Aloha Honolulu Sunset Rotarians,
We had a great meeting this past Thursday. The highlight of the meeting was the presentation of a vocational scholorship award to Elyn Ogasawara, a Kapiolani Culinary School student. Accompaning her was associate professor Lori Maehara. Lori mentioned that she remembers Ron Mazuk who supported their program and was a past member of Honolulu Sunset Rotary club. Ron and his wife Carole reside in Ft. Myers, Florida.
Charlene ElSawify (Samir's wife) was elected to be a honorary member of our club.

A slate of next year's board of directors was presented by secretary Gautham Gulvady.
Reminders:
- The meeting fee will end on December 31st this year.
- As we are not meeting our minimum obligation to the Waikiki Yacht Club we will have 3 meetings/month with the 4th Thursday as a fellowship or service event. Marco, Membership Chair, has January 12, 2023 as Membership Night to invite potential members.
- January 1, 2023 there will be a mercantil fee (credit card purchasing fee) of 3% added to any credit card transactions in our club. This will include membership dues for the next quarter if paid after December 31st. To avoid paying this fee, you may pay by cash or check. You will be helping our club minimize any additional charges related to credit card transactions.
Finally please send in the contact info for potential new members to Marco Schlesser our membership chair. You can also invite them to our meeting ahead of time. I have invited several guests to our Christmas party.
We hope to see you next week December 15th at our anniversary and Christmas holidays party.
Beth and Jim Hoban along with Gautham Gulvady are planning a fun evening so please plan on attending, it is not too late to sign up.
