I ka manawa o ka makahiki 75 o Skål International, ʻoi aku ma mua o 250 mau limahana mākaʻikaʻi mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua i ʻākoakoa ma Paris. Ua hoʻomaka ʻia nā hoʻolauleʻa me kahi pāʻina leʻaleʻa nui ma ʻApelila 27, 2009 ma ke Galerie des Fêtes i ka Hale Ahaolelo Lahui Farani ma lalo o ka malu o M. Bernard Accoyer, ka Pelekikena o ka hale ʻahaʻōlelo, a me Mr. Ertugrul Gunay, Kuhina no ka Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey, nāna i kākoʻo i ka ʻaina ahiahi a me ka paʻi ʻana o kahi puke e hōʻike ana i ka mōʻaukala o Skål i nā makahiki he 75 i hala.
Ma waho aʻe o nā lālā Skål a me nā malihini kūikawā mai nā hui honua ʻē aʻe, ua hele pū ʻia ka pāʻina gala e M. Henri Novelli, Kakauolelo o ka Moku'āina i mālama i ka mākaʻikaʻi, ke Aupuni Farani; na Peresidena o Farani/Turkish Parliamentary Friendship Committee, Mr. Michel Diffenbacher a me Mr. Yasar Yakis; Mr. Thierry Baudier, Luna Nui, Maison de la France; ka Luna Kalepa o Air France Mr. Christian Boireau; a he heluna nui o nā pelekikena hanohano a i hala o Skål International.
Ua hoʻomau ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana ma ka "World Skål Day" ma ʻApelila 28, 2009 me ka kipa ʻana i ka hale kupapaʻu ʻo Pere Lechaise, kahi i waiho ʻia ai kahi lei ma ka hale kupapaʻu o Florimond Volckaert, ka pelekikena hoʻokumu o ka hui a manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka makuakāne o Skål.
Ua ukali ʻia kahi pāʻina awakea ma luna o ka moku Bateaux Parisiens i ʻoi aku ma mua o 250 mau lālā a puni ka honua.
Ua wehe ʻia kahi plaque kūikawā e ka pelekikena o Skål International Hulya Aslantas ma ka Hotel Scribe no ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i ka makahiki 75th. Ua mālama ʻia ka hui mua o Skål ma Hotel Scribe i ʻApelila 1934, a ua hōʻailona ʻia kēia e kahi plaque i wehe ʻia i ka makahiki 1954 i ka manawa o ka makahiki 20.
Ma kāna kamaʻilio ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ka pelekikena o Skål International Hulya Aslantas, "He haʻaheo nui a me ka hanohano iaʻu ke lilo i pelekikena o ka honua Skal i kahi makahiki koʻikoʻi."
Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "Pono ʻo Skål e hana i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i kahi caliber e hōʻailona ai i kēia makahiki kūikawā a he manawa kūpono e hoʻoponopono ai i ke kūlana o kā mākou neʻe; Eia naʻe, ma luna o nā mea a pau, ʻo nā mea a mākou e hana ai, ʻo ka pahuhopu mua ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e kūpono i ko mākou mau kūpuna i haʻalele iā mākou i kahi moʻolelo hanohano."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ka makahiki 1930, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka mākaʻikaʻi he ʻoihana, a ʻaʻole hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia kona ʻano nui o kēia lā. Eia naʻe, ke nānā mākou i hope a hana i ka nānā pono ʻana, ʻo Skal International ka mea mua a me ka nui o ka hoʻolālā kīwila o ka honua ma ka mākaʻikaʻi me nā poʻe loea mai nā lālā āpau o ka ʻoihana ma lalo o kāna malu. Aia ʻo Skål ma 90 mau ʻāina me kahi hale paʻa loa me nā lālā he 20,000.
Me kēia mau hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa, ua hele ʻo Skal International i nā manawa loli, e lawe ana i nā ʻano a me nā ala like ʻole. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ʻo ka manaʻo koʻikoʻi ma ka "Friendship and Amicale," ka manaʻo kumu i hoʻokahi o nā kumu waiwai - e hoʻomohala i nā pilina aloha ma waena o nā ʻoihana.
Me ka lilo ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi i ʻoihana, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka makahiki 80 me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻokūkū a me nā ʻano ola wikiwiki, ua hoʻomaka nā lālā Skål e ʻike i kona mana pūnaewele, a ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka manaʻo "Doing Business Among Friends" e ka pelekikena Matanyah Hecht. Ua koho ka pelesidena mua, ʻo Mary Bennett, i poʻomanaʻo peresidena, "Tourism through Friendship & Peace," me ke kahakaha ʻana i ka hana koʻikoʻi e hiki i nā lālā Skål ke pāʻani ma ia ʻano, he kumuhana i hōʻike mua ʻia e ka pelekikena mua ʻo Uzi Yalon.
I ka makahiki 1998, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka "SKALITE" Quality Awards mua no ka huki ʻana i ka manaʻo i ka maikaʻi ke loaʻa ka mana o ka mākaʻikaʻi lehulehu.
I ka makahiki 2002, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Skål International i ka Ecotourism Awards e kōkua i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka ʻike honua i ka "hoʻomau," a i kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai ua apono ʻia e ka pelekikena ʻo Litsa Papathanassi ma kāna kumuhana, "Sustainable Development in Tourism," e kuhikuhi ana i nā lālā Skål a me ka honua i nā waiwai a mākou e nānā pono ai me kā mākou mau hana ʻoihana ʻē aʻe.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hulya Aslantas, ua koho ʻo ia i kāna poʻomanaʻo pelekikena, "Bridging the Cultures" e hoʻomanaʻo i nā lālā o Skål i ke kuleana e hiki ai iā mākou ke lawe ma ke ʻano he "ʻelele o ka maluhia" - e hōʻoia i kā mākou mau huakaʻi huakaʻi e nānā i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā moʻomeheu, a laila e kōkua i ka e hoʻonui i ka ʻike ma waena o nā lāhui a hāʻawi i ka maluhia honua, kahi mea e pono ai i kēia mau lā.
Haʻaheo loa ʻo Skål i kona ʻano he hui nona ka "hoaloha a me ka pilina" ma ke kumu a ke hoʻomau nei i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā kumuhana koʻikoʻi. Eia kekahi, ʻo wai lākou a ma hea lākou e kū nei i kēia lā ma ke ʻano he "alakaʻi honua i ka mākaʻikaʻi," manaʻoʻiʻo nō hoʻi ʻo Hulya ʻo kā lākou kuleana ke lawe i nā kuleana i ka ulu olakino a hoʻomau o ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi.
Ua makemake ka pelekikena i nā lālā a pau o Skål, ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa, i mau makahiki hou o ka hauʻoli, ke olakino maikaʻi, ka pilina, a me ke ola lōʻihi.
