Rotary Foundation 
 
Hello West Honolulu Rotarians!
 
A Big Mahalo to everyone that supported Rotary Foundation Month in November - there are too many to name, so I've listed your names in the graphs below. I'm happy to report that we are at 56% and 51% of reaching our club goal for The Rotary Foundation and Polio Plus, respectively.
 
For those that are quite new to Rotary, the Rotary Year runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. Hence, there is still time to make a contribution. As a reminder, any contributions to the 3 great causes below, are fully tax deductible.
 
  • The Rotary Foundation (Mail your payment with the attached form or donate online at rotary.org)
  • Polio Plus (Mail your payment with the attached form or donate online at rotary.org)
  • The West Honolulu Rotary Club Foundation (Mail your check to Treasurer Kevin Sakamoto, 220 S. King St., Suite 2200, Honolulu, HI 96813)
 
Thank you for supporting President Glen Suzuki and WHR club. Feel free to contact me at (808) 778-4666 with any questions. Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
Mike Kato
