Saturday, April 5, 2025 8:00am - 11:00am McKinley High School Campus
The 2024 Speech Festival comprised over 350 students from 34+ of our district’s elementary schools. We plan to have more students participating this year and as such, we will be needing a large number of judges yet again.
The success of the Speech Festival for thirty-three years is possible because of the many volunteers from the district and school levels and from our community organizations and businesses.
Please use this 2025 Speech Festival Judges (Google Form) if you are interested in volunteering to be a judge for the 2025 Honolulu District Speech Festival. Please forward this information to others in your organization who would also be interested in volunteering as a judge. All judges will receive more detailed instructions and information as the date of the event nears.
Mahalo for your consideration!

Career Day at Ka'iulai Elementary – Let’s Inspire the Next Generation! We are looking to create a partnership with Ka'iulani Elementary School - they are very excited to have our support and involvement! We’ve been invited to participate in an elementary school Career Day, where we’ll visit 3–4 classrooms and speak briefly (just a few minutes!) about what we do. These are K–5 students, so you don’t need to give a full resume or explain complex industry stuff. The goal is to spark curiosity and show kids that careers come in many shapes—and that it’s okay to dream big (or change their minds later!). EVERYONE has an interesting story, even YOU! Event Details WHEN: Wednesday 05/21/25 8-930am DEADLINE TO SIGN UP: 04/17/25 Thursday WHO: Any member of our club WHAT: 10 volunteers needed!

Jane Goodsill shares her favorite antidotes from her Voices of Hawai`i books
Jul 28, 2025
Bio for Jane Marshall Goodsill For Jane Marshall Goodsill, Voices of Hawai`i began as a labor of love. A kama`āina ("child of the land," native-born) accomplished in the art of oral history, she began interviewing Island residents. Avocation soon became vocation. As Goodsill's joy in recording these life stories grew, so too did her pool of subjects: business executives, war veterans and POW's, retired plantation managers, Island entertainers, conservationists, retailers, ranchers activists, judges, journalists and so many others. Taken together, their oral histories told a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tale of Hawai`i's journey from the World War II era into the 21st century. These were people who had in some way, large or small, impacted Hawai`i's destiny, and Goodsill soon realized that the treasury of anecdotal history she had assembled was too rich to keep to herself. Her voluminous interview transcripts were too weighty for a single volume and better suited for historical archives. But the best of these candid interviews - compelling tales of deals made and glass ceilings shattered, of ancient ways revived and legacy lands preserved - were gathered together under the themes of Island life: history, race, land use, art and music, philanthropy, development and the spirit of aloha. This is Voices of Hawai`i, Jane Goodsill's unique anthology of oral history, a rare collective view of a society in transition. |
