Aloha Rotarians,
We have an exciting meeting planned this week and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there. Don't forget to invite your friends and family!
This week, we’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year as well as Valentine’s Day. Aileen Fong has been planning activities for these two festive occasions that bring joy, reflection, and connection. We encourage everyone to wear something red, festive, or Valentine‑themed to help us celebrate in true Rotary spirit.
In addition to the celebrations, we are thrilled to welcome our guest speaker who will be joining us to share valuable insights.
Join Keli‘i Akina with the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii to learn how grassroots advocacy turned into real legislative wins in 2025 and what lies ahead in 2026. The presentation highlights key efforts on tax relief, housing, rebuilding reforms, and government accountability, explains the challenges ahead, and shows how citizens can get involved in shaping Hawaii’s future.
We hope you’ll join us on Wednesday February 11, 12 PM at the Waikiki Yacht Club for this lively and meaningful gathering!
Mahalo,
Claire Parcon
Program Chair
