Peter Luango former musical director of the Langley Ukelele Ensemble now taken over by his son Paul Luango gave a brief history of the ensemble. They have been playing in Hawaii for over twenty years with a deal made with the Sheraton Waikiki. They have been entertaining us on their visits for many years.

Kathy Higa was finally presented with her well deserved trophy as Rotarian of the Year 2018-19 as it just arrived in the mail a few weeks late. Presenter was Past President Stephen Morgan who thanked her for the many projects she volunteered in during his Presidency.

It was great to see a good turnout of our members and guests to listen to the Langley Ukulele Ensemble performance at our Wednesday meeting. The music and entertainment by this young group under the direction of Paul Luango was superb.

Richard Zegar (Rich) moved to Honolulu with his wife of 51 years, Lee, in 1992, after a 23 year 10 month 4 day career in the U.S. Marine Corps retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. They lived in Europe for 3 years and Rich served another 4 years in various overseas posts, mostly in the Western Pacific and Asia , including Kuwait in the first

In February 2001, his close friend Hans Kolb brought him into the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunset. Rich became involved with International Services and served as Director for several years before being asked to serve as Foundation Director. He is now in his 10th year in that post. Early in 2012 PDG Ayman El Dakhakhni asked him to join the District Foundation Committee as Annual Giving Chair, which he did for 3 years.
