Rotary members came together to cook, serve and join the wonderful women and children at the shelter for a joyous Valentine's Dinner! There were gifts, kids meals, and the moms' had salmon, prime rib, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, and dessert!
With the help of about 20 volunteers, we cleaned, painted, scrubbed the kitchen, laundry room, and patio at the shelter in Kaneohe! A member donated a new Air Conditioner and the kitchen was clean and cool to cook in again!! Mahalo for all those who came out and provided their expertise!
On March 28th the Rotary Club of Kaneohe, Windward Oahu, and Windward Oahu Sunrise supported the Kailua Service Care Event. This event provides services for houseless individuals. Volunteers provide assistance with housing applications, employment support, veteran services, health care and insurance applications, legal aid, and assistance with IDs and vital documents. Additionally, those that attend are offered a meal, hygiene items, a shower, hair cuts, clothing, and free medical exams. Thank you to the efforts of all the Rotarians and community members that support this meaningful and important event for our windward community.
One of our club's outstanding members, Julie Strivens, organized a service event with RYSE (Residential Youth Services & Empowerment). RYSE is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operating a youth access center and shelter services in Kailua, Oahu. From 8am to 8pm seven days a week, youth ages 14–24 can use their drop-in services free of charge. Their goal is to provide safety and help youth get off the streets, so that they can live and thrive as healthy, happy young adults. Our club collected hygiene products that were donated to a group of ~25 youth. Julie made Valentines with a card signed by our club members to accompany the donations. |
On December 7th, the Rotary Club of Windward Oahu Sunrise assisted 'ohanas in the windward community to board trolleys for the lighting of the tree at Castle Hospital.
On January 10th, our club gathered to celebrate the latest recognition of our Paul Harris Fellows. Paul Vierling, Sarah Herrmann, and David Herrmann were recognized for their generous contributions to the Rotary Foundation.
