the pledge to the flag. He thanked Stuart Karlan and Kim Dobson for compiling a picture collage of the club's activities.
INSPIRATION
Inspiration: Tom

Rotary meetings. The synergy that happens when meeting fellow
Rotarians, working on community projects, as well as world-wide
projects is great. But the best is just attending meetings.

Guests: Gloria Lukens
introduced many guests and returning Koholo Mai members such as Bill
Andrews, Michelle Scott, and Margaret Christensen. Several part time
members such as Marc Tolliver, & Bob Dunning were good to see.
Fran Meshulam, our honorary member attended. New guests included
Wayne Grenier of NH, Suzi Blackman, CA, and Dick Smith Scott.
NEW MEMBER INDUCTION
Joe
Mitchell inducted new member Linda Herberger, sponsored by Carol
Perry. All welcomed Linda with a handshake and hug.

MAGIC MARBLE
Larry
Shapiro, who had sold tickets at the front desk, presided over the

by Barry Hyman, went to Bill Andrew.
