At last month’s International Assembly, President-elect Olayinka “Yinka” Hakeem Babalola called on members of the Rotary world to live out our presidential message for the 2026-27 Rotary year: Create Lasting Impact. This February, as we observe Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Month, we have an opportunity to channel Yinka’s call to action into real change.
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to the sister club Hong Kong Island West fire relief fund. Your support are deeply appreciated.
Unfortunately the official donation deadline has passed. Your kindness and commitment to helping others is what truly makes a difference, therefore President Cleigh and myself decided to refund such donation to the individual. Please check with Chrysti, the club treasurer.
We are grateful to have such compassionate individuals like you in our Rotary family.
With gratitude and Rotary fellowship,
Elvira Lo

Message from The Pantry:
Aloha Rotary Club Team,
Mahalo nui loa for supporting our Monday, November 24th distribution! We are truly grateful for the time, energy, and aloha your members brought to The Pantry. Your teamwork helped make the day run smoothly, and your presence made such a meaningful impact.
Thanks to your help, we were able to serve:
• 98 households
• 367 individuals
We would absolutely love to have your group back in the future. If you're ever interested in organizing another volunteer day — whether monthly, quarterly, or simply whenever it works for your club — I’m more than happy to create a custom landing page just for your event. This makes it easy for everyone to register in one place and helps us keep your group together on the schedule.
I also want to mahalo you again for your patience yesterday and for all the support your team brought. We appreciate you more than you know and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Mahalo Nui!
