Wally "Famous" Amos Returns
as SBH Sunrise Speaker for July
Wally Amos, owner of the Chip N' Cookie store in Kailua, will discuss &"How Not to Sell a Company" at the next Small Business Hawaii SBH Sunrise Networking Breakfast, 7 am, Thursday, July 27, in the Pineapple Room, Macy's, Ala Moana.
May's scheduled speaker State Rep. and Minority Leader, Lynn Finnegan, was sick and unable to speak so SBH turned the entire session into an enjoyable and profitable networking only session. SBH will schedule these sessions without a speaker at least twice a year.
John Mongahan head of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB), will review the visitor industry at the August 31 SBH Sunrise.
SBH Sunrise offers great networking, a teriffic speaker and full buffet breakfast for all those who attend.
Sponsor for the July Sunrise is Techniques Hawaii.
Members enjoy a free exhibit area. The public is welcome and parking is free. Cost: $20 for members and their guests who pay in advance; $30 for non-members and at the door if space is available.
June's SBH Sunrise Breakfast with Pam Chambers is sold out!

Governor, two U.S. House seats, one U.S. Senate seat, County Council, state school board and Office of hawaiian Affairs (OHA)contests are on the agenda. There will be state constitutional amendments and City Charter amendments to vote on as well. Between now and then, SBH will inform business owners on the candidates and issues.
As previously reported, two Senate and five House members will not be back next year. Senator Brian Kanno (D), subject of a recent state ethics commission investigation, decided to retire. Sen. Bob Hogue (R) is running for the 2nd Congressional District seat. In the House, Brian Schatz (D) gave up his seat to run for Congress while veteran lawmakers, all Democrats, Dennis Arakaki, Helene Hale and Ezra Kanoho are retiring. Republicans Chris Halford (Maui) and Hawaii Kai’s Bud Stonebraker will not run again. Rumors persist that Rep.
