A MESSAGE FROM
PRESIDENT TOM COYNE
 
Aloha,
 
If haven’t already, please sign-up for the January 28th Club meeting.  President Elect Brian Dunkel will be introducing the Club to his appointed and our new Board of Director for Rotary Year 2026.  The Club will need to have at least 50% of our membership to achieve quorum and vote to confirm.
 
Also, I am looking forward to seeing those of you who have signed up to pour beer at Saturdays Beer Festival, which is one of our Clubs most events and helps pay for operational expenses.
 
Our Coke & Lawrence Operations Fund is up and running.  You will be receiving next week a donation Pledge Form.   CLICK HERE for the 2025 Update & Announcements Addendum Letter and the Coke & Lawrence Operations Fund Pledge form! 
 
Have a wonderful week and I will see you at the Beer Fest Jan. 25th!
 
Best regards,
Tom Coyne

YXC VIDEO CONTEST

The Youth Xchange Statewide Student Video Competition is a premier statewide event open to all students—elementary, middle/intermediate, high school, and college. This competition empowers youth to create, produce, and promote awareness of critical community issues through video content, bringing these important topics to the forefront.

Holomua: Innovating for a Better Future

This year’s theme Holomua: Innovating for a Better Future emphasizes the fusion of tradition and technology, inspiring Hawaiʻi’s youth to harness technical innovations to tackle community challenges and build a sustainable future. It empowers students to be voices for change while celebrating the powerful synergy between cultural wisdom and cutting-edge technology.
