This is a wonderful time of the year to spend with your family and friends.  Earlier this month we had a barbecue for our club at my home.  It was great to see my Rotary Ohana that could attend.  Mahalo Garry, Linda, Capsun, Linh, Biz, Glenn, and Mary that brought your wonderful dishes to share and enjoy with everyone.  Great job to Capsun on getting his first sponsor pin and Garry getting his 2nd sponsor pin for bringing in 4 members into Rotary.  

I’m hoping everyone is having a great Holiday Season!  Several weeks ago Ayman did a multi club New Focus presentation at the Kaneohe club for a bunch of clubs.  What he talked about his the new way Rotary encourages clubs to grow and retain their membership.  It was great to see current DG Del Green and first lady Diana, DGN Win, AG Jim McClelland, our AG Sandy Matsui, and our very own Garry and Biz (aka Sarge), among many others in attendance.  ​

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”!  It is Christmas and it’s my favorite time of the year.  It’s a time to spend time with family and friends and fellow Rotarians.  In going with the speaker's message this week, one of the reasons I stay in Rotary is because of all the wonderful people like you.
