Welcome to our Rotary Club Website! 

Aloha.  Rotary Club of Hilo Bay is launching its new website, using ClubRunner—a web platform that is integrated with Rotary International.

As we explore ClubRunner, we are finding many advantages to it, some that we will institute immediately, and some that will or could be added later.

One of the nice things is that we can easily decide what is public—open for all to see—and what we want protected for only our members to view.  It's click-of-the-button easy. Eventually our newsletter can become an eBulletin as well, connected to the website, again, with some parts public and others for members only.

ClubRunner is "a complete online package comprised of several modules, all designed to maintain members' data, facilitate interactive communication, organize events and volunteers, distribute email newsletters and broadcast communications, improve public relations, and help run a club more efficiently."

Some information is in a password protected member area, it allows every member to access key information while it remains secured from the outside world. 

ClubRunner is also able to automate administrative functions such as attendance tracking and billing. This is one of the areas we will explore later.

Each of you will be able to make changes to your Club information and those changes to the database are automatically communicated to Rotary International, therefore also saving the Club Secretary from performing double data entry.

We will also be able to do online registrations for events and volunteer activities, automatic email services, and an integrated e-Bulletin, among other features, makes it easy to promote club's activities.

Hastings & Pleadwell's Ryan Ishibashi (who works in the Honolulu office but is a Hilo native) is lending technical help as we navigate ClubRunner.
