Meeting: Children & Youth Day Recap

President's Message

​Aloha Rotary E-Club Ohana,

We had a terrific time at the Children & Youth Day event at the State Capitol this past weekend. Tens of thousands of people came to celebrate our community's keiki and enjoy the day's festivities and food (Slush Puppies!) Thanks to Laine, Susan, Capsun, Dick, Kathleen and guests (Naz and Larry) our information booth was fully staffed and we handed out hundreds of goodie bags to the children. We met several Rotarians from other clubs and even a few from Taiwan and Japan that were visiting Hawaii :)  

Upcoming Workshops:
1) Membership & Foundation Grants Training on Saturday 10/7 from 8-12 at Chaminade University. Please email me if you would like to attend. The cost is $10

Upcoming Projects:
1) Hoola Napua Pearl Gala Fundraising Dinner on Saturday 10/14 (mandatory training on 10/5 for those who would like to attend)
