We are planning a project to paint the Kukui'olono Park Pavilion and to assist them in other ways.

 

 

 

Join us for an evening of fun on March 14th at 5:30pm at Kilohana Luau Pavilion in Lihue.

Proceeds from this annual fundraiser go directly to our Kauai Community College scholarships, community service projects, and grants to Kauai non-profits.

 

Enjoy delicious bites from ten top restaurants, taste unique wines, relax to the music of the John Rivera Collective, view the work of local artists, and bid often in the silent auction!

 

More info and tickets are available at onefineevening.org

Ho! Ho! Ho! About 100 children from Child & Family Services, in conjunction with Nana's House, were treated to breakfast, a movie, and gifts from Santa at Waimea Theater. This annual event is sponsored by our club.  The Interact Club helped in advance to wrap Santa's gifts.

Each year we sponsor and participate in the Kauai Prevent Suicide Walk to raise awareness about this important problem on our island and spread the word about resources availalble.

Thanks to our sponsors:

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be... a king.

How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World (2019)

When Hiccup discovers Toothless isn't the only Night Fury, he must seek "The Hidden World", a secret Dragon Utopia before a hired tyrant named Grimmel finds it first.

The concession stand will be staffed by Koloa Elementary School teachers and parents to raise funds for school activities.

This event also supports the Koloa Elementary School PTSA as they offer a food concession at the movie. This has enabled them to fund many extracurricular programs that improve the quality of campus life for all of their students by funding after school activities and supplemental education programs that do not make it into the school budgets.

 

A significant portion of our fundraising goes toward scholarships on Kauai. The club recently awarded scholarships to these three outstanding culinary students at Kauai Community College. We look forward to eating their delicious food in local restaurants in the future!

 

We provide scholarships for Kauai Community College students in skilled trades programs.

 

Each year the club awards Frances Dillon Memorial Nursing scholarships to selected students at Kauai Community College. 

 

 

 

A neighborhood in Koloa was hit with flash floods. At that time Rotary Club of Poipu Beach and many other community groups helped families to clean out damaged house materials and goods.

Also, during the past year Rotary Club of Poipu Beach partnered with RumFire Poipu Beach - Kauai Table 53, Hardware Hawaii, and other individuals to raise funds to aid families with recovery and rebuilding.

We partnered with Hawaii Red Cross to distribute Hardware Hawaii gift cards to families that had cases of major impact.

 

The Rotary Club of Poipu Beach normally awards up to $15,000 in community grants to nonprofit organizations on Kauai. The funds come from part of the proceeds of our One Fine Evening fundraiser that is usually held in March.

The grant awards are used for items such as uniforms, food for the needy, transportation, safety gear, cultural education, sporting equipment and literacy supplies. Each grantee organization must be sponsored by a Rotarian and then is invited to apply for the grant awards.

Nancy Kanna, Rotary Club of Poipu Beach past president and community grants chair, said since the Community Grant Program was established in 2001, the club has awarded over $275,000 to over 50 organizations.

“By partnering and funding specific items for other nonprofits, we are able to work together to have an even greater impact in the Kauai community,” Kanna said.

 

As Rotarians we believe part of our service is to the broader international community. As part of our international service Rotary Club of Poipu Beach helped to build a pre-school in Pursat Province, Cambodia. We provide ongoing support for the teacher, school supplies, and a meal program. Pictured above is International Service Director Dr. Craig Nishimoto visiting the school along with his wife, Annette.
