International Travel and Hosting
Rotarians

ITHF exists to promote and facilitate regional, national
and international "connections" between its members.
ITHF members travel to all different parts of the worldand host members from all other parts. Members' lives
are enriched by these connections and cross-culturalexchanges.
ITHF in Perspective:
Rotary Fellowships offer Rotarians and partners theopportunity to make friends with others in Rotary whoshare common interests. The ITHF is one of more than
60 officially sanctioned and recognized recreational
fellowships. They range in interests from golf to wine tofishing to travel and hosting, and more. For a complete
list, see Rotary.org.
ITHF was officially recognized by Rotary in 1989. ITHF
is incorporated and is governed by a Board ofDirectors consisting of a President, President-Elect,
Treasurer, Secretary, and 4 Vice Presidents. Reportingto the Board are a group of 35 Area Vice Presidents
from all regions of the world, a Membership Director,
Promotions Director, Web-master, Facebook Editor,
Communications/Connections Editor, and a Tour
Committee. The work of the Fellowship is supported by
an Administrator.

Editor – PP Geoff Horvath

Members planning travel refer to the Members Only
database on the ITHF website to identify other ITHF
members living in the area. Prospective hosts arecontacted 30+ days in advance. They consent to a"connection" subject to their own convenience.
"Connection" details are worked out between themembers.
ITHF "connections" are self-paced, subject to individual
preferences and can coincide with business or pleasure
travel. Membership in the ITHF implies a desire andintent to accommodate other ITHF visitors; however,such "connections" are always subject to theconvenience of the hosts.

As an enrichment, the ITHF frequently offers "tours" ledby dedicated and experienced Rotarians, andpackaged at the lowest cost possible. These tours mostoften coincide with Rotary International Conventions
and are limited to ITHF members and partners only.
The ITHF is NOT a bed and breakfast organization. It
is not a home hotel association. There is no obligationto accommodate visitors in the home - the "connection"
will be richer for it, but some members do not havespace for visitors.
What ITHF Offers

reveal powerful ideas that resonate with your very
core. I mean someone did “quote” these words for areason :). (codesofliving.com)“Difficult and meaningful will always

When was Tylenol (Acetaminophen) discovered?

President Alex Kanamu

Rotary – 115 Years of Service to the World!

Today marked the last board meeting for the Rotary
Year 2019-2020. A year jam-packed with events,projects, and fellowship. It was the year that endedwith a pandemic, restricting Rotary meetings. Most ofthe Clubs in D5K quickly transitioned to Zoom or othermeeting media platforms, almost without missing abeat.
We started off with review and approval of Minutes
from Rotary Year 2019-2020 – Jackie Barnes,
Recording Secretary. Minutes were approved withminor changes. Next, we received the Treasurers
report. We are still in the Black, but may want toconsider alternate means of raising funds, like virtual
bingo, or golf tournament. If we have our golf
tournament, it will be in September or October. Wealso discussed making flyers and sending them out toour local businesses requesting contributions to ourscholarship programs. This will offset our fundraisingefforts. PP Lilette Subedi said she would take this on.
We had PP Charlie Duncan join us today, so President
Alex asked our newest member, Aaron “Kaleo”
Agsalda to give PP Charlie a bit of background.
Kaleo told PP Charlie that he is running for a Houseseat in District 46, that he was raised in Wahiawa as ayoung boy, assisting his father with their Palm GroupLand Scaping Co. (Royal Palm Construction andLandscaping). Aaron has a deep desire to give back to
his community.
President Alex gave the President’s Recap andRemarks.
President Alex started out by saying this was a newexperience for him. Being a business owner, he was the
only one responsible for making decisions on the flyand immediately. Being President of a Club was very
difficult for him, “I didn’t play well with others!” It wasa huge learning curve, but thanks to the support during
his time as president he was able to adapt and have
two successful years.
“We have to do a better job of getting people toserve.” We have to do it in a way that won’t turnpeople off, coming to meetings and getting hit up, andin turn, not wanting to come to meetings. We have tocome up with a good succession plan for PE Keoni andbeyond. We don’t want the wrong person in the wrong
place.
The most memorable events for President Alex was theBali joint international project. It was very rewardingand meeting Rotarians from around the globe. It washard finance-wise, but well worth it. He is looking
forward to participating in another internationalproject, and encourages others to participate.
Other memorable events were our golf tournaments
and Dictionary Projects.
Alex is planning on going to Iceland in the near future.

President Alex is excited about taking over ourmembership committee and will be recruiting a lot ofnew members.
Thank you, President Alex, for two years of fun,excitement, and leadership!

Answer to the Quiz of the Week: 1955

History Of Acetaminophen
The creation of Tylenol dates back to the discovery of
its active ingredient, acetaminophen, which was almost
an accident in itself. In 1886, two French doctors named
Arnold Cahn and Paul Hepp were looking fortreatments for a parasitic infection in one of theirpatients. They ordered a supply of naphthalene, acommon drug during the period, but they mistakenly
received an obscure drug known as acetanilide, which
was marketed for pain relief. After trying this drug on
the patient, they noticed that it not only cured pain, but
reduced fevers.

Acetanilide

How was "Tylenol" discovered?
In the spring of 1955, McNeil introduced TYLENOL
Elixir, which was only for children specifically. The
company introduced the first single ingredient"Acetaminophen" to their products. This productattributed a different marketing strategy then othermedications out thre in the pharmaceutical industry. The
company wanted to inform health care professionals
about the unwanted effects of Aspirin, and would ask
them to recommend Tylenol to their patients andconvey the benefits of Tylenol telling them that it ismuch more of a safe drug alternative to Aspirin for theThe Rotary Club ofWahiawa-Waialua

relief of pain and fever. Though it was designed forchildren, it quickly became the dominant pain relief
drug in North America. Based on the excellent results,
and the low number of complications, McNeil was able
to launch the drug over-the-counter in 1959. In 1961,
the company added a line of Regular-Strength Tylenol
tablets for not only children but adults to! Tylenols
success was so vast it persuaded McNeil to develop
other Tylenol products!

PPs Lilette Subedi and Doc McKenzie

When was "Tylenol" discovered?
Tylenol was discovered in 1955 McNeil introduces
Tylenol Elixir for children the first aspirin-free pain
reliever. Tylenol Elixir is available by prescription only.
1961 As the Tylenol "over the counter" option grew,which did include the launch of Adult Tylenol RegularStrength. 1975 The Tylenol line of products became the5 greatest selling brand product in the U.S.
