HSK BLOOD DRIVE - February
17, 2020
"Things are looking up!!"
exclaimed Sensei. "We ended the day donating only 22 pints of blood, our lowest
total in 7 years! However, thanks to Ed Teruya and Senpai Alan
Reynolds, who were both deferred but came back to try again, we are now up to 24
pints!!!"
"I started committing HSK to community service projects
because I could feel that our members, at that time, were willing and able to
help those in need. Unfortunately, the complexion and concern of our
membership
has changed, and less people, including Senpais, are willing to give of
themselves."
On the brighter side, we had
another tremendous response from most of our Senpais, including our brown belts!
Special thanks to Ciena Swafford, Matthew Matsumoto, and Ed Teruya who, despite
difficulties, continue to make the effort to help our HSK Ohana. "Ed
(Senpai Cassie's Dad) made a special effort to come back the following day to donate! Our HSK Ohana is a very
special group of generous and caring people who sincerely want to make a
positive impact on our community, Hopefully more members will feel the
amazing pride and satisfaction gained from helping our island community live
better lives!" stated Sensei.
A reminder that you will be
eligible to donate again in 8 weeks. Those who were unable to donate this
time, please try again as soon as possible. It may not be as much fun
without your Ohana, but you can take pride in knowing that you are helping someone
in need. Please designate your donation for Hawaii Shotokan Karate, code
2123, and
let Sensei know if you are successful so that your name can be added to our list
of donors. YOU ARE AWESOME, HSK!
