2014 Year end General Meeting Announcement

Aloha CROCC and our supporters!!!

As we head towards the end of 2014 its getting to be the time to reflect on the year we had. The Club had an incredible year in which we grew by almost cub growth (went from 12 members to 42!!), Crews placed in first and second places within their divisions, and celebrated several weddings along the way. Mahalo nui loa to each of you! I hope each of you realize how proud I am of what you each accomplished this year!

With the close of the 2014 year also come the transition of previous Board to 2015 Board. Before I announce the 2015 Board of directors, I would like to first express my sincere thanks to the 2014 Board members. Your contribution and sacrifice is not always recognized, but I would like to thank each of you for your leadership and say that the Club would not have come as far as it has without your hard work.

I am pleased to announce the 2015 board as follows:

President – Doug Keeney
Vice President – Kate Dilworth
Secretary – Sheryl Bruno
Tresurer – Cris Trimble
Sargent at Arms – Liz Nelson
Head Coach (Board Appointed) – James Jackman

Again Thank you all! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to seeing each of you on the water.

CROCC President & Assistant Coach

Mahalo to Mountain Home Outrigger Canoe Club to hosting a challenging race. What a fantastic day to be out on the water. It was fun for all who participated in the event even if we got a little wet from the rain. The day started off warm and dry but Mother Nature decided to gave us a nice shower to start the race.

Both crews did a great job and finished in the top three for the Novice Mixed crews. The crews and results are below:

  • 2nd place – CROCC Novice Crew 1 ( Jeanne, An, Josh, Adam, Jeanelle, and Doug) – 1 hr 22 min 22 sec
  • 3rd place – CROCC Novice Crew 2 (Taylor, Robin, Nani, Cindy, Kekai, and Justin) – 1 hr 31 min 34 sec

Three Days of Aloha – Recap

What a great time out at Ester Short park with the folks from Ke Kukui Foundation and the wonderful folks who came to visit and ask questions. Thanks to all the crew that showed up and supported CROCC in this event. We had a great response from the public and were able to bring back a lot of memories with Po’ Anuenue.
