Change of Gavel
This is the time of year for O-Bon dances and Change of Gavel ceremonies- the beginning of the new Rotary year.
Last night, Ukuleleboi and I were part of the crowd at Joe's on the Green in the Kiahuna Golf Clubhouse. Outgoing President of the Rotary Club of Poipu Beach Nancy Kanna wound up a great year and turned her gavel over to my "classmate" Roberta Charles.
After time to socialize, the meeting started with introductions of guests. And then, of course, there is wonderful food!
The buffet included lots of veggies and scalloped potatoes (long time, no taste!), mahimahi with a delicious fruit salsa and a fantastic chicken breast stuffed with porcini mushrooms.!
Ukuleleboi and I sat with my classmates (PE - short for President-Elect) Vianne and Jeff. I will miss their installations because of scheduling conflicts so it was great to be able to share Roberta's together! Here is Roberta with Jeff
Myself and Ukuleleboi. Great folks Bruce, Nancy and Sinclair
Assistant District Governor Laurie Yoshida swore in the new Board and "new" Past President Nancy was honored with a gift of appreciation as the Rotary International Year theme "Rotary Shares" was retired and "Make Dreams Real" was introduced.
What does it mean to be President of a Rotary Club?
Ask me this time next year!
From what I have seen and heard- it will be a year of sacrifice and rewards - a year of encouraging others to think and act as agents of positive change to benefit the many who struggle for even the simple necessities of life.
Most of all, it is to work for universal peace by living "ke ala pono", practicing the Four-Way Test:

Of the things we think, say or do
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
