No matter how long we’ve been with Rotary, we all benefit from the energy and fresh perspectives of our young leaders. It is my privilege to place this month’s presidential message in the capable hands of one young leader, Vitor Joventino. In his column, Vitor reminds us how teamwork and inclusivity can spark transformative change. As you read his message, I encourage you to reflect on its insights, share in his excitement, and embrace new opportunities to learn. — Stephanie Urchick

Since 1957, the Rotary Club of West Honolulu annually recognized a leader of Hawaiian ancestry who has made a difference in Hawaii; someone whose accomplishments have epitomized the idea of high achievement in such fields as art, music, dance, education, science, government, religion, business or sports. On November 15, 2024, we honored Henry Kapono as our 68th recipient of this prestigious award.  Henry is a performer who has it all – vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, composer, audience favorite—and multiple honors and awards, including a Grammy nomination.  

Rotary polio eradication project is our top priority. Rotary launched PolioPlus in 1985 and was a founding member of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. Unless we eradicate polio, within 10 years, as many as 200,000 new cases could occur around the world each year. In the past few years, only two countries have reported cases of polio caused by the wild virus, but no child anywhere is safe until we’ve vaccinated every child. Polio anywhere is a threat everywhere. Please help us reach our club goal of $1,500 and donate to our fundraise to help to immunize 400 million children each year until Polio is eradicated from planet Earth.  Until then, it is just a plane ride away from us.  Click to donate

                         

Rotary’s goal today is to create environments where peace can be built and maintained through sustainable and measurable activities in communities worldwide.
