Aloha Rotarians! 

July was an amazing month.  A great time was had by all at the installation of our District Leadership Team with horse rides, line dancing, horse drawn buggy rides and a Paniolo Cowboy BBQ (see our photos). But, best of all, July started with amazing club visits.  

I am truly impressed with our Hawaii D5000 members and what our clubs can do, when we "Unite for Good" for our community, our youth and the world.

I love the spirit that I see and feel when I visit the clubs and see the commitment that our Rotarians have in all that we undertake.  

We unite together to do good for our community and we stay together for the 'Club Experience' with our 'Rotary Ohana' throughout the islands and with our 'Sister Clubs' around the world. My life is better because of my years as a Rotarian and many have thanked me for inviting them to join the best service club in the world.  Let's all look to have more of our family and friends join us to help improve our local and international communities.     

I'd like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you, our dedicated members. Thank you for doing good in the world.                                                                          -District Governor Nancy Cabral
