I SAY "BRITANNIA," YOU SAY "BERETANIA"


How did Beretania Street get its name? What happened to the ponds in Kapiolani Park? Where is the best petroglyph site on Oahu? Today’s guest speaker, Professor Willis H A Moore, gave us a taste of Honolulu’s fascinating history. He is a teacher at Chaminade University, former education coordinator at Bishop Museum, world traveler, author, lecturer with the Hawai’i Geographic Society and the National Audubon Society, founding member of the Sierra Club Hawaii Chapter, and walking encyclopedia. If you enjoyed his presentation, join him for a Hawaii Geographic Society Walking Trek through Honolulu (just $15 per person with a 2-person minimum) at hawaiigeographhicsociety@gmail.com or 808-538-3952.

New Friends



Today we were also glad to welcome three guests: potential member Kelly McCanlies, guest of President-Elect Amin Leiman; Al Green, father of Kim Green; and visiting Rotarian Mark Malculinski from the Rotary Club of Toledo, Ohio, the 13th largest Rotary Club in the world. Mahalo to Margit for inspiring us to live in the present and remember that “today matters.”
