NO PARKING AT OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB!
The Outrigger announced to us late last week that they will be closing their parking garage to everyone except OCC members for at least 8 months starting January 15.  We know this will inconvenience some and might present a significant challenge for others.  The board is looking for parking alternatives and reevaluating locations outside of OCC for our regular meetings. 
 
Alternate Parking: There is usually ample parking around Kapiolani Park on Kalākaua Avenue at only 25 cents per half hour (coin meters - so bring quarters!) For those who can walk a little further, Jim Harrow alerted us to Paki Avenue on the mauka side of the park that has free parking with no time limit.  Please let President Joanna know if you have mobility issues or need assistance with parking and she will connect you with members who can provide assistance.  Click here to email her!

It was another great meeting filled to the brim with happy Rotarians and guests!   
2024.01.20 Beer Fest Fun!
This past Saturday the venue - Bishop Museum's Great Lawn was packed with volunteers from RCOH, their friends and Rotarians from other Clubs.  All came together to pour beer to the throng of festive folks! 
 
It is always a lot of fun to be a volunteer!  If you missed out on this one, your next opportunity will be June 22, 2024!   
 
Way to go, PE Tom Coyne for always doing a great job putting these events together with the sponsors! 
Getting to Know Bob Robinson
Rotarian Linda Coble may be retired from TV and Radio broadcasting, but the joy of reporting remains. She will be interviewing many of our new and longtime members over the year, and their brief stories will be shared in the Tradewind.
 
TODAY'S FEATURED MEMBER IS BOB ROBINSON
 
When Bob Robinson was invited to join the Rotary Club of Honolulu in 1965 by sponsor Lou Price, he figured it was time to relish the honor of membership with business and community leaders he admired. Bob dove right into community service projects…
