Dear members, Our sister Club, Kyoto West R. C. has formally put in an request to send 3 female youths, age 16, 17 (sisters) & 21 to our club, from 7/30 to 8/10 for 10 nights. This is the first time for the 3 girls to visit Hawaii. Our long time program supporter, P.P. Gayle Lau, will host them for 3 nights 8/8-8/10, P.P. Derek will host 3 nights 8/2 - 8/4, Thomas Jansson will host from 8/5-8/7, thank you to Gayle, Derek and Thomas for opening your homes to host the girls. We are looking for homes to host 7/30-8/2. Also we are asking your support to help either host the girls or take them out for day activities. Looked back into history, we formed sister club relationship with Kyoto West RC back in Oct 21, 1974, since then, many of our club members' next generation participated in the program, and they'd a memorable time. Wyatt & Cory gave the same feedback who visited Kyoto West RC last August, and 3 months ago, 15 of our members & spouses traveled to Kyoto to celebrate their 60th anniversary. Thomas and myself will plan the sign up sheet for activities. We really appreciate all the help from our Rotarians. Mahalo and Aloha, International Chair Terry Lo International Co-chair Thomas Jansson |
