Dear President Kubota and Members:

I am honored and privileged to represent the Lions Club of Honolulu and to extend my warmest Aloha and heartfelt wishes to you and all the members of the prestigious Lions Club of Hiroshima in commemoration of your 50th Anniversary.

I can feel your joy on this occasion and sense the unity and pride you share as members of the Lions Club of Hiroshima. This is indeed a special moment for you; a time for old friends to come together to renew old ties and reflect on fond memories, as well as to forge new friendships and look forward to the future. For me, it is an honor and privilege to express my sincerest Mahalo and extend to you, my fellow Lions, my very best wishes.

The Lions Club of Hiroshima is synonymous with community service and proudly embodies the most fundamental principles of our International Lions community. For the past 50 years, you have provided invaluable services not only to your local community, but worldwide in many different ways.

In the past 41 years since the Lions Club of Hiroshima and Honolulu concluded a sister club agreement on November 18, 1963, we have enjoyed your warm friendship and sincere cooperation in making immeasurable contributions to worthy local and global causes, guided by the Lion's motto, “We Serve.”

On this, the Golden Anniversary of your Club, I wish to extend my personal congratulations, as well as a “Mahalo” on behalf of the Lions Club of Honolulu and the many grateful communities who have benefited from the excellent work of the Lions Club of Hiroshima. Again, my hearty congratulations on your 50th Charter Anniversary.

Nancy Tomczak
President, Lions Club of Honolulu
