“Create Hope In The World”… is the 2023 International Rotary Theme…
What does “Create Hope In The World” mean to you?
If it means passing out school supplies at our schools, supporting the Maui Food
Bank each year, help clean up our beaches, provide dozens of rescue tubes at our
beaches, tutor and mentor students of all ages, provide annual $5000 Rotary
Scholarships, give various goodies to our kupuna during the holidays, give
vocational scholarships to members of our community pursuing careers ranging
from CDL training to farming and much more, donating multiple Christmas trees
to families over the Holidays, inviting members of our community and from all
over the world to come speak at our meetings to educate us on projects, business
and volunteer opportunities, provide monetary or physical support to rural
communities all over the world to help fight polio, build schools, fresh water and
help rebuild after disasters…
so come visit us any Tuesday morning at the Pioneer Inn to learn more of
upcoming community service projects and have fun with us!
From Hawai'i Rotary District Governor Mark Merriam:
August 9, 2023 was a tragic day for our Rotarians, families and friends on the Island of Maui. The fires across the island have changed lives forever. Truly devastating. Our sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted.
As people of action, we can take immediate action. As we come together to recover and rebuild, we need to support each other. We need to Create Hope for Maui.
Through our Rotary District 5000 Foundation, a relief fund has been established. Foundation President Dave Hamil and Treasurer Sharon Amano will handle all donations. A committee will be organized shortly to find the greatest needs for distribution of monies. A single fund will be the most helpful over time to provide the most significant benefits.
Mahalo to the Rotary Club of Waikiki for collecting monies at their lunch meeting today. These are the first contributions to the fund.
Please also widely share this opportunity to help.
Stay safe, take care and mahalo for creating hope.
