June is Rotary Fellowships Month!
“Fellowship is wonderful; it
illuminates life’s pathway, spreads
good cheer, and is worth high price.”-Rotary Founder Paul Harris

June is designated Rotary Fellowships Month torecognize the importance of international fellowshipand goodwill among Rotarians with similar recreationaland vocational interests, promote increased
participation
infellowships,
andincrease
understanding of this program.

What are the benefits for Rotarians in joining theRotary Fellowships?
Fellowship provides opportunities for Rotarians tomake lasting friendships outside their own Club, District
or country. Fellowships contribute to the advancementof world understanding and peace. Also, Fellowships
serve as an incentive for attracting new members toRotary and retaining our existing members. Indeed,
Rotary Fellowship, together with the Rotarian Action
Groups, serve as an effective tool in promoting
membership development and should be actively
promoted in our Districts.
Fellowship is one of the core values of Rotary. June isRotary Fellowships month. It is when groups ofRotarians, Rotarians’ spouses and Rotaractors join
together to share a common interest in worthwhile
recreational activities such as hobbies, sports etc. It is agood opportunity to further our vocational
development through acquaintance with others of thesame profession and explore new opportunities forservice.
Throughout the wide world of Rotary, many members
share similar hobbies, recreational activities andavocations. Rotarians with common interests areencouraged to establish groups, called World
Fellowship Activities, or Inter- national Fellowships, topromote friendship and share their special leisure timeexperiences. One of the pioneer fellowship groups, theInternational Golfing Fellowship, has held an annual
gathering and golf tournament for the past 26 years
in various cities of the world. Many of the fellowshipspromote their activity at colorful booths set up at
Rotary's annual international convention.

Some popular World Fellowship Activities are flying,amateur radio; stamp collecting, music, yachting,caravanning, skiing, tennis and travel. More unusual"fellowships" involve Rotarians interested ingenealogy, recreational vehicles, curling, tree planting,Rotary – 116 Years of Service to the World!

I want to let you know that I relocated to Cape Cod 2weeks ago. After 55 wonderful years in the islands, I
decided to return to the East Coast to be withfamily. Also, I just became a grandmother for the firsttime with the birth of a grandson 2 weeks ago!

WA so I will be spending time there as well.
So, a big change for me as I bring on my next

Answer to the Quiz of the Week. 1997
When was Netflix founded?

Fellowship
We had a great time with fellowship today! We hadtime to enjoy each other’s company while making
suggestions on planning for next Rotary Year. We
firmed up our next weeks’ meeting. We will be meetingat Ruby Tuesday’s in Mililani Town Center at 12:00
pm. We are asked all members to bring your ideas tothe meeting as we plan for an exciting and busy year.
Jackie Barnes is still looking for places to meet formeetings. We would prefer a location with hot spots so
we could have a hybrid meeting (in person and Zoom).
We will also decide if we will reduce our meetings totwo a week a month, with board meetings once aquarter, unless an emergent issue has to be resolved.
We may move our meetings to 6:00-6:30 pm to allow
more members to attend, after their work day.

Netflix was founded in 1997 in Scotts Valley,California. It was originally a rent-by-mail DVD
service that used a pay-per-rental model. Users wouldbrowse and order the films they wanted on theirwebsite, put in an order, and Netflix would post themto your door. It was founded by Marc Randolph andReed Hastings.
