A pair of volunteers will count the number of people who (a) wear the mask correctly, (b) wear the mask in correctly and (c) don't wear the mask at a designated location (Prince Kuhio Plaza, Keaukaha Beach Park (Start at parking lot), Liliuokalani Park or Airport post office) from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays until November 28.

Veteran's Project -- Virginia Juettner

District Silent Auction  -- Mary Begier

There will be a District silent action from October 16-26.  Mary is requesting that we find items to put into the silent auction to support fundraising for our club.  All of our donation proceeds will come back to the club.  Lorraine will send out form to RCHB members to fill out and support the club.  RCHB has volunteered to serve as the bank to comply with the liquor commission.  When the link opens, we are asked to disperse to everyone we know.

Yu Yok P. was $50 happy.  Her program at Imiloa just wound down from the first session and they are gearing up for the 2nd session.  The first session was a big success and she is amazed at the kids and the teachers.  She recognized Geoli for her company's contribution of water during their second session.

Sharon S. is $5 happy because Mika is loving the Imiloa program.  She is another $5 happy because in lieu of a cruise, she "travelled" to various locations of the world to get her refrigerator fixed.  After 6 weeks, her refrigerator is fixed.

Mary B. is $30 happy.  $20 for the two amazing Hawaii Island women who won the Nobel Peace Prize and $10 for another refrigerator story.

Virginia and Bob J. are $10 happy that they can join our Rotary meeting every week and contributed to their well-being and sanity.

Tim is $2.25 happy because Bob J. agreed to map out the locations of the Peace Poles around the Big Island with the idea that there will be a brochure allowing folks to have a Peace Pole Pilgrammage.

Ken B. is $20 happy.  $13 for 13 years of happy marriage and $7 for the return of his wife and daughter from Japan.

Tom W. is $10 happy.  $5 to compliment Yu Yok on her new hairdo and $5 for catching his first trout.  Tom is in Montana.

Doug A. is $50 happy.  10 years ago today, he began his cycling journey across the US.  He acknowledged Richard C. for his contributions to HRYF, our work on the Veteran's project, Mary B. for her contribution to the District auction, Tim H. for his work with RYLA and Yu Yok for her Imiloa programs.

Thank you all for your generous contributions!
