In Focus: Taste of Hawai`i

Taste of Hawai`i, Kapa`a Rotary Club’s signature food event, celebrated its 25^th Anniversary June 2, featuring some of the State’s exemplary regional cuisine. Chefs traveled from outer islands representing O`ahu, Big Island and Maui. When Rotary isn’t hosting the biggest Sunday brunch on the island, club members are spreading the word about ocean safety, lending a hand to youth groups such as, Boys and Girls Clubs and supporting numerous projects to protect and enrich the island’s residents and the `aina.
