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 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:
