Aloha, Rotarians and Friends!
 
Greetings & Salutations!
  
Mahalo to our very own, Dr. Kandie George, for putting together a Club Team for the March for Babies!  We had a great team of 10 with Club members and friends! It was a beautiful day yesterday morning with just a few rain sprinkles.  Young men and women cheering us on along the walking path, loads of tents with health information and snacks, fun for the kids (they played Simon Says and it was great fun to watch), families, dogs . . . hundreds of folks turned out to support!   I was blessed to walk with Dr. Kandie George, and in doing so, I was able to personally meet the family and friends who were being honored.  Medicine has come such a long way - miracles are real!

CALL FOR PAUL HARRIS HOSTS
What is a Paul Harris week?
 
Instead of meeting at the Outrigger, we go into the community to deepen relationships with our fellow Rotarians.  It is a throwback to the founding days of Rotary when meeting locations would rotate each week among the offices of the members.
 
What is a Paul Harris HOST?
 
Hosts organize a location for a group of Rotarians to meet.  This is a great opportunity to showcase your office, have an intimate group at your home, introduce people to a nonprofit you support, or get together at an interesting location like a museum or new business in the community. The sky is the limit on where to host!
 
Hosts can decide if they will provide food or if members will pay their own way.  Sign up to host!  Choose: day, time, location, and if you will provide meals, no meals, or ask for a small fee to cover meals.
 
When?
The week of May 21st is our upcoming Paul Harris week. Hosts can select any day and time that week.
