Pearl Haven Site Visit 7/21 Modern day human trafficking occurs daily under our very eyes. The average age of a child trafficked in Hawaii is about 13 years old. We have the opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of, not only the children, but their families by partnering with Ho’ola Na Pua to create Hawaii’s first home, Pearl Haven, that will help survivors and their families rebuild their lives and become productive members of our community. Please join us for a site visit, to Pearl Haven, on July 21, 2018 at 9AM to see what is, not only possible, but will be the future. To ensure that the location remains secure we do not publish the address. Please, contact Mark Merriam for location information at mark.rotary@outlook.com or call 381-5504.

Hope to see everyone there! The HOC needs a lot of help to promote the 2020 Convention in Hawaii. (Booth volunteers needed)
We want to thank all our vendors that supported the 2018 Hilo Huli. Let's return the favor and support their businesses as they struggle with a slow down in business due to the lava in Pahoa and closure of Volcano National Park. Mahalo!
