Rotarians in the Community

On Saturday, August 24th, District 5000 Rotarians came together yet again to donate time and resources to Kahauiki Village, an affordable plantation-style community for homeless families located at the end of the freeway near Sand Island. A call went out to Rotarians from Past District Governor Nalani Finn and Rotarian Allen Kamemoto for help purchasing "outfitting kits" -- everyday toiletries, such as toilet paper, diswashing liquid, cleaning supplies, etc. -- for 30 new households at Kahauiki. The RC of Mililani Sunrise and Wahiawa-Waialua donated two kits. This short video, put togther by Past President Josh Laguana of the RC of Hickam-Pearl Harbor, shows the Rotarians making deliveries, including Lilette Subedi from the Rotary Club of Wahiawa-Waialua, and all, as always, having fun.

Member Profile - Geoff Horvath

Geoff Horvath has been a member of RCWW for 20 years. He recently retired after 23 years with the Navy where he did telecommunications. He joined Rotary at the suggestion of a friend, and wanted to give back to the community after feeling supported by the "folks back home" while he was in the Navy. Geoff has been very active in RCWW as past president, member of the Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation, is now president of the Rotary Foundation, and is our esteemed newsletter editor. A little known fact about him is that he gets up at 3:00am each morning (even in retirement!) to study the bible, and enjoys aerobic activities like gardening, hiking, tennis, swimming, and vacuuming/mopping.

Please visit our regular meetings at noon on Thursdays at Dot's in Wahiawa and meet Geoff in person!
