Members of the Eco Rotary Club of Kakaʻako on Oahu visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park recently and joined in an on-going project led by Rotarians Paul & Jane Field to remove invasive ginger from the forest. Afterward, the group had a nice potluck get-together at Kilauea Military Camp. It was a great example of what people can do for the land when we work together.

This is why we do what we do

Ecologist to talk on ROD progress

Members of the Rotary Club of Volcano like to keep up on what’s happening in our community and around the island. That’s why we invite a steady stream of experts to come to our meetings and tell us about their work. In March, the club is excited to hear from Stacy Torigoe, staff ecologist at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

She will update us on the latest developments in the fight against Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death, which has been seriously impacting our ʻōhiʻa forests for a decade now. While ROD has been causing a lot of damage, Torigoe says that scientists also have made a lot of progress in learning how the disease is spread, what forests are most vulnerable and what forests are most resilient. She has some amazing pictures and charts to share too. As always, the public is invited to our meetings. This one will be held at 8 a.m. Thursday, March 16 at the Volcano Arts Center. So wake up early, grab a cup of coffee and join us for this informative presentation.

The Rotary Club of Volcano is partnering Sept. 24 with the community in Pahala i to place a new International Peace Pole near the entrance to the town. A Peace Pole is an internationally-recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. Each Peace Pole bears the message May Peace Prevail on Earth in different languages on each of its four or six sides. There are estimated over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world, including one outside the Volcano Art Center, Planting a Peace Pole is a way of bringing people together to inspire, awaken and uplift the human consciousness the world over and the Pahala dedication ceremony was attended by community members, elected officials and Rotary Club members from throughout East Hawaii. Take a look at it the next time you are in Pahala town.

Balikbayan Boxes arrive in Philippines

Several big boxes of medical supplies, childrenʻs clothing, books and toys collected by the Rotary Club of Volcano have reached their destination in the Philippines. The oversized Balikbayan Boxes arrived at a municipal medical clinic in the town of Salvacion in July, all in good condition. All the supplies in the boxes were donated by people in Volcano and nearby areas and packed by Rotary Club members, then shipped to the Philippines. “It feels like Christmas in July,” said one of the recipients. A big shout out and thank you to all the community members who helped the Rotary Club of Volcano make this possible.
