Join the fun and help the Kauai community at the same time

We are a club of more than 30 great members who are committed to serving the community and having fun!

We do a wide variety of service projects throughout the year. We also raise funds to award scholarships and provide grants to other community non-profits. In addition to the projects highlighted here on our home page, please also have a look at our About Us page for an overview and a video of our activities.

If you are interested in joining our club, we want to hear from you (Contact Us).

Or if you are a current Rotarian, please join us at a meeting or on a project!

Co-Presidents Dani Dooley and Cyrus Tumbaga

Our meetings are continuing on Zoom for now. We gather together to catch up with each other, discuss our upcoming projects, and to hear a speaker, usually someone talking about an issue or an initiative in our local community.

Check the Calendar page for meeting dates and times.

Ho! Ho! Ho! About 100 children from Child & Family Services, in conjunction with Nana's House, were treated to a drive-through Christmas breakfast event with Santa. This annual event is sponsored by our club. The Interact Club helped in advance to wrap Santa's gifts.

Club members presented third graders at four south shore schools with their very own dictionary as well as showing them how to use it!

The club has partnered with Surfrider on beach cleanups. At Maha'ulepu we had 27 Rotary volunteers working to pick up marine debris and microplastics.

Volunteers from our club and the Island School Interact club clean up the highway in the Kalaheo area.

Amber Asuncion was awarded a $5000 scholarship from the Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation (HRYF) in 2021.

As Rotarians we believe part of our service is to the broader international community. As part of our international service Rotary Club of Poipu Beach helped to build a pre-school in Pursat Province, Cambodia. We provide ongoing support for the teacher, school supplies, and a meal program. Pictured above is International Service Director Dr. Craig Nishimoto visiting the school along with his wife, Annette.

Rotary Clubs across Kauai installed and continue to maintain the yellow beach rescue tubes on our beaches. To date we know of over 140 people being rescued with these devices and there may be more. Please watch this video produced by the Kauai Lifeguard Association on how to use the tubes. It's wise to be prepared!
