What an inspiration to see so many Rotarians come together for a conversation with Rotary Foundation Vice-Chair Brenda Cressey at events across the islands. Thank you. Thank you Rotary Foundation Chair PDG Laura Steelquist and all who worked so hard to make Brenda's visit remarkable…
February is Peace and Conflict Resolution Month in the world of Rotary.
Dignity: Dignity is, perhaps, the most fundamental part of a culture of peace. Treating others, individually and collectively, with respect, understanding and compassion are key to the prospects for positive peace. So, I would like to take a moment and acknowledge a point in time in our own history and culture to suggest to you that, in 1989, the formal changing of Rotary International's policy on admitting women into Rotary is pivotal in dignity too long denied.

The three clubs — the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunrise, the Rotary Club of Lahaina and the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset — have 22 tubes that they plan to install in late February, said Mariko Higashi, who was the president of the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset last year and has been spearheading the project. Higashi said the tubes cost about $3,000 in total and were paid for by the clubs as well as the Hawaii district office that oversees all Rotary clubs.
