ROTARY ACTION TEAM PROJECT - MAY
Calling all members & friends!   
 
This Saturday is the last opportunity to join in!  
 
Come in the morning or join in the afternoon or BOTH! 
 
We need both DIYers and all other skills (sweep, wash, dust, scrub, vacuum)!
 
YMCA of Honolulu NEEDS YOU!  The help request is to refurbish residential facilities at the Atkinson Central facility.   YMCA of Honolulu provides housing at low-to-no cost and low-barrier to those who are housing insecure, or in need of transitional housing - many are houseless-but-working folks. ATKINSON'S affordable housing fills a critical need for this population.   
 
YOUR help will bring more residential units online so those on a daily waitlist can gain access to the services and get off the street!    
- general repair/fix up, painting, housecleaning - 
Something for everyone! 
 
The Board of Trustees of the Foundation of the Rotary Club of Honolulu nominate the following members to serve a 3-year term as Trustee beginning July 1, 2025.  Voting on the slate of candidates will be held at the beginning of the Tuesday, May 28 noon lunch meeting.  Please join us in person at the Outrigger Canoe Club or via Zoom to cast your vote and show your support.  We need to reach quorum, so even if you can only join for the first 10 minutes of the meetings, we need you there.  Come support your fellow members!

Shout out to Tracey Wiltgen, fellow Rotarian and Executive Director of the Mediation Center of the Pacific.  MCP was awarded the Emil Gumpert Award and $150,000 by the American College of Trial Lawyers to support the Early Eviction Mediation Program.  The award recognizes programs whose principal purpose is to maintain and improve the administration of justice.
May 28: Hybrid Lunch Meeting
Guest Speaker, Neal Milner

Join us to hear guest speaker, Neal Milner!

Dr. Neil Milner is an Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he taught for over forty years. Earlier, he also taught at Northwestern University and Grinnell College.
 
He is a political analyst for KITV (you may have seen him being interviewed on election days), a columnist for the newspaper Civil Beat, and a contributing editor on Hawaii Public Radio's "The Conversation." He is also an actor, storyteller, occasional playwright, and a book author. His most recent book THE GIFT OF UNDERPANTS has nothing to do with politics.
