Sara Tomastik

On Jan. 7, Sara Tomastik will share insights from the Maui wildfire exposure study as she presents at the meeting of the Rotary Club of Lahaina Sunset.

Tomastik is a community organizer and nonprofit professional who moved to Maui from California in 2018.

She has worked for multiple nonprofit organizations serving under-resourced communities and has a master’s degree in cultural anthropology from the California Institute of Integral Studies with an emphasis on gender, ecology and culture.

She volunteers with Nā Leo Kako’o in support of public Hawaiian language immersion programs, Aloha Maui Pride in support of local LGBTQ and mahu communities, and Honi Honi Cats.

The meeting will be inside the restaurant at the Royal Lahaina Resort and Bungalows, 2780 Kekaa Drive, in Lahaina. Social time is at 4 p.m. and the program will be from 4:30-5:30 pm. To attend in person, email Club Service Chair Laura Stanton at lstanton127@outlook.com.
