Board member Hoala Greevy drops off an Uku he caught from his kayak to Roosevelt graduate Jeff Watanabe on March 14, 2011.
Hoala caught the Uku the day before out on the Waianae coast. He put it on ice for a day, then brought it to Jeff's house along with knife and cutting board. As part of his fish delivery package, Hoala filleted the Gray Snapper for Jeff's family. They enjoyed it sashimi style, yum!
In exchange for the personal fish delivery, Jeff made a generous donation to the Foundation's "Class of '94 Scholarship."

As alumni hold their class reunions, many of them have chosen to donate residual funds to the Foundation. These funds enable the Foundation to award scholarships to graduating seniors. Also, thanks to the encouragement and guidance of Ms. Barbara Kakuda and Neal Takamori, graduating classes have also donated the residual funds from their senior year activities to the Foundation. We are sincerely appreciative to the class members and Ms. Kakuda and Mr. Takamori for their generous contributions.

Chung-Hao Liao - Class of 2004
The school year 2006-2007 has been a very busy year for me. I maximized the amount of courses I could take per semester. I took mostly classes from my major, travel indus- try management. I was able to study different aspects of travel industry management ranging from the operations, hotel management, service enterprise, and information technology to back of the house functions like human resources, finance, and accounting. I did many case studies and group projects in these classes. Case studies helped me develop my critical thinking and interpretation skills while big group projects helped me improve my collaborative and communication skills.
