MEMBER SPOTLIGHT BY LINDA COBLE

ROTARY IN ACTION
Making the World a Better Place
Over the past few weeks members and community came together to make and then toss Genki Balls with the dream and goal of making the Ala Wai clean by 2026.  This dream is becoming reality as marine life begins to reappear!   
 
There are many Clubs across the Islands and a Rotarian is a Rotarian.  We are all working with a common goal to uplift and serve!   So please remember, . . . 
 
When we partner up with other Clubs everyone wins!  We are united in improving the world around us and uplifting our community - so when the opportunities arise - jump on in and lend a hand!  
 
Check out the District Calendar and see where you can utilize your time and talents!  
Nominate a Rotarian!

The Rotary Club of Honolulu runs on our member volunteers.  We want to acknowledge all the contributions that our members make...big, small, on the stage, behind the scenes, time, treasure, talent.... it all matters!  Tell us who you think makes a difference in our club and why!  The nominations can be for silly or serious awards.  The sky is the limit!

IMPORTANT UPDATES TO LUNCH REGISTRATION
We are working to make registering and attending lunch meetings easier on our members.  To that end we are introducing some new changes to registration:
  • Register and pay online - starting with our February 27 lunch meeting, anyone registering for an event will be asked to pay with a credit card at the time of registration.  This will make it easier to register by reducing the number of times you have to click.  It will also reduce you wasting time standing in line waiting to pay.  If you register online, just pick up your name tag, grab lunch and fellowship with other Rotarians and guests!  Registration closes 24 hours before the event.
  • Walk-ins welcome for a fee - we welcome walk-ins and know some of you don't know if you can make it until the last minute.  Please join us!  But, that flexibility, convenience and privilege are not free.  We will be charging $50 at the door for members and guests who do not pre-register.  This will take effect starting at the March 5 lunch meeting.
  • Sign up for prepaid lunches - we know some of our members are tired of having to register and pay for individual lunches.  We hear you!  So we are offering a prepaid lunch option on a trial basis.  You can sign up for $130 a month or $500 for the rest of the Rotary year.  This option gives you even more freedom to attend the lunch meetings without having to hassle with online registration!  Click here to let Lee know you are interested and for full details.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we try new things to make the Club better for everyone!
