Rotary Club of East Honolulu’s Fun Weekend Helping at Aina Haina Library Book Sale!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to our Rotarian and Friends of Rotary Volunteers!

The Rotary Club of East Honolulu had a blast volunteering at the Annual Aina Haina Library Book Sale! We helped with selling in the media area and cleaning up, making lots of new friends and sharing plenty of smiles along the way!

Our club members spent the weekend arranging CDs DVDs LPs and other media, and helping out at the sales table. We all enjoyed chatting with visitors and helping them find great movies! After the sale, we rolled up our sleeves and cleaned up the place, leaving it nice and tidy.

This event helped raise money for the library and brought people together to celebrate reading! Our club was thrilled to lend a hand and be a part of strengthening our community bonds.

District Governor Mark Merriam's Club Visit

The Rotary Club of East Honolulu had a lively meeting with a special guest: Rotary District 5000 Governor Mark Merriam, and surprise drop in District Governor Elect Ted Faigle and his partner Rick. With an engaging mix of 15 members and guests (including 2 prospective new members,) the atmosphere was both upbeat and collaborative. The food provided by member Kelli Chun and President Cheryl was a traditional fried chicken meal and Korean chicken and sides - and everyone left with a bento!

Mark dove into Rotary's D 5000's goals with enthusiasm, sprinkling in some light-hearted anecdotes. Yet, when he touched upon the serious topic of supporting Maui post-fire, everyone felt the gravity, and also pride at how much Rotarians around the world had contributed to this cause. The session ended on a high, with the group feeling motivated and sharing many laughs. It was clear that even amidst serious discussions, Rotary knows how to blend purpose, good food and a dash of fun.

Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk - RCEH Represented!

The Rotary Club of East Honolulu joined with several clubs to support Suicide Prevention!

We even had a chance to get a photo with President Cheryl and the Mayor Rick Blagiardi!

Here are some photos of the day and a link to the District Website update. https://rotaryd5000.org/Stories/out-of-the-darkness%E2%80%99-a-world-day-of-hope-and-awareness
