Public speaking club at kailua high
Leo o mana means "Voice of Power" in Hawaiian. It is the name that the students of Kailua High gave their public speaking club. To follow was the first installment of Leo o mana Spring 2023 semester. Elks Lecturing Knight Carl Kelley is introducing a new group of students to what the club has to offer. In essence, students learn effective verbal communication skills in order to grow their relationships and thereby lead more fulfilling and happy lives. After three weeks, the students take over and run the class like a Toastmasters International Club for the rest of the semester.

KAILUA BEACH CLEAN-UP
The first Saturday of each month, we patrol Kailua's beautiful 2.5 mile beach looking for trash. We never find much, but it inspires others to be vigilant. The the gratitude of the on-lookers is a bonus. We meet at 8:15am at Kailua Beach Park in front of the rest rooms across from Buzz's Steakhouse. Bring a trash bag and a trash picker.
