Missed a meeting and need a make-up?  Log on to RCKW.org and watch at least two of the meeting videos, then write Secretary Stuart Karlan a note so your make-up will help the club's attendance record.  Other ways to earn make up credit is by:

  1. attending another Rotary club's meeting,
  2. attending a RCKW board meeting, attending an RCKW committee meeting,
  3. or attending an RCKW sponsored event.

When you make up a missed meeting, you are not only helping yourself, you are helping your club!

 

  

Invite someone to Rotary today!


What are some of the benefits of being an RCKW member?  

  • Satisfaction of helping others, broaden circle of friends,
  • Being affilitated with International humanitarian projects,
  • Becoming aware of the needs of your community,
  • Feeling great about really making a difference.


Got someone in mind who may be interested in membership?  Invite them to a meeting.  There is a simple contact form in the storage cabinet that you to fill out and give to the membership chair or secretary "How to Propose a New Member".


Each One!  Reach One!  Because membership in Rotary is by invitation only, it is important for every one of us to invite a friend to Rotary.  More members means more energy, fresh ideas, more hands for service projects, more fellowship!


   The Four Way test of things we think, say, and do

First- Is it the truth?

Second- Is it fair to all concerned?

Third- Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

Fourth- Will it be beneficial to all concerned? .... And

Fifth- Is it fun?

RCKW Mission Statement: In the spirit of the Rotary Four-Way Test, strive to improve the lives, health, and well being of citizens (with a special emphasis on children) in our community and that of underprivileged communities around the world.  Achieve meaningful results for our service projects in an atmosphere of fun, fellowship, and aloha.
