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.

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.
​
On Rotary Gives Thanks Day, in 2024 we participated in our 6th annual Pacific Gateway Center Thanksgiving meal distribution for the hardworking farmers of Kunia Farms.
Our Club scholarship funds are raised annually through the club’s lively “Waipahu Got Talent” fundraiser, which not only supports educational opportunities but also brings together the Waipahu community in celebration of its young people. ​
Stay tuned for our next scheduled event.​
