Every year, the Rotary District 5000 governor, who oversees the goings-on in all 52 clubs in Hawaiʻi, comes to visit our club in Volcano and update us on what’s happening with Rotary around the state and the world. This year, since his planned Big Island visit coincided with our regular monthly highway trash pickup, we decided to put him to work. And he was eager to help. That’s a pretty good example of Rotary’s motto: Service Above Self.  After all the trash was gathered, Faigle joined the whole group for coffee and pastries and told us about Rotary efforts to increase current membership across the state, as well as new initiatives being planned to raise the profile and impact of Rotary everywhere. The key, he said, is getting — and keeping — people involved: “When they see what we’re doing, they often want to know how they can help, too,” he said. We hope that’s the case here in Volcano. Next time you see us along the highway, at the Cooper Center food distribution, or at any of our other projects in the area, take a moment to ask us how you can help too.  It will be good for you and the community, too.
