Kids 4 CPR "teaches children how to save a life and become a superhero," spreading awareness of the life-saving benefits of being an informed CPR and AED-trained citizen. Kids 4 CPR (formerly Hawaii Heart Foundation) is a 501(c)3 established in 2010 with the mission to improve the cardiac arrest survival rates. Their "Kids Teaching Kids" program was designed to teach lifesaving CPR and AED skills to keiki statewide. This program has empowered  keiki with the knowledge to save a life and helped save lives.

New Kaneohe Club Rotarian Aaron will share his role and mission with the Salvation Army, along with major programs they conduct within the Windward Community. 

Ging Ging is a representative of Hastings & Pleadwell, and will be sharing information out about HiRUC, the State Department of Transportation (HDOT) research into road usage charges. This project is an exploration of charging drivers by the mile, versus a tax by the gallon at the pump to better maintain Hawaii’s roads.

The HiRUC Project is in an education and feedback phase, and will inform and answer questions about the project. For more information on the project, here is a recent story that ran in the Civil Beat:  https://www.civilbeat.org/2019/04/heres-why-youll-want-to-pay-for-the-miles-you-drive-not-the-gas-you-use/
