President's Message - Capsun M. Poe, President 2016-2017Aloha Rotarians and Friends: Please join me in officially welcoming our two newest members who were inducted into our Club. Rotarian Susan Szabo and Rotarian Justin Chen were inducted last week Monday at our last Board meeting. Susan and Justin have already joined us for several social events and Board meetings, so we welcome them as full members of our Club and Rotary.  I know we have a couple prospects in the pipeline and have another member to induct soon, so I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of some Rotary Guiding Principles, including the Four-Way Test. I encourage you to read about these and acknowledge the positive energy it can infuse into your Rotary experience, profession, and personal life.

Sorry about the glitch we had with this message not saving correctly. Since it so late in the week, let me just say that I'm glad to report that we will have six of our members attend the Oahu District Assembly this Saturday. We will report back to everyone on what we learn. Please read on for updates on lots of projects and events going on with Rotary in the coming weeks. Mahalo! President's Message - Capsun M. Poe, President 2016-2017Aloha Rotarians and Friends:
First off, I'm happy to report that Susan Szabo was approved for membership in the Rotary E-Club of Hawaii. Apologies to Susan for the previous incorrect spelling of her name. All votes that were cast voted to approve her membership. Congrats and welcome, Susan! On a similar note, we have two new member votes going on right now. Please check your email for the link to the voting site. Our next Board meeting is on Monday and that is when we will induct Susan. If the other two members are approved, we will also induct them to our Club then. As always, Board meetings are open to all members. The Board meeting is our one chance to meet together in the same physical space on a monthly basis. While we conduct Board business, this is also when we do things that traditional Clubs do in their meetings - like recite the Four-Way Test. If you haven't attended one in person, I invite and encourage you to join us. In other big developments, Rotarians at Work Day is an annual tradition in Rotary. This year, it will be on Saturday, April 29. We have an opportunity to join and partner with the Rotary Club of Downtown Honolulu for a service project, so I encourage you to read about it and RSVP to Sean if you can join us. Finally, check out this week's speaker, Bethany Lerch, who articulates something that many of us have seen first hand, the impact of Rotary in our communities and in the world at large. Mahalo! President's Message - Capsun M. Poe, President 2016-2017Aloha Rotarians and Friends:
First off, we have a new member vote going on right now. Please check your email for the link to the voting site. When I joined the Rotary E-Club of Hawaii, I was pretty unfamiliar with Rotary lingo and opportunities, but fairly aware of the service projects Rotarians conducted throughout our community. Lucky for me, a few months after I joined, I was encouraged to attend a seminar that taught me about Rotary terminology, project resources like The Rotary Foundation, and allowed me to connect with others wanting to improve our community in some small or large way. You will have a similar chance to do that at the District Assembly coming up later this month. To tie in with our speaker, it is a way to get some mentoring going within our Club and our District, with Rotarians who are more than happy to share their knowledge and experience with others. I know I've mentioned it several times and it really is a great way to learn more about Rotary and find ways to help our Club serve our community. The next Oahu District Assembly will be on April 22 and information is available after our speaker. If you are interested in attending, there is a small fee, but most importantly, please email me at rotary@capsun.org so that I can submit your name. Finally, check out a lot of events, socials, and service projects coming up this month, including fellow Rotarian Tippi Cogen's upcoming partnership between Thrive Global and Bike Share Hawaii.
