Let's continue to serve with humility and gratitude, striving for even greater things for RCMS
 
Saving the best for last, I would like to recognize two individuals as my selection of these special awards:
 
  • The Spirit of Rotary Award goes to Dean Ueda is generally made to a newer member who has been extremely active in providing exemplary club service.
  • The Quiet Rotarian Award goes to Yolette Nishimoto recognizes a Rotarian whose diligent work epitomizes service to others without fanfare or desire for credit.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

2026-2027
 
Aloha!
Fellow Rotarians,
 
In our 30 years of existence, this is only the second time in our history that we have quarterly presidents running the club.  It's not the ideal scenario, but Paul, now myself, then James, and lastly Kathy have committed to doing the best we can to have a successful year.  We realize it will be necessary for us to work closely together  throughout the year to have continuity and good results.  
 
This year the District is requesting that each club establishes an Action Plan by November which encompasses priorities and goals.  In a recent zoom conference call with District Governor Benson Medina, he stated, "Successful clubs have clear action plans that are actively used and overseen by the board.  Clubs with action plans are more productive, more engaged, and form more community partnerships".
 
For starters, your Board has agreed that the following bullet points will be on RCMS's priority list:
 
1)  Improve member participation and engagement in meetings / activities / projects
 
2)  Mentorship assignments and commitment
 
3)  Succession plan 
 
4)  Membership growth
 
5)  Fundraising
 
Our action plan will more than likely be a "work in progress" for more than a year; however, once our goals are met it'll hopefully be beneficial and move our club forward for the next several years.
So, let's work together and make this happen.
 
Mahalo
 
Mel
