Rotary of Volcano is a small rural club on the island of Hawai`i.  With the purchase of our Rotary-Rotary chicken machine about 6 years ago we have been able to raise funds not for only our club, but also for other non-profit organizations in our community. The funds our club netted have been used for student scholarships, international donations and operational costs. Other beneficiary organizations include Ka`u High School, Volcano School of Arts and Sciences, Volcano's community center, and the Volcano Art Center. An upcoming fundraiser is planned to support the local animal sanctuary.

 

Our intrepid machinist, Roger Schweitzer, keeps the  rotisserie on wheels alive and the rest of the club members keep the operation running smoothly.  Of course, the roasted chickens taste great and always sell out.   It's definitely an anticipated event for a small community far from many commercial conveniences.
