Ellen Tanoura, Pat, and I spent many hours reviewing what our purposes were,
what we needed to do and what data we needed to gather to determine the possibility of designing a successful
intercontinental project. Additionally, Pat and I reviewed ELL materials, interviewed instructors from the University of Hawaii,
and purchased materials we believed would be helpful for our Japanese teachers from the stipend we received from Beta Beta
State. Pat and I finally flew to Kochi on Sunday, November 19, 2014 where we were met and warmly greeted by several
members the Japan State Organization, two of whom were also teachers at Seiwa School. Later that evening Pastor Saku
Kuroda, Principal of Seiwa School, and all his English teachers celebrated our arrival with a marvelous teishoku (full course)
Japanese dinner. What an awesome start!
Our classroom experiences began the very next day by observing students in their English classes as they were taught by their
regular teachers using their own Japanese texts and materials. We were then asked to teach from their texts using our own
methodologies, possibly so they could observe how to integrate other strategies into their teaching. Finally, we were invited to
teach our own subject in our own way. We did this by focusing our attention on the unique history and cultural diversity of the
people of Hawaii. We were able to see every single student several times in our short visit there.
We also had significant English conversational opportunities beyond the classroom hours. Though school officially ends at
3:45, after school club activities take place from 4-5:30 or 6:00 pm so most students and teachers remain till then. Pat and I
were involved primarily in the EC or English Conversation Club. We played language games with them, taught Hawaiian songs
and dances, and even hosted two cooking demonstrations to attract their attendance and speak English with them. Finally, we
were asked to assist in the planning and execution of the final school-wide assembly. I taught everyone the song “Friends.”
Then entire student body formed a huge circle around the chapel and danced the “Hukilau”, a simple dance we taught students
in all classrooms.
After much deliberation and discussion, we believed this would be a great opportunity to utilize our professional skills, provide
us with rich personal growth experiences and fit perfectly with our Society’s purposes. We began this project with the hopes of
establishing an infrastructure to build a strong relationship between Sewia School and Beta Beta State. Through all our
activities and interactions, we believe we have accomplished that goal. What remains, of course, is the gargantuan task of
working out the details in order to assure sustenance and success in ensuing years.
Although we’ve just begun, we can see many possibilities of making a positive impact on student achievement and teacher
development at Seiwa and of expanding our relationship to other schools as well. We learned a lot about the Japanese culture
and its educational system, and how to survive in a foreign country with different customs and expectations. And we
strengthened and solidified relationships among ourselves and also between our Kochi sisters with their own chapter. We
found that we provided much needed and appreciated support we never realized they had.
Pat and I were very privileged to have initiated this project. Although we stepped into something that was unknown and
struggled with that discomfort, it forced us to manage and survive and, I believe, brought out the best in us. Also, we were
privileged to have received the strong support of the three organizations that were vested in our visit: Seiwa Jr and Sr High
School, the Japan State organization and Beta Beta State. Hopefully, Seiwaloha has reached across the Pacific Ocean will
continue to develop and bring greater understanding and mutual growth and friendship among all participants and partners.

Message from 2017 SW Regional Conference Chair, Fay Toyama
I am honored to have been asked to chair the 2017 South West Regional Conference, and I accepted knowing that every
member and every chapter will help in hosting this event on July 4-7, 2017 at the Sheraton Waikiki. I encourage all
members to plan ahead, so we can share our “Lifestyle of Aloha” which is the “brand” for our conference. We will not have
our theme from International until next year; in the meantime, we will “brand” the 2017 conference, to emphasize the lifestyle
that we are so fortunate to enjoy and willing to share with members who attend in 2017. It would be awesome if we could
get every member registered to host this event!
The 2017 Steering Committee has already met a few times to organize and synergize. Our first meeting included past
attendees of regional conferences who provided input into our planning. The members of the Steering Committee and their
present positions are:
Patti Jenks, Beta Beta State President
Vicki Kajioka, Executive Secretary
Donna Shiroma, Webmaster
Eileen Clarke, Iota Chapter
Peggy Hirata, Strategic Action Plan
Cherise Imai, Theta Chapter Secretary
Camille Masutomi, Iota Chapter First Vice-President
Pat Park, International Leadership Development Committee
We are also fortunate to have the comprehensive report of the 1999 SW Regional Conference, and the advice of Sarah
Moriyama who chaired the event and Sakae Loo who served as treasurer.
To coordinate our chapters towards our statewide goals, we would like to have at least one chapter liaison selected by the
April 2015 State Convention. Thank you to the following chapters who have selected their 2017 SW Liaisons: Theta, Beta,
Mu, Iota, Kappa, and Delta. The chapter liaisons will be the communication links with the Steering Committee, as each
chapter will assume certain responsibilities. More than one member in a chapter may serve as liaison. Training for the
chapter liaisons will take place at the 2015 Fall Workshop.
The DKG Halau, under the direction of Jenny Lee Tam Sing, is practicing every Friday, 6:00-7:00 pm at Branch Studio, 760
Halekauwila Street (between Ward Ave. and Cooke St.) A small fee of $40 per month pays for the use of the studio. We
have women from various chapters, and it would be nice if we had every chapter represented. They will be performing at
Spring Convention, so join them and share the Aloha!!!
I also encourage each chapter to subsidize a member to attend the 2015 SW Regional Conference in Wichita, Kansas, July
22-25. I am arranging for our members to “shadow” the hosts of the various committees to help us in our preparation. The
Hyatt Hotel rooms are only $99/night, and rooms can be shared to keep expenses down. If you are attending, please notify
Patti Jenks or me so we can coordinate the group.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at [email protected], or phone/text me at 808.295.0025.
I am so looking forward to working with everyone in our wonderful state and showcase the outstanding attributes of our
female leaders, which is all of you!
With Gratitude,
Fay Toyama
