WEST PEARL HARBOR ROTARY CLUB
Rotary, one of the world’s oldest and largest
service organizations.
Rotary Club of West Pearl Harbor was chartered on May 7, 1971 and is one of the 52 Rotary clubs in Hawai'i, serving the greater Waipahu community.
Solving some of the world’s most complex and pressing problems takes real commitment and vision. Rotary members believe that we share a responsibility to take action to improve our communities. Join us, so that we can make an even bigger impact – together.
Rotary International theme 2024-2025!
Rotary International President-elect Stephanie Urchick calls on members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives.
"We are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand. It's up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member."
October 2024: Community & Economic Development
The Rotary Foundation enables Rotarians to invest in people by creating sustainable, measurable, and long-term economic improvements in their communities and livelihoods by:
1. Building the capacity of entrepreneurs, community leaders, local organizations, and community networks to support economic development in impoverished communities;
2. Developing opportunities for productive work;
3. Reducing poverty in under-served communities;
4. Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to economic and community development.
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.
