In true embodiment of "Service Above Self," Rotary Club of Hilo President Newton Chu is taking his commitment to new heights—or rather, new distances. This June, Newton will represent District 5000 and Hawaii at the Rotary International Convention in Taipei, Taiwan, but not before tackling an inspiring challenge: joining over 300 Rotarians from around the world to ride more than 500 kilometers around Taiwan to raise funds for Polio Plus.
"I have learned that International Rotarians are more alike than we are different," Newton shares. "They care about their communities, they care about the world, they care about others." This ride represents more than just a physical challenge—it's a testament to our global Rotary family's shared dedication to eradicating polio worldwide. As our club celebrates its 105th year, Newton's journey reminds us that service knows no borders.

Mahalo and aloha!
