And the beat goes on, because Rotarians have the heartbeat for service, as you can see from the list of projects at the end of this newsletter. Good news, the District’s $25,000 Rotary Disaster Grant was approved and we have funds going out to help with COVID-projects in our communities that were identified by our clubs across the State.
More good news! Did you hear the awesome news that Nigeria and the African region were declared polio-free, after 3 years of no cases? Woohoo! This is a milestone in Rotary’s decade long effort to eradicate polio. We are getting closer to getting rid of polio from Planet Earth, but we still need your donations to PolioPlus to vaccine 400 million children each year to get to zero. Save the date for World Polio Day on October 24th and join in fun activities and speakers from 10-11:30 am on Zoom. Buy a district shirt and $5 will go to PolioPlus via our D5000.
Have you been Zooming?! You can easily join other club meetings on Zoom to hear awesome speakers and attend virtual activities. Want to up your Rotary I.Q.? We have Zoom sessions on a variety of subjects like Rotary Basics, Social Media, Foundation and more. Benson, the District Trainer, started a “Welcome to Rotary” coffee hour on the first Saturday of each month to talk story about Rotary for non-member and others interested in hearing about what Rotary is all about. Join us and invite others to share in upping our Rotary I.Q! Go to the rotaryd5000.org for list of webinars on the bottom of the home page and click on the calendar listing for the Zoom code.
A new webinar series by our District Vocational Service team is being planned. The first will be a Rotary Doing Business Marketplace. On Tuesday, October 6th at 7pm, Rotarians will have 2 or 3 minutes to talk about their business. Stay tuned for more information from Co-Chairs Bob Peterson and Robert Jackson!
I hope you and your families are well, but if you need any help, please let me know. Please stay safe and well. Thank you for all you do for Rotary!

September is Basic Education and Literacy Month
As one of Rotary Areas of Focus, we know that basic education and literacy is essential for reducing poverty. Did you know that Read To Me International is a result of a partnership created by the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise and the Governor’s Council for Literacy and Lifelong Learning? They have developed successful programs adopted in over a dozen states, plus Canada and Malaysia. Since Read To Me International’s inception, the organization has evolved to focus on equipping and coaching parents to be their children’s first teachers in life through reading aloud together. The organization’s programs include parent-coaching programs, annual national-quality conference, workshops, community events, programs in correctional facilities and in many communities. RTM is headed by former first lady, Lynne Waihee and actively supported by the RC of Honolulu Sunrise.
Congratulations to the following HEROES for their dedication and service to the community. Each will receive 100 Paul Harris points. Thank you to the nominators for recognizing these HEROES!
Harlan Hughes, Rotary Club of Upcountry Maui, nominated by Wendy Hornack. Harlan collects Makai’I certificates throughout the year so that he can then get turkeys for the Maui Food Bank. For his birthday this year, he asked for donations for the Maui Food Bank. He has always given and shown the service above self mentality and had helped our club to achieve great results. He is one of our biggest promotors for our Gold Tournament that has a portion of the proceeds support our Women Helping Women Maintenance Fund. When Harlan first transferred to our club, he was recovering from throat cancer. He was always at the meetings nonetheless and again, always at all food drive projects. He has made a huge difference in our community and club.
Natasha Clarin, Rotary Club of Kapolei, nominated by Arlene Estrella. Natasha is the one person that each club president has absolutely counted upon to convert ideas into great projects She worked to craft a partnership between our club and Ko Olina Charities, She is the person responsible for many projects including: our annual Thanksgiving meal; wardrobe donations of the U.S. Vets home at Kalaeloa; and “Games with a Purpose” event as another key source of scholarships. Her versatility is apparent, as she has been a key leader in RYLA, support for our Interact Clubs, and for the highly successful club initiative to support the Women’s Shelter run through Child and Family Services. When you get Natasha, you get a team, with her family, others from the community and a dedicated group of RCK members. She has a business card which says that she is a “professional volunteer” and that is apt. For Natasha, volunteerism is about hard work, smart ideas and good team leadership to make the world a better place.
Charlene Iboshi, Rotary Club of South Hilo, nominated by Maurice Goulding. Charlene is so involved with our community and is constantly networking and connecting people. For this reason alone, she is invaluable. She constantly identifies needs and connects those who can help. She is a great motivator and facilitator. She also documents almost every event, which is so important to our records and to our club news updates. As the anchor to the Peace Committee, she is vital to all the peace projects on this side of the island. She is a powerful leader behind the scenes. As Benson says, every club needs a Charlene Iboshi. When the pandemic hit, Charlene was on top of making sure masks were made. She got Randy Kuhara to donate old textiles to be used to make thousands of masks that were distributed to the community. She is a board member for Hope Services, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, Community First Hawaii, and South Hilo Rotary. She champions the causes of those who are in need. What a power house she is!
AG Ted Faigle, Rotary Club of Poipu Beach, nominated by Kelly McDonald . The onset of COVID dealt a body blow to his club’s fund raiser, forcing its cancellation. That for many would be crippling. Ted's extremely active social media activities publicizing everything from food pantry announcements to rent and business relief packages are a life line for Kauai resources to assist those suffering the effects of the downturn in the economy related to COVID. He is very active delivery food in his pickup for area Kapuna and actively speaking to clubs about the social media use and his curatorial work through Kauai Caremongering is a lifeline for those wishing to serve and help support those in need in Kauai as well as for those needing help to know what is available to assist them. He is a great champion of Rotary, donor to the foundation and humble servant. His participation in training sessions as well as the responsibilities he shouldered as AG amount to a very generous portfolio of time, talent and treasure to this organization.
Ben Gillikin and Mark Wolfendale, Rotary Club of Hanalei, nominated by David Dinner. These two worked together to create an important contribution to helping feed the kupuna here on the North Shore of Kaua’i. They teamed up to work with Yoshi and the Kilauea Ag Center to arrange for the food delivery, people power, location and distribution of up to 200 boxes of produce/week for several months. They overcame multiple obstacles including coordination of people traffic jams at the distribution site and inclement weather to pull it off flawlessly.
Dept of Health Face Mask Observation effort: DOH needs volunteers on Maui and the Hawaii Island to survey people wearing masks, a minimum of a few hours each day, for two days each week at a location specified by DOH. This survey is to track the extent to which the public is adopting face mask-wearing behavior in public places. DOH appreciates heeding the call to action and service to our state. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Dr. Gary Glauberman, glauberm@hawaii.edu, (808) 277-3542. Include in your email your name, phone number, and affiliation (Rotary). A training session will be provided prior to engaging in observations
The State is looking for volunteers on Oahu to go to the Convention Center to do "first calls" to people after their COVID diagnosis. Different than contact tracing, you'll just be inputting their information and answering questions rather than doing investigations. This will free up the investigator's time so that they can better track down clusters and such. Please feel free to send it to your network. DOH is hoping to find another 30 volunteers, with the next training being later this week. Email if interested: covidhawaiivolunteer@gmail.com.
Centennial Park Waikīkī Workdays will be scheduled to plant about 150 shrubs in 3-gallon containers and planting about 1500 pothos ground-cover plants. There are 40 four-hour slots each day, working in four separate sections of the park. Check with organizers for updates. Sign up or donate funds at: https://centennialparkwaikiki.org/
GRAMMI call program is up and running. Receive or place calls from your location with an app that uses GRAMMI’s phone numbers, instead of your own. If you have an hour or more each week to spare to volunteer to call Kupuna for provide human voice contact, please sign up at https://grammi.io/ (they are still working on the grocery program.) If you know of Kupuna that would like receive these friendship calls, let them know they can sign up at https://grammi.io/ or call 1-(800)-605-0042 to speak to with a GRAMMI Companion. This program was created by Leo Koloamatangi, a star New York Jets offensive lineman and former Football Captain at the University of Hawaii.
Rotary Doing Business with Aloha Directory: If you would like to listed your company, send this information: Name, Title, company address, email address, phone number, website and a 1-3 minute MP4 video to janet@manameans.com by September 22. The directory now has videos from our Rotarians and we have over 150 businesses listed. Go to: https://www.rotaryd5000.org/stories/business-listings.

Environment Added as Rotary’s Seventh Area of Focus. Those interested in the environment and climate change can join the conversation on the third Wednesday of each month. We hope to plant 10,000 trees for Rotary Gives Thanks Day in November on the major islands. Ask your club’s Community Service Chair for more information.
International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians has renewed their Hawaii fleet in 2020. They partnered with the Ocean Voyages Institute on August 5th, 2020 to greet the S/V KWAI Ship and to sort and recycle nets and plastics from the Pacific Garbage Patch. The Hawaii Fleet worked with the crew on the KWAI, the ship that set sail for 35 days at sea and collected 67 tons of debris which added to the record-setting 103 tons removed in June. They set the largest open ocean clean-up in history! Many of the articles collected will be repurposed and recycled – keeping it out of the ocean and providing new, sustainable materials. Most of the debris will be sent to H-POWER (Covanta Honolulu Resource Recovery Venture) to be processed and burned in furnaces to produce steam that drives a turbine generator, which produces electricity. Some of the debris will be repurposed into jewelry, purses, and dog leashes through jewelers in Hamburg, Germany and Oahu, Hawaii. The rest of the debris will be sent to Dr. Barry Rock, a satellite scientist, in Durham, New Hampshire for a spectral analysis and further experiments and to a microfiber company in Czech Republic to be tested and repurposed into sustainable materials. The project was the perfect collaboration with a San Francisco organization while working under the lens of Rotary’s newest area of focus – Supporting the Environment. Thank you to Mary Crowley, Founder and Executive Director of the Ocean Voyages Institute, and the entire K/V KWAI crew for this service project opportunity and allowing Rotarians to take part in their efforts.

Kelly M. McDonald, Ph.D., President RC of Diamond Head. I first blue badged in Rotary in Auburn, Washington in 2011 after being invited to a club lunch meeting by the district superintendent of my hometown school. I was a college professor at the time and now work in healthcare management. While my vocation has changed, my interest in Rotary has grown since I joined in 2017 when I moved to Hawaii. I served first as a board member at large, then as PE and now as President enjoying my hana ho year. I have met the most amazing people through Rotary here in Hawaii. Traveling on my first international service project to Bali in October of 2019 with 25 other D5000 Rotarians from Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii islands was the most amazing experience. While I have donated to The Rotary Foundation since joining, the trip awakened in me a concrete realization of the truly global impact of Rotary and how our shared giving becomes a force multiplier for good in our communities and around the world. I have made friends forever in Hawaii, Bali and Luxemburg as a result of the trip. It changed me and I am grateful for the incredible experience.

I have two future Rotarians living with me now. My 4-year old daughter Sadie, and soon to be 2-year old Jackson. I’m extremely lucky to have such a great and understanding wife Makiko who is my best friend, and an amazing mother to our two children. I am a Project Developer with a local solar company here in Honolulu called RevoluSun. I’ve been with the company for going on 10 years and I strive to get along with everyone and thrive on being a trusted advisor on all things solar to colleagues in Real Estate, Finance, Home Building, and Architecture. I’m one that believes that “80 percent of success is showing up” -Woody Allen. I used to surf regularly before the kids became housemates. My goal is to get back on the water regularly and teach my kids how to surf.
