This club is the sister club to the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset, and the travelers were treated to special activities to celebrate the five-year anniversary of this vibrant and active Rotary Club.

According to President Dollinger, “Community members are welcome to join us on this special evening and learn about all the great things our club has accomplished.

“‘Be the Inspiration’ was the Rotary International theme for this past year. We are inspired by all of our members and volunteers who have given their time and talent to make a difference, and we welcome friends, family, visitors and new prospective members and leaders who are interested in becoming involved.”

The Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset is one of ten Rotary Clubs located on Maui and Lanai.

Rotary is a leadership organization made up of local business, professional and civic leaders.

Club members meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships and get things done in our community.
