President's Message

Dear Rotary Club of Ala Moana and Friends!

I hope this message finds you well and excited for the upcoming Rotary events! Here are some important updates for our club:

We are dark this Thursday. There is no meeting July 27, 2023.
In lieu of a club meeting, we have a couple of activities such as two service projects: SmartStart Program and a Clothing Drive benefiting the students of our adopted elementary school, Lunalilo Elementary School (see details below). We also have our first social event of the new Rotary year. If you RSVP'd, we look forward to seeing you Thursday, 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.
Our next club meeting is next Thursday, August 3, at the Pacific Club - Thank you to those who have RSVP'd. If you have not yet replied, you still have today to do so! Check out the guest speaker and topic! We will have a plated lunch so it's important to have an accurate headcount to ensure that you will have a seat and plate.

We are still collecting RSVPs for our club meeting the following Thursday, August 10. You have until August 2 to do so. Click on the appropriate blue box below.
Members: Please pay your semi-annual dues and voluntary contributions by the end of the month, July 31. If you need another copy of the Semi-Annual Dues and Voluntary Contribution Statements, please let us know.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication to service and fellowship. Your contributions and participation make our Rotary Club of Ala Moana strong and impactful. Let's continue to make a positive difference in our community and beyond.

Yours in Rotary service,

David Arita
