Looking for a way to help Keiki heading back to school? 🍎 Stop by our tent at Long’s Kailua next Sunday, 8/9 to help us gather donations for four local elementary schools! 📓✏️ All items and financial donations are greatly appreciated. 📚Volunteers to work the donation booth still needed. Mahalo & see you then!
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!
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!
Aloha Rotarians and Friends,
I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this time of difficulty and transition to home-based activities. The federal government and Governor Ige has asked us to participate in home-based activities until April 30th (excluding necessary travel to refresh food and supplies, and medical care). This will not be forever! We will come back together as a group soon in May, with a renewed heart of gratitude to help others in our community. I have also been provided an excellent facts-based presentation regarding COVID-19 passed on by a military professional. It has very good graphs to help visualize information.
We have some exciting club updates to share this morning!
Our club has submitted two emergency grant requests to provide relief to our community through two projects, partnering with Rotarian Kathleen Merriam. These are requests and have not been approved yet (they were submitted this past weekend), but I wanted to share this information with all of you to show that even during this difficult time and social distancing, Rotarians can still make a difference by helping others in our Windward community.
In good news, take a look at this card we received for our support of the Kahauiki Village! Thank you, Windward Sunrise Rotarians for your financial gifts to this powerful initiative to help families experiencing houselessness on Oahu.Thank you for all you do and please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have further questions or concerns.
In service,
Brenna Dicks
Windward Sunrise Rotary Club President
