The Rotary Club of Volcano and the Volcano Art Center are teaming up this month to start what we hope will become an annual Volcano tradition: a free holiday tree lighting event. Were planning to turn on the lights on a 25-foot tree outside the entrance to the Art Center on the evening of Friday, Nov. 29.  The lights will stay on every night through the Christmas season. There will be a something for every family member.  That includes Christmas caroling, , ornament making, the Art Centers annual wreath exhibit, and an opportunity to shop after hours” in the centers gallery.  In addition, Rotary will be selling $1 hot dogs and assorted Christmas cookies
District governor joins our highway road gang
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.

 
 
We love the Fourth of July parade.

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.

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.
