JOIN US!
Welcome to The Rotary Club Of Kona!
Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change. We have club activities, social events, and volunteer projects that offer networking opportunities that build personal and professional connections while at the same time serving the community. And Rotarians can extend those networks by visiting other clubs around the globe.
 
Please JOIN US! Thursdays at 12:00 Noon. 
We do not meet on the first Thursday of the month. Also, it's a good idea to check the calendar to make sure we are meeting the week you want to come!
