President’s Message

Happy New Year! Here we are in a new calendar year and half way through the Rotary Year.
January is Vocational Service Month. As Rotarians we promote excellence and integrity in our chosen professions. Also, we share our professional talents with our community both here at home and throughout the world.
On Saturday morning, I had the pleasure of meeting with 14 fellow members of our club to develop a strategic plan. Laura Steelquist, a past District Governor was our facilitator. After much meaningful discussion, it was decided to focus on 2 of our top priorities for immediate ac on.
  1. To explore alternate membership types and alternate meeting structures. Dave, Carol and Chris immediately volunteered to be the committee of ac on. They have set their first meeting and selected Dave as their chairman. Many thanks. 

  2. Develop a strong Public Relations Committee. Donna volunteered to Chair this committee. Before our session ended she had Karen Wilson and Joe as members of the committee and they have set their first meeting as well. Great job! 

If you would like to be part of the action, please speak to Dave or Donna. Your opinion counts.
Many thanks to all of you who participated. A number of other priorities were established but the group decided that is was prudent to focus on just two at this me.
In the coming weeks the members will get a full report of the session.
As President, I will be making a greater e ort to keep members informed of what is happening in the club.
I wish all a happy, healthy 2017 filled with joy and peace. And for our club I hope for a year of fun, fellowship and continued good works.
Don't forget that this year the Rotary Club of Kona Mauka will be celebrating 50 years of doing good. Let's shout it out!!!
