Club Social This Tuesday, November 10, 5 – 7 pm

Change of Venue

We originally planned to gather at RB’s, but they’ll be closed while repairs are being made to their decks. Fortunately, Cecilia came to the rescue! She worked her magic and reserved a wonderful, spacious area for us at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa.

The best part? We’ll be enjoying the same beautiful room, delicious food, and refreshing drinks that made last month’s gathering such a hit!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO CECILIA for saving the day and making sure we have another fantastic get-together!

How Fun Was Our Community Service Project and Lunch Last Friday

Our club enjoyed a delightful lunch at Kuffel Canyon Coffee—and don’t let the name fool you! This charming spot offers so much more than just great coffee. We were treated to a wonderful, freshly prepared lunch that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

We were also delighted to welcome Rim High School student Noah and her mother, Eve, who joined us for lunch. Noah is hoping to participate in the Rotary Youth Exchange program in Japan, with our club serving as her international sponsor.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed that everything falls into place, especially finding a host family in Japan. One of the biggest challenges for these young exchange students is finding families willing to open their homes and hearts to them. Those generous families make the incredible experience of living in another country possible.

We’re cheering Noah on and hoping her dream of experiencing Japan through Rotary Youth Exchange becomes a reality!

After our delicious lunch, we rolled up our sleeves and headed to the corner of Kuffel Canyon and Sycamore in Skyforest for a little community beautification! With gorgeous weather, great company, and plenty of helping hands, it was a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors while making our mountain community a little more beautiful.

There’s something special about working side by side with fellow Rotarians, sharing laughter, friendship, and the satisfaction of making a difference.

A big THANK YOU to Diane for organizing such a wonderful day, and to Leda for coordinating with the property owners and securing permission for us to plant on their land.

Another beautiful example of Rotarians putting Service Above Self into action!

Letter from Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay

Aloha President Jeri,

I’m writing from the Rotary Club of Hanalei Bay on Kauaʻi’s North Shore with a request from one Rotary family to another. On September 7, Hurricane Lowell did severe damage across Kauaʻi. Hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed, and much of the North Shore, where our club serves, was without power for weeks. Two months later, families are still rebuilding. We are raising $25,000 for Hurricane Lowell relief, and much of what we raise goes to that recovery.

The Rotary club is raising $25,000 to go to hurricane relief. If you scan the QR code below, you can enter to win a vacation in Hawaii, or simply scan it to donate to their cause. If the QR code doesn’t work, just type in URL:hanaleirotary.org/vacation-for-givin.
