Is there any sound more pleasant than a

child’s laughter? Definitely! It is the sound

of our SHRM Aloha members singing to their

heart’s content and having a great time!The members had a wonderful time

showing off their talented vocals, socializing

with one another, listening to each other’s

karaoke favorites, and enjoying the pizza,

(particularly Maggie Hinshaw, seen proudly

displaying her pizza.) Alex (Alejandro)

Baclaan stated that he “had a great time

with some of the most amazing people!” He

especially found it memorable when

everyone was singing “Alejandro” by Lady

Gaga to him. “I used to hate that song, but

now I like it!” exclaimed Alex.

“Work all day, work it all night.” The SHRM XXL

Aloha Chapter did exactly that during their

Magic Mike dance performance! Although

weather conditions were not ideal, we still had

a great bonding experience and had lots of fun!

The purpose of Super Clubs Day is to bring all

the Shidler clubs together and initiate some

friendly competition. By playing as a team, this

helps bring the club even closer. Even throughthe rain, our members continued to cheer on

the sidelines for our volleyball and football

teams. It was difficult to maintain enthusiasm

when we were not winning or when it started

pouring rain. However, this did not stop our

members from continuously encouraging one

another. Therefore, out of all of the Shidler

clubs, the SHRM Aloha Chapter truly becamecloser together and that makes SHRM the

winner of Super Clubs Day.
