On Saturday, April 11, one of Hilo’s most celebrated community events takes place. This is a wonderful opportunity for Rotary members across the district to come together, celebrate the spirit and culture of our island, and showcase Rotary’s commitment to service. Members are invited to walk in the parade carrying their club banners or ride on a decorated flatbed truck generously provided by Past President Jeremiah Leonard. Participants will gather at 8:30 a.m. to decorate the truck with foliage, and the parade will begin at 10:30 a.m.
With thousands of residents and visitors lining the streets, the parade offers a fantastic opportunity to increase Rotary’s visibility, connect with the community, and demonstrate that we are truly People of Action. It is also a time for fellowship, community pride, and celebrating together.
Members are encouraged to wear their club or district shirts and join fellow Rotarians in representing Rotary with pride.
For more information or to participate, contact Beverly Heikes. Let’s come together and show our community the spirit of Rotary in action.
