Presidents Message

Glen Bailey

Aloha Honolulu Sunset Rotarians,

I'm excited! Since our last meeting our club led a Ro-tary Days/Rotarians at Work project on Saturday March 28th at the homeless US VETS facility at Bar-bers Point. Seventy (70) Rotarians from seven Oahu Rotary Clubs participated as $3,500 was raised and spent on needed items, over 650 clothing items were collected, a fun luncheon put on for the 110 US Homeless VETS, and much needed upgrades to their facilities were completed. Sixteen of our members led by Mary Whitworth, Dave Talbert, Jane Brown, and others worked to put on this major project that benefited US Homeless VETS.

Our guest speaker this week will be Rotary 5000 Assistant Governor "Clint Schroeder" who will give a presentation on his trip to India to participate in Polio Plus. Our year long membership drive is still going on and I encourage you to bring a prospective new member to our meeting Monday.

See you Monday, April 6th.

Thank-you

Glen

Clint Schroeder—District Governor Nominee Clint Schroeder joined his first Rotary club in June 2000. Being the youngest member of the Loveland-

After relocating to Hawaii in 2005, he joined Metropolitan Honolulu, and has served his current club in a multitude of ways. From community service to fundraising, Clint’s passion for Rotary has never stopped growing. During the 2012-13 Rotary year, Clint was President of Metropolitan and D5000 Vocational Chair. Clint went on to serve the District as Assistant District Governor from 2013-2015.

Clint possesses almost 20 years of media, publishing, marketing, and commercial printing experience, as well as experience working in the Denver and Chicago metro markets. His experience with franchise protection, associate development, brand management, and market share improvement for his own company, and those of his clients, is expansive.

Additionally, Clint is a recognized global procurement professional with global general business experience and intense experience/emphasis on China, Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, and Canada. Clint is called on regularly to provide Master’s-level training/instruction/certification in the US, Vietnam and China.

In addition to his extensive experience with Rotary, Clint is heavily involved in giving back to the community of Hawaii and has garnered much local recognition, including being selected as one of the Pacific Business News “40 Under 40” Class of 2011.
