______________________________________________________MDA SoireeBy Ramy So, Girl Reporter

Birds are singing and flowers are blooming. Ind

spring is here and its time for the Muscular Dystro

Associations 11th Annual Spring Soiree.

It was held on Saturday, April 24th, at the Royal HawaHotel. As always for a worthy cause, the Honolulu Chin

Jaycees donated their time to help with the fundrais

event.

Muscular dystrophy is a group of disorders that invo

muscle weaknesses and loss of muscle tissue that get wo

over time. Becker muscular dystrophy is the most comm

form of the disorder.

It occurs in about 1 in 30,000 male births and causes progressive muscle weakness that usually beginhe legs. The Muscular Dystrophy Association helps fight against the disorder by providing applied scien

nvestigation, medical services and clinical care, and widespread public health education.

The Soiree Food & Fun

The MDA Soiree was an evening that included signature

dishes from Hawaii top restaurants, refreshing elixirs, and

ively music & dancing. The Honolulu Chinese Jaycees were

ed by John Cummings and provided security for the event.

We ensured ticket holders enjoy the festivities without the

disturbance of drunken party crashers. We also directed lost

guests and guarded the auction items.

At the end of the night, HCJers were able to take off their

ecurity badge and let loose. As a reward for our assistance

o the event, we were able to enjoy the myriad of dishes and

beverage offering.

Ultimately, HCJ was pleased to donate their services to a worthy cause and look forward to next yeMDA Soiree.

__________________Meet Your Board Matt Wong EditioI am a 4th generation Chinese boy, born and raised in Honolulu

Hawaii. I grew up as a middle child with 2 sisters. I went toLutheran High School of Hawaii, then to Kapiolani CommunityCollege, and then eventually on to the University of Hawaii @Manoa.

Currently, I am a Financial Advisor at Ameriprise FinancialServices working under the practice of Joanne Watanabe, SeniorFinancial Advisor, CFP, CLU. As a Financial Advisor, Im able tohelp my clients by looking at the bigger picture, rather than just onor two aspects, such as investments and taxes.

Taking this comprehensive, holistic approach to financialplanning allows me to serve my clients more effectively and

efficiently so they can achieve their short and long term financialgoals.

Being part of a team with a Senior Financial Advisor is a greatadvantage because it provides me access her 15+ years of

experience in the industry. This additional knowledge and expertise allows me to give the best combinatioof service and help to my current and future clients.

In my spare time I love being outdoors, doing activities such as hiking, kayaking, and camping. Overaenjoy both watching and playing sports, especially volleyball and basketball. Im really excited about theupcoming World Cup soccer tourney in South Africa, GOUSA! When not outdoors, I also enjoy playingMahjong, poker, and video games.

I feel that organizations like HCJ are a good avenue to give back and support the community. Events

he Healthy Baby Contest and Adopt-a-School are excellent programs to plug into to ( talk to Sarah Youngand Krystal Lee for more info).

I look forward to participating in community events such as these and others throughout the years tocome. I am also a member of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce of Hawa

and the Young Business Council.

In the Japanese Chamber of Commerce I am a member of the Art Committee, which plans one of themost prestigious art shows in Hawaii. These shows typically feature a well-known artist and have entries

rom hundreds of other local artists. If you are interested in the arts and would like to volunteer or helpsponsor the show, let me know.

Currently in my second year as a Chinese Junior Chamber member and one of the acting Vice

Presidents I am still learning more about this organization and figuring out all its intricacies. Its an excitinopportunity that allows me to participate in A LOT of activities and meet a lot of great people along the walook forward to the rest of my time as Vice President and hope to contribute significantly to the chamber

during my time. Mahalo.
