The rotary club of honolulu has 160 members comprising business, civic and community leaders both young and old. They meet weekly at noon on a Tuesday in the Monarch Room of the famed “Pink Palace” – the Royal Hawaiian Hotel located in Waikiki.
One of the current rotary projects is the creation of “Centennial Park”. A walk amongst the modern concrete tourist mecca reveals little in the way of culture or history and even less ‘green space’. To a small degree this will soon change. Thanks to the efforts of the Rotary Club of Honolulu and Rotarians throughout the state of Hawaii the only remaining undeveloped land in central Waikiki will soon be transformed from a barren debis-strewn gravel lot into an oasis of greenery , education, culture and history.
They describe the vision as follows:
-historic “roto-stone” markers
-Rotarian – planted gardens
-elevated “Paul Harris” performance lawn
-rolling “Grand Lawn”
-regal wrought iron/stone wall fencing
-natural stone seating
-meandering natural stone walkways
-expansive shade trees
International Toast Rotary Club of Honolulu
Kevin Curd made the International Toast to the Rotary Club of Honolulu. Over 100 years have passed since two Hawaiian business men aboard the luxury liner Lurline sailing from San Francisco to Honolulu had a conversation about a new community service organisation called Rotary. This led to the establishment of the first Rotary club in Hawaii on the 1st July 1915 . Today , this club still exists as the Rotary Club of Honolulu . Since then an additional 49 clubs have been chartered and thrive throughout the state of Hawaii.
