Meeting was called to order. Fundraising, professional development, networking event, volunteer ideas were discussed. More importantly, it was emphasized that fundraising is essential to increase HKJCC cash flow in order to fund future networking events. The ideas are as follows:

1. Fundraising

• Kettle Corn. Previously, HKJCC did kettle corn fundraising, and Danny will follow-up with his Kettle Corn contact with back payment of $600. Additionally, Danny will reach out to 2 gas stations as kettle corn selling locations. Overall, potential profit would be $3 to $4 per bag.
• Koala Moa Chicken Plate lunch. Ed has a contact, and will follow-up.
• Car Wash. Although a great idea, it’s time-consuming, and net profits may not be as high as Kettle Corn or Chicken Plate fundraisers.

2. Professional Development

• Kirk Caldwell, Mayoral Candidate. Tentatively on 3/1. Danny to follow-up.
• Potential Speakers: Ben Cayetano, Duane Kurisu
• Seminars on How to Negotiate? How to ask for a raise or promotion? Crystal’s boss would be a potential speaker.
• Financial Roundtable/Forum. Financial Planners, Bankers, and other Financial Professional. James C. to follow and engage with Bank of Hawaii Executive speakers.
• Start-Up Business opportunities discussion segmented by specialty, i.e., Technology. Tyler and Ed to follow-up with speciality potential business.

1. Networking Events (To increase membership)

• Picnic
• Outdoor Fitness

1. Volunteer Opportunities
