SBH SUNRISE JANUARY 26, 2006.

Charles Djou Speaks at SBH Sunrise

Small Business Hawaii kicks off the New Year with its most popular regular program, the SBH Sunrise Networking Breakfast, 7 am, Thursday, January 26, at the Pineapple Room, Macy’s, Ala Moana.

Our special guest speaker will be City Councilmember, friend of small business and taxpayers, and Chair of the Parks Committee, Charles Djou of Oahu’s District 4. Often it is Djou’s lone “no” vote that stands out from the big spenders. Come meet and support him!

The Sunrise will be held 12 times this year — the last Thursday of each month with great networking, a terrific speaker and full buffet breakfast.

Even though prices have gone up, SBH will hold the line at 2001 prices; $20 for SBH members and their guests who reserve in advance. Until January 20, members who want a discount of two free breakfasts can prepay $200 (a $240 value) for the entire year.

Last month, Tom Jones of Gyotaku Japanese Restaurant, spoke on “Hawaii’s Restaurant Industry.”

All attendees present introductions of their business and themselves. SBH Members enjoy a free exhibit area.

The public is welcome. Parking is free and easy. Reserve your seat today by downloading the PDF form (link below) and sending it in with your payment to SBH by January 24.
