My year as your Club President is coming to a close.I believe each member, in their own way, contributed to the great opportunities we were presented, making a difference in our community and internationally. Rotary is an opportunity to be of service to others and for growth.
One of our big changes this year was the implementation of more Pau Hanas and Restaurant Weeks based on the survey responses from you, our Club members. These presented us opportunities to get to know more about our fellow members, grow stronger and closer to each other, rekindle old relationships and make new friends.
As we celebrate our Change of Command next week, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support. I encourage you to continue "creating oneself endlessly" under the leadership of our incoming President, Tom Coyne.
Mahalo for this great opportunity for my own growth as your Club President!
Wear your Rotary shirts, sunscreen, hats, and bring your water container to stay hydrated! Use the Volunteer SignUp pages. We can never have too many helping hands!
Join us as we transition our leadership from President Joanna Amberger to President Elect Tom Coyne. Our Change of Command celebrations are full of fun, laughter, and yes, even some tears.
In commemoration of Joanna's fun-loving spirit, wear fun head attire!
Register as soon as possible! Come bid Joanna a fond farewell as our President while welcoming Tom in as our new President.

Reminder of 2024-2025 Dues Increase
Incoming President Tom Coyne has been working closely with our current and 2025 Club Treasurer Lucci Pinoliad, as well as with current President Joanna Amberger to finalize our budget for 2025. With membership staying steady at 117 members and with inflation increasing the cost of operating the club, we have little choice but to implement an increase for our membership dues. The chart shows the current dues rate and the new dues rate effective July 1, 2024.
Our incoming Board Director of Service Programs, Nancy Youngren has called us to help support "Monitors for Maui"!
WILL YOU HEED THE CALL?
Do you, or your family, friends, or co-workers, have any gently used computer monitors that need a good home? Please consider donating them to Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies for their project providing computers to students on Maui affected by the wildfires. Any kind, any size will be appreciated.
Please contact Nancy and she will coordinate a pickup from you. Thank you for your kokua in helping to make a difference for the children on Maui.
Greeters! Bring your amazing spirits and smiles! Welcome members and guests!
Pledge Leaders! Even if you are shy, this is a good way to start braving the waters to stand before your fellows and lead them for a few moments!
Inspiration!Everyone has something that has touched them, helped them, or just brought some joy. This might be through a personal experience, a quote, a poem, some wholesome laughter from a funny joke, a short story, ... whatever inspires you or whatever you feel will inspire others - we want to hear from YOU!
Apologies. Apparently, the link isn't working properly, so please email and let me know when and what you can help with! Mahalo!
The Rotary Club of Honolulu's Gift of Sound Committee would like to remind folks of Rotary/Miracle Ear’s ‘Free’ hearing aid program. Please read the Generations Magazine article for more information.
Also note, the old Rotary number is in the article. Rotary’s new phone number is: 808.457.6356.
Better yet, all anyone qualifying for a free hearing aid can go to any Miracle Ear in Hawaii. Miracle Ear will contact Rotary for the application fee when needed. Simple, huh?
Best advice to everyone over the age of 55.
Please get a hearing exam every 3 years.
Just for the sake of sound mind and body.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
Rick Tabor, ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ Questions welcomed.
FYI - Please help spread the word. Only 16% needing hearing aids, wear them. We’re offering an improvement.

Mahalo for speaking with the Rotary Club of Honolulu, Dane! Wow! And congratulations on the addition to your family!
It was a great lunch meeting! Two new inductees with time getting to know Dane and what is going on with our Honolulu Symphony Orchestra!
