Kailua Beach Pavilion Social

Posted on Feb 07, 2021

Our Kailua Rotary members are staying connected together during occasional in-person social events at the beautiful Kailua Beach Park pavilion! These casual "come as you are" meetings let us stay active and catch up with one another if a little more social involvement is needed than our projects and Zoom meetings! Our most recent February 7th meet up was a great chance to welcome new and potential members in person to our club.

Stop by and talk story with our Rotary family as we continue staying safe during these difficult times. See you next time!

Project: Beach Cleanup, Saturday, 6/6 at Kalama Beach Park

Posted by President Brenna Dicks on Jun 03, 2020

We understand it's disappointing that the Rotary International Convention was unable to go forward as planned in Honolulu on Saturday, June 6. Let's connect for good by instead meeting at Kalama Beach Park on that day from 8:00 am-10:00 am and gathering waste and micro-plastics off our beautiful beaches. This project is family-friendly, open to all, and a great way to get some fresh air and exercise! Coffee will be provided, so gather early for the best parking and a cup of motivation.

Rotarian Luke suggested bringing kitchen strainers to sift out larger microplastic pieces. Mahalo Rotarians Lauren and Alenka for this project idea! See you there and don't forget to wear your Rotary shirts and hats!

Project: Rotary Cares About Mental Health II

Posted by President Brenna Dicks on May 09, 2020

This past weekend, Windward Sunrise Rotarians and friends participated in an amazing local project in honor of May Mental Health Awareness Month! We worked together to renovate and revitalize the Group space at Windward Community Mental Health Clinic in Kāne’ohe. The Friday crew painted the room and touched up the lobby, with Saturday's crew hanging art, bulletin boards, and reassembling the group meeting space. Mahalo to all the phenomenal supporters and volunteers who helped make this awesome project happen for the clients of this important community health resource center!

Weekly WSRC Update

Posted by President Brenna Dicks on Apr 18, 2020

Aloha WSRC Rotarians and Friends,

Our online Windward Sunrise Rotary Club Zoom meeting is this Tuesday morning (4/21), at 7:15 am! We will use this time to check in with each other, go over what the club has been doing, and hear special guest speaker Ashley Wiberg, clinical social worker and Bobby Benson Center board member! Ashely provides therapeutic interventions for Oahu clients affected by abuse and domestic violence and her agency is interested in partnering with your Windward Sunrise Club for a Mother's Day project. Please e-mail or use the "Contact Us" form for the Zoom meeting log-ins! Our meeting space opens up at 7:00 am, so feel free to come in early as you sip your coffee and view our announcements.

Our small but mighty club was awarded the Fort Shafter Hui's $1,600 grant for our community projects! Mahalo nui loa for believing in the work we do in our Oahu community. This grant will help us provide immediate relief to families in need on our island. We cannot do what we do without selfless sponsorship from amazing community groups. Be sure to check out their website to see the initiatives they’re sponsoring this year!

Want to personally better our community this second? If you'd like to help those in need, here's your chance! Hawaii Food Bank needs Monetary donations, food (drop off at Napa Auto Parts in Kailua), and your help to sort/pack donations.

The Phase II of Rotary Cares About Mental Health at the Windward Community Mental Health Center is tentatively set for May 9th, depending on the State's COVID-19 direction. Due to social distancing, this project will be RSVP-only and has limited space for volunteers. Please reach out to me directly to RSVP with any guests you'd like to bring. More on this at our Zoom meeting on 4/21!

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk with! If you have any photos of your activities during social distancing, feel free to e-mail them to be featured on our social media :)

In health and wellness,

Brenna Dicks
