Our speaker this week will be Lillian Cumic, Vegan Chef, Recipe Developer & Author, Hawaii A Vegan Paradise
Veganism is not just a healthy trend, but a new and permanent facet of the American lifestyle.” Hawaii A Vegan Paradise” shatters the notion that vegan food is boring and explains why more people are giving up their knives for forks to embark on a healthier way of living.
Lillian explains: I have been creating plant-based recipes for over two decades. A vegan chef and cooking instructor from Sydney, Australia, I made Sendai, Japan my home for thirty years working in the food industry and refining my craft. Shortly after moving to Honolulu in December, 2018, I started Lillian Vegan LLC; became host of “Lillian’s Vegan World” on ThinkTech Hawaii sharing my passion of the vegan lifestyle and plant-based diet, and host the only 7-Course fine dining vegan events in Hawaii.
My first cookbook, Hawai‘i A Vegan Paradise: Over 120 Plant-Based Recipes from the Islands was released on Oct 30, 2020. A fascinating recipe collection of Island vegan food that covers every aspect of the plant-based diet.
In my free time I enjoy yoga, going to the beach and wine at cocktail hour.

Please join us for our weekly meeting on Zoom! Our usual informal happy (half) hour begins at 6:00 pm, and the bell rings at 6:30 pm to formally start the meeting.
Our speaker will be PDG Win Schoneman, who will be talking about the "Forgotten Fund."
All Rotarians are familiar with the Rotary Foundation and the great work that the Foundation facilitates. We are less familiar with the programs within the fund...both contributory and how we fund grants. This week I will be presenting on "The Forgotten Fund"... the Endowment Fund of the Rotary Foundation. I call it the "forgotten fund" because it is the least known and rarely talked about with our members. Maybe it is because most contributions are in the form of bequests... yet it could be the most important fund for providing for our future and there is a mechanism for making a cash contribution as well. One of the things that we do know is that demand for funds exceeds our current contributions. It is time to grow. To join the meeting via Zoom, please follow this link:

This week's speaker will be John Yoshimori, who will talk about Task Force Oceania, which is a US Army organization recently stood up as an avenue of US government support to the Pacific island countries of Oceania. He will be joining our club's meeting on Zoom.
John shared about himself: "I am born and raised here in Hawaii, and graduated Castle High School in 1986 and went on to UH for my undergraduate degree in Pre-Med. From there I went to Graduate School also at UH and got my Masters in Public Health. I took the MCAT and did not get a score worthy of entry into medical school. while going to undergrad/graduate school I worked in the surf industry during those formative years, which I thought I would return one day, but due to my obligations I don't think that will happen any time soon. Enlisted in the Army in 1991 to join the fight during the first desert war with the endorsements of my Uncles who were 100/442 Veterans and told me at every family event that I should serve my country. I replied to them that I am an Eagle Scout and I did my public duty, but they insisted that you either serve your country as a Soldier or a Peace Corps volunteer.
Shortly after enlisting in the Army and graduating with my MPH from UH, I got a full time job at Pearl Harbor Shipyard Medical Clinic where I began my career working as an Industrial Hygienist. Been bouncing back and forth between the Navy and Army in the Federal Civil Service. I tell everyone I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Therefore I have become a Jack of All Trades and a Master of none. My eclectic personality drives that train, and my dream job would be to work in research and development. I have had previous experience with my own businesses from car detailing when I was 14 years old, to selling car detailing chemicals, to flipping residences and buying/selling properties as I climbed the property ladder. My goal at the time was to build a real estate empire, but I got divorced and had to sell the properties.
That is me in a nutshell.
The Army sent me all over the world to which I had the pleasure of working in New Zealand, Palau, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Yap, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. As part of the "milk run" through Micronesia I did get some time in Maguro and Kwajilien."
