Dear Friends and Fellow Rotarians,
I am thrilled to announce that July 1 marks my first day as President of the East Honolulu Rotary Club. As I step into this role, I am filled with enthusiasm and a strong sense of purpose to lead our club toward new heights. My primary goals for the upcoming year include:
1. Doubling Our Membership: We aim to expand our reach and impact by increasing our membership. More members mean more hands to make a difference in our community.
2. Enhancing Community Service: We plan to collaborate with other Rotary clubs to amplify our community service activities, creating a larger, more positive impact.
3. Establishing an E-Club: Under the East Honolulu Rotary Club umbrella, we will launch an E-Club to offer more flexibility and inclusivity for members who prefer virtual meetings.
4. Boosting Donations:We will work to increase contributions to our international and district foundations. By encouraging both members and non-members to sign up for automatic contributions on the Rotary Club website, we can support even more global and local initiatives.
Given that our past two presidents and I are all educators, our club will emphasize promoting education within our community. We are committed to supporting both students and teachers in meeting their needs.
Our bi-monthly meetings are held at Assaggio in Ala Moana Center on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 5:30 PM, with only two exceptions this year.
I warmly invite my Facebook friends and anyone interested in our mission to attend these meetings and submit their membership applications on the East Honolulu Rotary website.
I look forward to seeing you at our meetings and welcoming you to join our monthly community service projects. As I often share with my friends, my happiest moments come from helping others. I hope to share many of these happy moments with you in the near future. Thank you for your support, and I am excited to embark on this journey together.
Lillian Shaw
President 2024-2025
Celebrating 65 years of Service!
Honolulu,
