Hawaii Harlequins Rugby Tournament
October 23 - 25, 2008
Kapiolani Park, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
This used to be one of the premier rugby tournaments in the country, with a diverse and international group of teams. When I first moved to Hawaii I showed up at the park with my cleats and picked up several games. I believe I played for one team from Australia and a team from Japan (but I could be mistaken, as that was many beers/years ago). I'll post more info as I find out. Definitely put this on your colander, though.
Hawaii State Rugby Union Meeting
November 15, 2008
Let's kick off the new season with even bigger and better things than we accomplished this year!
Kalihi Raiders Rugby Tournament
December 5 - 6, 2008
Kapiolani Park
This was a great little local tournament this past year, so expect the same or better this year. Definitely worth watching, and a great place to meet many of the local rugby crowd. It helped get me turned back on to rugby last year.

What a great season this year turned out to be. Thanks to Ma'afu (David Wendt), Union President, for all his hard work, and for all the hard work and dedication from all the teams, players, coaches, officials, fans, and supporters. Let's build on this year and make next year even better. Woo Hoo!!

SCORE Fundraising Event
I had a great time at the SCORE of Hawaii fundraiser last night. SCORE, for those of you who don't know, is a nationwide, non-profit, organization that offers free counseling to small businesses and startups. I'm a volunteer, but I'm not doing counseling yet. I'm working on the Volunteer Operations Committee, working on improving the training of new volunteers and developing some informational materials for potential recruits.
The event was an informal networking get-together, co-sponsored by several organizations. Thanks to the hosts and sponsors; Social Wahines (wahine is the Hawaiian word for woman, or women), a women's professional networking organization, Pacific Edge magazine, and Accents Gallery. I met several interesting people and visited with some colleagues. I enjoy networking events and meeting people, though I haven't always been comfortable in these situations. I've learned how to socialize from my APICS buddy's, Frank and Ken primarily. Frank is the master. I once left him alone for about 2 minutes, and when I got back to the table (we had dinner and a beer) he was deep in conversation with the people at the next table, like he'd known them for twenty years. I've still got a lot to learn.
When at an event, never pass up the chance to introduce yourself to whoever is standing next to you. I said hello to the woman standing next to me at one point, and it turns out (this is such a small island) that she works with one gentleman I know and the husband of another woman I know.
Here's a picture of me and Keith, another SCORE volunteer, at last night's event. Thanks to Thi at the harris consultancy (no capitalization on purpose) for the photo. She did a great job of acting as photographer and was also very interesting to talk with.
