ROTARY DISTRICT 5000, Hawaii Awards Submissions Form 2014-2015 VOCATIONAL SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Oversight of a RI Global Scholar Grant Global Grant 1423106 - Our club managed a Global Scholar Grant this year (led by the Rotary Clubs of that supported Hoyoon Jung from District 3650, who is a Peace Scholar at the University of Hawaii representing Korea. This is an outright grant from the PDGs endowment fund for $30,000. Hoyoon with his wife and child accompanying him is currently studying at UH Manoa with a goal of achieving a Graduate Certificate in Peace and Conflict Resolution. Our club invited Mr Jung as a guest speaker January 12, 2015 where he gave an informative overview of his studies and future vocational ambitions to our membership. Providing Library Books to Elementary Schools: - As a result of our visit to deliver dictionaries to one of the schools our club discovered an immediate need for library books for Noelani Elementary School and within 45 days delivered 56 new library books worth $600 to the school librarian and 30 students at a special presentation at their school library. - We continued our tradition of spending $600 per year for new library books for our adopted school, Jefferson Elementary. Each week our guest speaker signs a book dedicated to their school library and a formal presentation of the books is made to their school librarian. Highlighted Rotarian Members - During our October weekly meetings we had three of our Sunset Rotarians give Vocational Presentations to our membership. Promoted 4-Way Test - Every week at meeting the 4-Way Test is recited as the last order of business. Promoted Community Vocational Awareness - Our club this year took a special interest in promoting Community Vocational Awareness by bringing in quality guest speakers representing a cross section of our Hawaii Community. Key politicians, State of Hawaii and City and County of Honolulu program leaders, State and Federal homeless program directors, and local Oahu business owners presented weekly presentations at our club meetings. Once members realized we were open to diversity in vocational presentations recommendations of new guest speakers came from within our membership that filled our speakers schedule. The direct realized benefit was an increase of attendance to our meetings. Recognition of Educator of the Year - Our club selected Waikiki School Teacher Catherine Caine as the "Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset Educator of the Year". Catherine Caine is 2015 Hawaii State Teacher of the Year and one of four National Finalist for National Teacher of the Year. She has been teaching using Habits of Mind at Waikiki School for the last twenty-five years. Supported Vocational Networking - Our club president attended an outstanding Vocational Networking event in October 9, 2015 hosted by the Rotary E-Club of Hawaii, a club chartered by our club last year.

VOCATIONAL SERVICE NARRATIVE
Club Program Promoting the 4-Way Test—Club member Ken Zeri, President and Chief Professional Officer of Hospice Hawaii was our weekly meeting speaker on July 15th on the topic of “Advance Directives and the 4-Way Test.” His message illustrated how the 4-Way Test can be applied to our end-of-life wishes and theimportance of having an advance directive (aka living will) that will convey those wishes to our familymembers, neighbors, close friends, physician(s), ministers and anyone else who may be involved with us“when the time comes.”
Tours of Member Businesses—our “Paul Harris Day” (PHD) meetings have been conducted for several years and occur on a quarterly basis as an alternative to our weekly lunch meetings. The PHD Committee has been able to attract a minimum of 5 different venues for each event, including educational, business and non-profit entities. Participation by members has been consistently strong and most of venues “sell out,” as space is limited at most of them. An equally important and attractive aspect of these meetings (since we are a large Club) is a substantial “getting to know you” segment in addition to the business presentation.
Youth Mentoring Program—for several years our Club has supported the Susannah Wesley Community Center’s Community-Based (C-Based) Diploma Program by providing enrichment activities for the participants (high school dropouts pursuing their equivalency diplomas). This year, support includes: 8-12 career fair speakers (plus bento lunches for participants); Club member speakers for occupational knowledge and health classes on topics including making a good first impression, fitness, and drug and alcohol abuse; 20 ± “scholarships” for student participation in the Hawaii Foster Youth Coalitions Real World Seminar where students learn the realities of making their way in the Real World; 12 Rotarian mentors on budgeting and ways to live within ones means; refreshments for the graduation ceremony, plus a lei for each graduate and $100 cash prizes for the Perseverance Award and Outstanding Academic Achievement Award winners.
Conducted a Networking Activity—in lieu of our regular April 14th lunch meeting, our Club conducted its first “Rotary Means Business” Mini-Trade Show. Held in Elizabeth fuller Hall at the Laniakea YWCA, this opportunity was developed to give members who are unable to host Paul Harris Day meetings at their businesses or non-profits the opportunity to showcase what they do. Fourteen different member organizations manned tables around the room, engaging others in conversation, showing their products and distributing printed information. All attendees paid for their lunches, but there was no charge for display tables. Café Julia catered a very tasty meal and was very accommodating when many more people showed up than had signed up. Exhibitors who participated were very pleased with the result—some even sold products on the spot. This trial project exceeded our expectations and many members inquired when we plan to hold it again.
4-Way Test Essay Contest—our Club conducts this essay contest annually for high school students on Oahu.Submissions are sought from both public and private schools and focus on the values conveyed in the 4-WayTest and how the writer has applied these to a personal life situation. Essays are judged by a team of Clubmembers. 108 entries were received this year and two award winners were chosen: Waipahu High School’sAshley Queen Lamug Ganti ($500) and Iolani School’s David Pang ($1000). They received their awards atour weekly lunch meeting on September 9th. A family representative and English teacher of each studentwere also introduced and hosted for lunch. Winning essays were posted on our Club’s web site.
