Paul Harris: Rotary's Founder
In 1905 Paul founded Rotary in Chicago for fellowship and mutual helpfulness. At that time, membership was limited to one man from each business or profession, as is still the practice today. The name “Rotary” was chosen for the club’s practice of holding each meeting rotating at different member’s locations of business.
We got the opportunity to work together with Waipahu Safe Haven and support the women of Marshall Islands, providing grant funds towards a training to enhance their crafting skills in hope for them to start a business.
This project can help them earn a living in the future and become financially independent in a way that is culturally sensitive.
On Rotary Works Day 2024, we spent the day cleaning up the large pond at Hawaii Plantation Village. The water plants that grow in the ponds are invasive and need constant removal. Big MAHALO to all volunteers who came out to help us!
Rotary District 5000 International Service Team helps design global grants and develop International Service Projects with Rotary clubs in Hawaii. Read more about West Pearl Harbor's international involvement.
Every December, we make sure to spread holiday cheer at Waipahu Hall Elderly with songs, games, prizes, food and FUN!
During each club meeting, we have organizations from the community present on topics which also reflects the 7 areas of focus in Rotary: Disease Prevention and Treatment, Peace and Conflict Resolution, Clean Water and Sanitation, Maternal and Child Health, Basic Education and Literacy, Economic and Community Development, and Supporting the Environment.
We are always looking for guest speakers with new and interesting subjects. If you are interested in presenting during one of our club meetings, please email us!
