Happy New Year Committee Members!

A friendly reminder that our monthly Membership Committee Mtg is coming up next Tuesday, Jan. 14 from 12 - 1:30 p.m. at Harvey and Helene's home, 569 Puloku St. in Sunrise Estates.

The meeting will be focused mostly on the club's membership numbers and brainstorming plans to attract and engage in the second half of our year.  I will also be going over the District's brand new, exciting initiative - "Aloha Action Campaign."  

LUNCH - Bring your own.  Keeping things very simple - our regular committee meetings are not pot luck.  We will be doing fun, pot luck Membership celebration meetings a few times a year, like our Christmas meeting/get together.  So fun, esp. with the grab bag giveaways!  But let's keep it simple for this one.

See you on Tuesday!  I'll try to send out an agenda, but if I don't pls just come!  👍🏻 Connie

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to deliver a 10lb bag of rice to our next membership meeting on February 28th, at the Grand Naniloa Hotel.  We want to deliver a1000lbs of rice to assist the Foodbank. As always, if you are unable to complete this mission, the secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions and have you deliver your package to Day Lum’s Hilo office located at 1477 Kīlauea Ave. 

This message will self destruct in 5 seconds...

For many young people facing homelessness or housing instability, finding a safe space and the right support can feel overwhelming. That’s why Neighborhood Place of Puna is proud to introduce the Anchor Point Youth Center, a new drop-in center in downtown Hilo designed specifically for youth and young adults aged 14 to 24 who need a helping hand.

Anchor Point Youth Center is the result of a collaborative effort between HOPE Services Hawai’i, Neighborhood Place of Puna, and The Salvation Army. Together, these organizations have created a space where young people can access critical resources and build a foundation for a brighter, more stable future.

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it, is to form eleven teams of like minded Rotarians, to adopt one of eleven Rotary Rooms and fill them with the “must have” items on the attached list. As always, if you are not able to find a team of Rotarians, the Secretary will assign you a team.  

This will be our Rotarians At Work Day project for April. Let’s get working to help fill these rooms for Foster Children that are “aging out” of their families and in need of a new place to call home. 

This event, chaired by Virginia Juergen, D5000 Paul Harris Society Chair and member of the Rotary Club of Hilo Bay, and supported by joint club members and Foundation chairs will have two distinguished speakers:  Vicki Publiz - Incoming Rotary Foundation Trustee & past Rotary International Director 2022-2023) Reno, NV.  Shirley Grace - Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator for Zone 26, Fresno, CA.

More details will be shared soon - stay tuned!

Aloha,

Just wanted to remind everyone about tomorrow's monthly activities with our Veterans at the Yukio Okutsu State Veterans Home from 10am-11am. It is open to all Rotarians, and our partner organizations. These are moments we cherish in spending just a little bit of time with our Veterans and we know how much these visits mean to them. We hope you can join us!  Mahalo for everything you do—let’s work together to make this effort a resounding success!
