Rotary Club delivers $920 to Hana students

Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset President Heidi Dollinger and Youth Service Chair Erica Gale presented a $920 check to the children at Hana School in a recent school assembly.

These funds and more than 10 boxes of school supplies were collected at the club’s School Supplies Drive held in August at the Lahaina Cannery Mall.

Hana School has been “adopted” by the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset to be the beneficiary of annual school supplies drives and other youth-related projects.

Hana School is in the same Hawaii Department of Education Complex as the Lahaina schools, but prior to this past year, no Rotary Club has offered service projects for this community.

“Hana is more than 70 miles from Lahaina, and it traverses 52 one-way bridges to get there, but it is not far from the minds of our club members,” said Dollinger. “We recognize there is a need in the community to help families and teachers with the cost of school supplies for education.”

Dollinger and Gale were enthusiastically greeted and cheered by more than 60 students in an assembly during the check presentation.
