A MESSAGE FROM ROSALYNN COOPER
Good morning,
Our District Conference is fast approaching. If you have not yet registered - now is the time to do so. And yes, that includes registering for our 'End Polio Now Walk to create awareness'.
We have 54 clubs in our District including Rotaract Clubs. Each club is challenged to contribute at least $1,500 toward ‘Ending Polio’. Let’s meet this challenge. We can do this.
Despite what's going on in the world today - Rotary is neither stopping nor slowing down in fulfilling the promise made to the world’s children of a polio free world.
Let's walk to show our support. Let's walk to show our commitment. Let’s walk to solidify our resolve to stay the course and keep that promise.
The upcoming District conference is coming up and we will once again have an amazing House of Friendship. We want and need you to share some of your projects and initiatives in a booth so we can learn from each other. You have worked hard this last year and having a booth is a wonderful way of exhibiting your Club's successes. Please discuss how you can share at your next meeting and complete the attached form.
You are not required to be in the House of Friendship the entire time during the district conference, but it is always a fun and informative place to be! Come be with us. Find out more information on the website and please get the form back to me asap. FORM HERE
Looking forward to seeing you at the Ala Moana Hotel from May 30th - June 1st. See you at the celebration of our District 500.
Aloha and Mahalo, Kathleen
House of Friendship Chair

As a humanitarian organization, Rotary makes peace a cornerstone of our mission. And so, Promoting Peace is one of our seven Areas of Focus. The Rotary Peace Fellowship and its Peace Centers train leaders to prevent and mediate conflict through fully-funded fellowships for a Master’s Degree or Professional (post-graduate) Certificate in Peace and Conflict Resolution.
Applications for the new academic year, Fall of 2026, are now available. I serve as the D5000 main point of contact and support for the Rotary Peace Fellowship, and I ask for your help in finding qualified candidates. If you or your suggested candidate have questions or seek more information, please contact me directly.
